Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts Georges Noëllat (Domaine) 2013

The wine

A go-to Burgundy domain, Georges Noëllat shares his premiers and grands crus on the Vosne-Romanée appellation with domains like Romanée-Conti, Anne Gros and Méo-Camuzet. Maxime Cheurlin took up the domain in 2010, bringing a new energy with him. The style of these wines has turned to the terroir thanks to low-intervention vinifications and reduced use of new wood. Each parcel is vinified separately. All the work on the 5.5 hectares is carried out by hand, and fermentation is instigated by indigenous yeasts. This Beaux Monts premier cru is a real success. With superb volume and texture, its tannins are well-integrated with the rest of the palate. This wine can be aged for several decades, so it’s not for the impatient among you.
