Producer Information
Charles Noëllat is a current négociant brand (and former, highly sought-after wine producer) in the Côte de Nuits subregion of Burgundy. The Domaine Charles Noëllat, originally based in Vosne-Romanée, was purchased by Lalou Bize-Leroy in 1988 and became Domaine Leroy. The family has kept the rights to the name and today, Charles Noëllat operates as a négociant brand (ostensibly produced in Bligny-lès-Beaune, a village just south of Beaune – likely out of the Cellier des Ursulines). The few remaining, original, wines of Domaine Charles Noëllat are highly sought-after and very rare. The Noëllat family have a long wine producing history in Vosne-Romanée, initiated by brothers Charles and Ernest in the early 20th Century. Both Charles’ and Ernest’s descendents are vignerons with Domaine Georges Noëllat and Domaine Michel Noëllat et Fils respectively. Holdings of Domaine Leroy include plots in several grand cru sites in the Côte de Nuits, as well as in Corton, plots in eight premier cru vineyards, and vineyards that fall under both village and regional appellations.
