Visit Domaine Georges Noëllat – tasting of the 2017s from Cask

By -

Domaine Georges Noëllat is one of my favourite estates these days – and it seems like Maxime Cheurlin is improving year after year. Wines are getting more detailed and the integration of the oak has improved over the years and is now seamless.

The 2017s at Domaine Georges Noëllat is showing very well, as with other estates – good intensity but also with a fine likeable lightness often found in the 2017 vintage. A delightful vintage in my view, lighter and more vivid than the more dense and intense 2015s and 2016s.

Changing vinification

Maxime Cheurlin has changed the vinification somewhat over that latest years, as the cellars have been cooled down, hence the vinification now is slower – and especially the malolactic fermentation is now much slower – and it’s not unusual to see the malo finish after summer or even fall.

This seem to have added to the precision and definition of the wines … this is very interesting to follow.
