Alain Hudelot-Noellat, Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru, Aux Malconsorts 2020

CRITIC REVIEWS

Charles Curtis MW

The wine is inky dark, with profuse aromas of ripe black cherry and plum fruit, supported by a complex array of aromas from rose petals to ginger, and baking spice to minerals. The first impression is one of finesse, but there is also substantial length and a quality level just below the grands crus. Hudelot-Noëllat farms 0.14ha of Malconsorts, planted in 1950. In 2020 the grapes had a manageable 13.5% alcohol. Charles van Canneyt ferments 20% as whole-cluster and ages in half-new barrels. T

The 2020 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts is the most powerful, as well as the least evolved, of the domaines premiers crus. Unwinding in the glass with scents of dark berries, cherries, exotic spices, licorice, loamy soil and ripe plums, its full-bodied, rich and layered, with a seamless, multidimensional profile and a long, expansive finish. This will require and reward patience.
