Beaune 1er Cru les Tuvilains 2019
This wine offers a radiant and poised expression of Beaune 1er Cru in its youthful state, shimmering with red cherry and wild strawberry notes that underscore its Burgundian pedigree, framed by fine-grained tannins and subtle oak presence. Elegant and precise in build this vintage captures a refreshing vivacity alongside layered fruit depth derived from its modest yields. It finishes with a delicate yet lingering clarity that speaks of both immediate appeal and graceful ageing potential.

Maxime Cheurlin was just 20 years old when he took over this domaine in 2010. Seven years on, the promise he showed at that tender age has been more than fulfilled. Maxime can claim a rather impressive heritage. The domaine’s namesake, Georges Noëllat, was the nephew of Charles Noëllat, who once held one of the greatest domaines in Vosne-Romanée. Sadly, this property was broken up, with parts going into today’s JJ Confuron, Hudelot Noëllat and, notably the heart of Domaine Leroy in a famed 1988 sale. The Georges Noëllat section was sold to Jadot and Drouhin for 20 years starting in 1990. When that contract ended, Maxime took over from his grandmother in 2010. Luckily he had the pedigree, as he’s a relative of both the Jayer and Rouget families, which are about as noble in Vosne as anything not named de Villaine
