Georges Noellat, Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Les Chaumes 2019

"The 2019 Vosne-Romanée Les Chaumes 1er Cru has a very pure and elegant bouquet, with more mineralité than its peers and lovely focus and harmony. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins. This is beautifully balanced, elegant and suave with a natural "flowing" finish that leaves you yearning for another sip, despite some reduction. This will be difficult to resist in its youth." – Neal Martin

" A notably ripe if brooding nose combines notes of cassis, baked plum and plenty of spice nuances. There is excellent richness to the succulent and velvet textured middle weight flavors that exhibit fine length and slightly better complexity on the balanced, caressing and seductive finale." - Allen Meadows
