FEATURES
🏰The 2021 Georges Noellat Beaune Les Tuvilains 1er Cru is an 【elegant and classic Beaune 1er Cru that beautifully reflects the refined style of Domaine Georges Noellat】, particularly in a vintage like 2021, which was characterized by cooler conditions and vibrant acidity. This Pinot Noir offers enticing aromas of red berries such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by hints of violet, forest floor, and subtle spicy notes from barrel aging. The palate is fresh and lively, with silky tannins and a beautifully accentuated fruity sensation, leading to a long and elegantly spiced finish with a complex sense of terroir. It's described as floral and vivid, with delicate fruit and a light-footed, velvety, and generous character.
🍴 This elegant red Burgundy pairs wonderfully with roasted chicken, duck breast, mushroom-based dishes, or delicate charcuterie. For an Eastern pairing, consider a light Cantonese roast goose or a subtly spiced Japanese yakitori.
🥂 Perfect for a romantic dinner, a gathering with friends, or as a thoughtful gift for a Burgundy lover. Its freshness and elegance make it suitable for enjoyment in its youth, but it also has the potential to age gracefully.
BACKGROUND
Domaine Georges Noellat is a Burgundy winery located in Vosne-Romagne, famous for its Pinot Noir wine. Maxime Scheurlin, the 20-year-old grandson of George's wife, took over the estate from George's wife and made his debut with the excellent 2010 vintage. Prior to this, most of the winery's production was sold in bulk to négociant companies. Today, the domaine owns approximately 10 hectares (25 acres) of vineyards, spanning Vonn and neighboring communes, with a further ten hectares acquired through purchase and lease agreements. Of course, the domaine is still best known for its prized assets in Vosne, which include the Echezaux and Grands Echezaux parcels.
