FEATURES
🏰【A classic, mature Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru from a vineyard often likened to Vosne-Romanee, offering subtle complexity at its peak】, the 1990 Georges Noellat Nuits St Georges Les Boudots 1er Cru is a testament to the longevity of fine Burgundy. Les Boudots, a Premier Cru climat bordering Vosne-Romanee, is known for producing wines that share the elegance of its neighbor, thanks to its favorable sunlight exposure and fragmented gravelly, limestone-rich soils. This 1990 vintage, now drinking quite at its peak, reveals a subtle and complex bouquet of wet stone, metal, sous bois, orange peel, dark berries, and cherries, with a spicy undertone. The palate is supported by fine, firm tannins and lovely acidity, showcasing ripe dark cherries, plums, and hawthorne fruit, culminating in a finish with orange peel and spice accents.
🍴 This mature Pinot Noir is an exquisite pairing for roasted duck, goose, or other game birds. It would also complement dishes featuring mushrooms or truffles beautifully.
🥂 Enjoy this wine now to appreciate its peak maturity. It's perfect for a special occasion or an intimate dinner where a classic, aged Burgundy will be the star. A truly enjoyable and complex wine.
BACKGROUND
Domaine Georges Noellat is a Burgundy winery located in Vosne-Romagne, famous for its Pinot Noir wine. Maxime Scheurlin, the 20-year-old grandson of George's wife, took over the estate from George's wife and made his debut with the excellent 2010 vintage. Prior to this, most of the winery's production was sold in bulk to négociant companies. Today, the domaine owns approximately 10 hectares (25 acres) of vineyards, spanning Vonn and neighboring communes, with a further ten hectares acquired through purchase and lease agreements. Of course, the domaine is still best known for its prized assets in Vosne, which include the Echezaux and Grands Echezaux parcels.
