🏰 The 2020 Georges Noellat Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts 1er Cru is a highly anticipated red Burgundy, crafted from 100+ year old Pinot Noir vines in a stony limestone terroir above Echézeaux and Suchots. The 2020 vintage in Burgundy was noted for its early harvest and excellent quality, with Maxime Cheurlin of Domaine Georges Noellat producing wines of remarkable delicacy and finesse, emphasizing purity of fruit and refinement. This particular wine reveals a distinctly marine-driven bouquet with shucked oyster shells permeating black cherry and cranberry fruit, becoming floral in style after some swirling. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins, poise, and abundant minerality, offering sapid red berry fruit and fine acidity. It's taut and fresh with edgy tannins, showcasing energy and backbone in tandem with elegance. Jasper Morris rated it 93-96 points, and Vinous gave it 92-94 points, noting its impressive craftsmanship. 🍴 This elegant Vosne-Romanée would be an excellent pairing for classic Burgundian dishes such as coq au vin, roasted duck, or delicate game birds. Its finesse also makes it suitable for fine cheeses. 🥂 Ideal for a sophisticated dinner party, a special celebration, or a serious wine tasting among connoisseurs. Its aging potential suggests it will evolve beautifully over many years. 【 Impressively crafted 1er Cru from 100+ year old vines 】
