BOURGOGNE HAUTES COTES DE NUITS GEORGES NOELLAT 2017
Domaine Georges Noëllat is located in Vosne-Romanée in Burgundy. Until 2010, a large part of the harvest was sold in bulk to Louis Jadot and Joseph Drouhin. When Maxime Cheurlin, 20 years-old at the time, took over the vineyard from George’s grandmother and wife, he began his own production of elegant Pinot Noir. He manages 5.5 hectares of vines in the best vineyards of Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-Saint-Georges with plots in the Grand Cru Echezeaux and Grands Echezaux. The vineyard is exploited according to the principles of sustainable agriculture.
Harvests are manual, often destemmed and cold macerated before fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Aging lasts between 14 and 20 months in barrels. The wines are bottled without filtration or fining.
Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir
