Vosne Romanée Les Chaumes, Domaine Georges Noellat 2016

Tasting Notes

An overtly spicy nose of poached plum, violets and sandalwood leads to rich, caressing and sappy medium weight flavors that possess a seductive mouthfeel thanks to the copious dry extract that imparts a velvety texture to the dusty and balanced finish that firms up just enough to suggest that this should improve over the next 6 to 8 years.

The 2016 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Chaumes, which includes around 20% to 25% whole bunch fruit, has a very elegant, restrained bouquet that just lets the blackberry and raspberry fruit flow from the glass, the oak neatly integrated and not imposing. The palate is medium-bodied with a saline entry. Again, I appreciate the purity of fruit, the finesse and the charm of this Vosne-Romanée. There is plenty of crunchy red berry fruit on the finish and a pinch of spice. Super bon, as they say in France.
