2021 Domaine Georges Noellat Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Les Petits Monts Magnum
France / Burgundy / Cote de Nuits / Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru Rouge Magnum
Domaine Georges Noëllat Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Petits Monts in 1.5-liter Magnum bottle.
Les Petits Monts lies above Les Richebourgs and is one of the highest situated vineyards in Vosne. This elevation brings a pleasant coolness to the wines, further accentuated by the vineyard's east-facing position. The soil consists of marl resting atop a limestone bedrock. Freshness and minerality define the wines, and the 2021 vintage from George Noëllat is exceptionally focused. Red berries dominate the bouquet, with raspberry and cherry being the most prominent. Subtle hints of violet and tobacco begin to make their presence known. The taste is velvety, with well-integrated tannins and great complexity. The aromas are echoed on the palate, with a gentle, pleasant lift from the oak, culminating in a lingering finish where the earthiness blends seamlessly with the minerality, fading elegantly into the final notes.
