Domaine Georges Noëllat was founded by Georges Noëllat, nephew of Charles Noëllat,?–?whose vines contributed to shape the estates of Jean-Jacques Confuron, Hudelot-Noëllat and Leroy,?–?and great-grandfather of the current owner, Maxime Cheurlin. Maxime Cheurlin took over the estate in 2010 after studying at the wine school in Beaune. He has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the estate, significantly raising the quality of its wines, notably through a much more precise and judicious approach to ageing. The estate has an exceptional vineyard portfolio, with Premiers Crus and Grands Crus in Vosne-Romanée, Échezeaux and Nuits-Saint-Georges, as well as several parcels of centenarian vines. The vines are tended entirely by hand, without the use of chemical treatments, while in the winery the wines are vinified using native yeasts. The estate’s wines are true gems.

Nestling south of Dijon, the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation is the first village on the Côte de Nuits. The Chambertin name was first associated with Gevrey in 1847, under the influence of King Louis-Philippe. The old vineyard is home to the famous Les Échesaux climat, located just south of the prestigious Charmes-Chambertin. The Pinot Noir vines rise from brown soil consisting of clay, limestone and iron ore. In the winery, the emphasis is on showcasing the terroir. The hand-picked grapes are vinified according to traditional methods. Fermentation is triggered by native yeasts and perfectly controlled with a low proportion of new wood.
The bright, dazzling ruby-red colour reveals an intense bouquet combining fruit and animal notes. The perfectly structured palate offers delicious fruity aromas, gently leading to an indulgent and persistent finish.
