Domaine Hudelot-Baillet Description
"It was close to midnight in the cellars of Frederic Mugnier in the village of Chambolle-Musigny. I had just purchased two tons of grapes and Fred was helping me through the winemaking process. Not as easy as they say. 'Just throw the grapes in a vat and let them ferment.'
After about 10 hours of sorting grapes from the difficult 2007 vintage the only way to stay awake was small talk (and coffee). Fortunately, Fred was right there with me sorting a few grapes but more importantly playing some ultra cool jazz which resonated through the cuverie.
At one point, I asked who in the village was making some really good wine besides the obvious. He said, 'Go see Dominique Le Guen at Domaine Hudelot-Baillet.' After tasting for two years I found the wines to be consistently expressive of their respective vintage and terroir. One comes to expect this from good Burgundy. More importantly, the wines have an inner energy giving them extra lift and depth."
