FEATURES
🏰 The 2023 vintage in Burgundy is still very young, and wines like Georges Noëllat's Vosne Romanée Les Chaumes 1er Cru are likely just beginning their journey in barrel or bottle. Vosne-Romanée is celebrated for producing some of the most elegant and aromatic Pinot Noirs in the world. The "Les Chaumes" 1er Cru vineyard, located near "Aux Malconsorts" and north of Nuits-Saint-Georges, benefits from iron-based clay and limestone soils ideal for Pinot Noir. While specific tasting notes for the 2023 are scarce, the 2022 vintage from this vineyard showed a deep ruby colour, intense aromas of blackcurrant and pepper, with an ample and ethereal palate, smooth tannins, and notes of blackcurrant and mocha, culminating in a very elegant finish. The 2024 vintage from Louis Latour also revealed mocha and spice aromas. Expect the 2023 to follow a similar profile, offering a wine with significant aging potential, showcasing the finesse and aromatic complexity typical of Vosne-Romanée. 【Elegance and aromatic complexity of Vosne-Romanée】.
🍴 This young, yet promising, red Burgundy will eventually pair beautifully with refined dishes such as roasted poultry, veal, game (deer, venison, boar), or red meat in a wine sauce or with mushrooms. Mature cheeses would also be an excellent accompaniment.
🥂 This wine is perfect for cellaring to allow its full potential to unfold. Once mature, it would be ideal for a special anniversary, a celebratory dinner, or a sophisticated gathering of Burgundy enthusiasts.
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.
