2020 Maxime Cheurlin Noellat Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru

This commanding Grand Cru Pinot Noir from the historic Clos de Vougeot reflects the precision and purity that define Maxime Cheurlin Noëllat’s winemaking. Deep ruby in color, it opens with an intense and layered bouquet of black cherry, wild raspberry, and red currant, supported by notes of rose petal, sous bois, and a delicate touch of spice and crushed limestone.

The palate is powerful yet poised, delivering concentrated red and dark fruit wrapped in firm, finely knit tannins. A vibrant acidity drives the wine’s structure, lending freshness to its richness and framing the depth of its fruit. Hints of clove, tea leaf, and subtle oak emerge on the long, persistent finish, echoing the site’s storied complexity and gravitas.
