Domaine Georges Noellat
About Domaine Georges Noellat
Only in his early 20s, Maxime Cheurlin was marked for stardom from his very first vintage in 2010 and has achieved considerable success already. Taking over the Domaine from his grandmother, situated next door to Sylvain Cathiard, the wunderkind produces complex and delicate wines.
Maxime is the nephew of the Jayer family and a cousin of Guillaume Rouget (son of Emmanuel Rouget) who trained with legendary Henri Jayer. Maxime worked at Rouget in 2009 and Gros Frere & Soeur in Vosne Romanee in 2008. Maxime’s style is modelled somewhat after Rouget’s, with a focus on clarity and a pronounced influence of new oak.
Viniculture
De-stemming completely the grapes (except for 20% for the Echezeaux), he intends to give the wines an outstanding purity. His wines are elegant yet exhibit good power and poise with a good progression of quality and style from the villages-level up to the Grands Crus. The character of the vintage comes through as well with the wines tasting surprising forward from the barrel. These will age well in cellar but also pleasantly enjoyable at every stage in their development.

Wine Advocate (93)Cheurlin's 2017 Echezeaux Grand Cru is showing beautifully from bottle, bursting with aromas of cherries, cassis, rose petals, spices and orange rind, deftly framed by classy new oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, broad and succulent, built around powdery tannins and a fragrant core of ripe but lively fruit. |

Vinous (91-93)The 2018 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a ripe bouquet with floral scents of iris and violet infusing the precocious black cherry and blueberry fruit. This is a modern take on this grand cru. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannins and a little confit-like in style. Displays commendable tension, although it needs lacks complexity and terroir expression on the finish compared to its peers. |

Vinous (93-95)The 2019 Echézeaux Grand Cru, which comes from vines with an average age of 80 years in the Les Creots lieu-dit, has a wonderfully detailed bouquet of precise black cherries, raspberry and wild strawberry fruit laced with minerals. The palate brims over with energy. Very focused and structured, with a black-pepper-tinged, slightly savory finish that lingers in the mouth. The 100% new oak is neatly assimilated here, although it will need 4–5 years in bottle. |

Vinous (91-93)The 2020 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a generous bouquet with red cherries, strawberry and light rose petal scents, maybe not quite as well defined as the Petits Monts. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine acidity, good structure with a solid, slightly sinewy finish. Fine, but robust and a little outclassed by some of the Chuerlin's other cuvées this year. Maybe it has something up its sleeve? |
