Vosne Romanée Les Chaumes, Domaine Georges Noellat 2018

Tasting Notes

Opening in the glass with aromas of cherries, sweet berry fruit, warm spices, burning embers and espresso roast, the 2018 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Chaumes is medium to full-bodied, velvety and lively, with a deep core of fruit and ample reserves of powdery tannin that makes its presence felt on the finish. This is one cuvée where the evolution in Maxime Cheurlin's winemaking style is especially evident, as what was formerly a very approachable wine has become rather serious.

Like the straight Vosne, there is enough reduction present to overshadow the fruit but not the pretty spice elements. The round, caressing and more refined middle weight flavors retain a lovely sense of vibrancy that carries over to the well-detailed, delicious and lingering finish that is firm enough to suggest that a decade or more will be necessary to see this at its best.
