Burgundy domaines are reinvigorated, even reborn, when a new generation joins a venerable establishment. When Alain Hudelot-Noellat retired in 2008 his grandson Charles Van Canneyt took over the reins; since then Hudelot-Noellat has just gotten better and better. The wine quality, which was always very good, has risen dramatically. Like many of the new generation of Burgundian winemakers, Charles focuses on meticulous grape farming and limiting yield in the vineyards - quantities are lower but the quality is greatly improved.

Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 96
"An ultra-spicy, ripe, elegant and admirably pure nose offers up notes of dark berries, sandalwood and tea along with plenty of floral influence. There is equally good breadth to the rich, intense and tension-filled full-bodied and stony flavors that possess excellent power and drive on the seductively textured, muscular and classy finish. In a word, impressive."

Antonio Galloni

AG 96
"Bright ruby-red. More brooding on the nose than the Romanée-Saint-Vivant, conveying a medicinal cast to its aromas of dark berries, licorice pastille and violet. Boasts outstanding density and power but this penetrating wine shows a magically light touch and comes across as distinctly airy today. Not fleshy but delivers superb energy and cut. Quite different in style from the Romanée-Saint-Vivant but then these two grand crus typically go through phases during their élevage, so predicting their final shape and fruit/mineral balance is far more difficult than assessing their quality in the early going." -Stephen Tanzer

Robert Parker

RP 98
"The 2016 Richebourg Grand Cru has a very harmonious bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit with hints of crushed violet and freshly shucked oyster shell, later a touch of flint. It is extremely well defined and focused, conveying the sense of aristocracy one seeks from a Richebourg. The palate is medium-bodied with filigreed tannin. There is real density and presence here and it is certainly more expressive than the Romanée-Saint-Vivant at the moment, with palpable tension on the finish. Outstanding." -Neal Martin

Jancis Robinson

JR 17.5
"Truly rich and sumptuous. Transparent with masses of well-judged ripe fruit. Very rewarding. A hint of coffee on the end. But overall this is fine wine. Long and rich."

Decanter

D 96
"This is a beauty in 2016, revealing a deep-pitched bouquet of wild berries, rich red and black fruit, asphalt, rich soil and spice. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, complete and multidimensional; broader and more textural than the Romanée-St-Vivant, with considerable power and authority, its tannins cloaked in ripe fruit. This is a superb Richebourg with a sense of reserve, despite its near-unctuousness, which indicates it will need longer in the cellar than the Romanée-St-Vivant.Drinking Window 2026 - 2045."
