Producer Information
Domaine Michel Noëllat is a wine estate based in the village of Vosne-Romanée, in the Côte de Nuits subregion of Burgundy, although the 27-hectare (67-acre) domaine spans both the Côte de Nuits to the Côte de Beaune. The domaine’s grand cru climats are predominantly in the Côte de Nuits, covering the Clos de Vougeot, Echezeaux and Chapelle-Chambertin sites. The same is true of the Premier Cru vineyard holdings, which span Nuits-Saint-Georges, Morey-Saint-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanée and Savigny-lès-Beaune further south. The Noëllat family has held a significant winemaking presence in the Côte de Nuits region of Burgundy (and in Vosne in particular) for generations and, in 2012, the sixth generation of the Noëllat family, Sophie and Sébastien, joined the family business. Pinot Noir is the most prevalent grape variety cultivated in the 23 appellations farmed. The grapes are hand-picked, completely destemmed and transferred to thermoregulated stainless steel tanks, before aging in French oak barrels. The proportion of new oak used varies depending on the level of the wine – 30 percent for village-level and 50 percent for the grand and premier crus. Bottling takes place after 15 to 18 months élevage (aging) in barrel. The Chardonnay grapes are also harvested by hand, then pressed and the juice allowed to settle under cool temperature conditions. Fermentation then takes place in either stainless steel vats or oak barrels depending on the quality level.
