Domaine Patrick Hudelot Les Colombieres Hautes-Cotes de Nuits Bourgogne Rouge

Domaine Patrick Hudelot’s Les Colombières is a charming Hautes‑Côtes de Nuits Pinot Noir that beautifully reflects its origins in biodynamically farmed vineyards near Nuits‑Saint‑Georges, planted on clay‑limestone and marl-rich slopes typical of the region . The gently rolling mid-slopes, coupled with cooler continental influenced weather, yield Pinot with lift, freshness, and clarity. Typically fermented naturally in tank with whole berries destemmed, the wine sees 2–3 weeks of fermentation with daily punch-downs and a modest élevage with nine months on the lees preserving a juicy, approachable character. In the glass, Les Colombières presents as a glistening ruby. On the nose, think bright raspberry and cassis interwoven with floral whispers and gentle earthy undertones forming a pure and inviting Pinot expression. The palate feels light‑on‑its‑feet yet lively, delivering juicy red fruits with silky tannins, a savory whisper, and mouthwatering acidity that keeps things animated. Th finish is clean and refreshing, perfect for immediate enjoyment, though its finesse and balance suggest it can gracefully evolve over the next 5+ years. It’s the kind of Burgundy that welcomes a second pour. Endlessly food-friendly and effortlessly versatile at the table. Imagine it alongside grilled pork chops, roasted root vegetables, or an herb-flecked charcuterie.
