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 (92)Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Nuits St Georges 1er Cru les Boudots from young Maxime Chuerlin is slightly deeper in colour than its peers. It has an intense dark cherry, blueberry and cassis-scented nose that is relatively modern in style, well crafted and detailed. The palate is medium-bodied with sweet ripe tannin, well-judged acidity, sensual in style, more voluminous and richer than Méo-Camuzet's Aux Murgers 2012, but retaining impressive delineation and terroir expression. This is an excellent contribution to the vintage. |

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 (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? |

Wine Advocate (95)Cropped at a mere ten hectoliters per hectare thanks to devastating spring frosts, the 2016 Grands Echezeaux Grand Cru is one of the finest wines Maxim Cheurlin has produced to date. Unfurling in the glass with complex aromas of cherries, cassis, dark chocolate, grilled venison, loamy soil and black truffle, it's full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, with searing levels of concentration, rich structuring tannins and bright acids, concluding with a long and expansive finish. |

Vinous (93-95)The 2017 Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru has a very pure, intense bouquet of dark cherries, blackberry, crushed stone and violet aromas, actually more understated but more sophisticated than the Echézeaux. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannin, a fine bead of acidity, sorbet-fresh black fruit and a vivacious, tensile finish. This is a superb Grands-Echézeaux from winemaker Maxime Cheurlin. |

Vinous (96-98)For the first time, Maxime Chuerlin decided to use stems in his crown jewel, the 2019 Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru, settling on 25% whole bunch for this year. This was an astute decision, because it lends freshness and more complexity to the bouquet of blackberry, undergrowth, tobacco and crushed limestone aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, hints of peppermint behind the black fruit and touches of white pepper and sage toward a finish that fans out wonderfully. A slam-dunk for Maxime Churlin. Five barrels produced, matured entirely in new oak. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (96-98)The wine is poured and displays a spectacularly dense imperial purple. The first nose suggests inky depths in a good way, there is so much more to come. And here it does come on the palate, a veritable wealth of noble dark fruit with a lifted finish, excellent acidity and more tannins than many of the wines. The volume of fruit deserves this structure, as it does the epithet Grands. Tasted: November 2021 |

Wine Advocate (93)The 2016 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts is showing well from bottle, unwinding in the glass to offer up a youthfully reserved bouquet of blackberries, cherries, plums, grilled game bird, rich soil and smoky new oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, rich and voluptuous, with a succulent core of fruit, vibrant fruit flavors and a fine-grained framing of structuring tannins. It's appreciably more reserved than earlier renditions of this cuvée, perhaps because Maxime Cheurlin now has an air-conditioned cellar and is maturing his wine for two winters in barrel. It will be interesting to follow its evolution over the coming decade. |

Vinous (95-97)The 2020 Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts 1er Cru has a distinctly marine-driven bouquet with shucked oyster shells permeating the black cherry and cranberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins, poise and mineralité in abundance. Maxime Chuerlin rates this above his Echézeaux. I am not going to argue. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2021 Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts 1er Cru offers red plum, dark chocolate and light orange blossom scents on the nose, maybe just missing a little definition compared to other cuvées at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, touches of graphite and black pepper, cohesive but missing just a touch of complexity on the finish. Give it a four or five years in bottle. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Les Petit Monts 1er Cru is fully de-stemmed and matured in 75% new oak. It has a very pure, floral bouquet of black cherries, cassis and crushed violet scents on the nose, becoming more and more floral with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins, sorbet-fresh from the start and culminating in an intense, almost vitamin-like finish. Excellent. |

Vinous (94-96)The 2020 Vosne-Romanée Les Petit Monts 1er Cru has a vibrant nose despite just a touch of red cherry and cranberry fruit, a subtle earthiness that unfolds with each swirl of the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit laced with dessicated orange peel, gentle grip with a welcome touch of sour cherry lending tension on the finish. This is a serious Les Petits Monts. |

Burghound (89-92)There is just enough reduction present to push the underlying fruit to the background but not so much as to mask the pretty spice wisps. There is an equally seductive mouthfeel to the velvet-textured flavors that possess even better depth on the firm, palate coating and impressively persistent finish. This is an excellent Vosne villages that is worth your interest. |
