Domaine Alain HUDELOT-NOËLLAT (Chambolle-Musigny) -- 2016s Tasted from Barrel

Harvesting here began on 24 September. Overall, the estate suffered a loss of 30% from a normal harvest, reported Charles van Canneyt. In this vintage, he destemmed all the grapes because of the unevenness of the stem ripeness. The grapes, though, were very healthy, he continued, and there was almost no chaptalization for the wines.
