Bottled just before the harvest, the 2015 Bourgogne Rouge, a blend of 18 parcels all in front of Chambolle-Musigny, actually represents one-third of the total production of the domaine. It has a lovely, quite sensual red cherry and bergamot-scented bouquet that is generous and pure. The palate is rounded on the entry with fine tannin, pretty and nimble with a crisp and precise finish. This is how to do a generic red Burgundy.
This is at once notably ripe yet quite fresh with liqueur-like red berry fruit aromas. There is excellent volume to the delicious middle weight flavors that possess fine richness and punch on the lightly structured finale. This would make a very good choice for a delicious yet serious house red. By the way, Hudelot consistently seems to do well with their Bourgogne and this admirable effort will only add to that reputation. Jan 2017, www.burghound.com
