Description
Like most Burgundy wine estates, Domaine Noëllat is a family business. After Félix Noëllat, its founder in the 19th century, five generations have succeeded one another at the head of the estate, which covers twenty hectares. The Noëllat family is distinguished by a strong entrepreneurial spirit, characterised by the desire to always move forward by investing in order to adapt to new technologies, while remaining attached to a philosophy that respects traditions passed down from generation to generation. In 1980, Michel Noëllat had an authentic stone vaulted cellar dug under the estate and in 2007, the estate acquired an ultra-modern vat room equipped with forty thermo-regulated stainless steel vats and a cellar dedicated to tastings. Since 2012, Sébastien Noëllat has been in charge of the viticulture and winemaking, while his niece Sophie manages the commercial side.
After careful consideration, Sébastien and Sophie consult with each harvest to make the best strategic decisions dictated by the vagaries of the weather and the nature of the grapes. A meticulous work of great precision is carried out so that each vintage remains true to the spirit of Domaine Noëllat. The grapes are harvested and sorted by hand, then carefully transported in small containers to the vat room to avoid crushing the berries. After destemming, the red grapes macerate for three days at a low temperature, then ferment in closed vats. Regular pumping over takes place and the cap is pressed four to five times during vinification. The wines are matured in French oak barrels with 30 to 50% new barrels. Bottling takes place after 15 to 18 months of maturation. For the white wines, the must is cold-settled. The juice then completes its fermentation in stainless steel vats or in oak barrels for the largest appellations.
2020 is one of the most special years of Burgundy, a very unique year. First of all, it is a reality in the circumstances and a relative context that applies to them. Andsuite, it is a brand that has earned a historical prize, after the débourrement has only been sold. In short, the result is, for the nombreux vineyards, absolutely exceptional and remarkably classic!
The grapes for Vosne-Romanee Les Beaux Monts come from 11.38 ha with a south-eastern exposure and between 270 and 310 m altitude. The soil is rich in pebbles that ensure good drainage of the soil. The name of the terroir already appears on a map drawn in the 16th century under the name BeauxMonts "The Beautiful Mountains". The name comes from the exposure and the location on the hill. Manual harvest, 100% destemming and the first phase of cold pre-fermentation for 3 to 5 days. Then fermentation in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats for 18 to 20 days. Maturation for 14 months in 50% new barrels.
