Domaine Michel Noëllat, founded in the 19th century, is located in the heart of Vosne-Romanée. Owned by the Noëllat family for five generations, it is currently managed by two brothers, Alain and Jean-Marc, since their father Michel’s death in 1989. Their vineyards include 27 hectares spread over 23 different appellations, from Marsannay-la-Côte (Côte de Nuits) to Pommard (Côte de Beaune), in particular with two grand crus and eight premier crus. They produce remarkable wines and maintain fairly reasonable prices.

?Nestled in the heart of Chambolle-Musigny and covering almost three hectares facing south-east at 260 metres altitude, the Les Noirots climat rests on a rocky clay-limestone soil. The bunches are hand-picked and entirely destalked. Vinification follows a traditional approach, with fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats over several days, followed by 12 months’ ageing in oak casks, with about 30% new wood.
In the glass, the wine reveals an intense, brilliant garnet-ruby colour, signalling a fine concentration. The refined bouquet combines juicy black fruits with sweet spices, wild herbs and delicate floral notes such as violet. On the palate, the attack is elegant and silky, supported by fine tannins and a perfectly integrated saline acidity. The long, delicate and refined finish faithfully reflects the intensity and subtlety of the Chambolle-Musigny terroir.
