Domaine Georges Noëllat, in the heart of the village of Vosne-Romanee, is a historic estate now helmed by the young and highly talented Maxime Cheurlin, grandson of founder Georges. He took over in 2010 aged just 20 years old, after studying at the Lycee du Viticole and gaining experience at the outstanding Rouget and Gros family domaines. Wines labeled 'Maxime Cheurlin Noëllat' come from fruit purchased from other growers who Maxime works closely with.
Maxime's winemaking style is heralded for the gentle treatment of the grapes, allowing terroir and finesse to shine through. He destems almost all of his red grapes, and allows for a natural extraction without excessive punch downs to achieve deliciously balanced tannins. After aging the wines are bottled without fining or filtration.
A blend of two parcels, one in Comblanchien south of Nuits-Saint-Georges planted in the 1980s and the other in Brochon just north of Gevrey planted 1960s. 18 months aging in 25% new barrels.
An outstanding red burgundy with deep, rich fruit and lovely composure and freshness. Red cherry, cinnamon and anise notes come through with the soft and gentle tannin keeping everything together on the palate. Delightful alone or serve with seared tuna steak or roast chicken.
