FEATURES
The 2018 Michel Noellat Nuits-Saint-Georges is a classic expression from this renowned Côte de Nuits appellation in Burgundy. This powerful and refined red wine, crafted predominantly from Pinot Noir, showcases a distinctive aromatic signature. The vineyard management, handled by Sébastien and Sophie Noëllat since 2012, emphasizes sustainable practices and meticulous aging for about 18 months in oak barrels, ensuring a blend of bright fruit and silky textures.
In its youth, expect a sustained purplish-red color with an expressive nose of ripe black fruits like blackberry and blackcurrant, complemented by gentle spice, smoked tea, and earthy undertones. Notes of cherry, strawberry, and blackcurrant are also prominent. On the palate, it's broad and velvety, with well-integrated tannins, a silky texture, and a long finish marked by mineral freshness. As it ages, it promises to develop greater complexity, evolving towards spicy, leather, and game notes.
🍴 This full-bodied Burgundy red pairs wonderfully with rich dishes such as traditional lasagne alla bolognese, creamy mushroom risotto, or a truffle and Parma ham pizza. It's also an excellent match for grilled or roasted pork, lamb, beef, poultry, and game birds like duck or goose. For cheeses, consider soft-centered varieties like Camembert or Brie.
🥂 Perfect for a sophisticated dinner party or a celebratory meal, this wine is best enjoyed after several years of cellaring to allow its full potential to unfold. Serve at 15-16°C.
