Friday, January 19, 2024 - Tasting the 2022s from George Nöellat. Maxime uses mostly new barrels. Total estate vineyards of 6ha plus negociant business. The vineyards appear to be in great spots. The handwriting of Maxim was notable in most wines which includes an emphasis on ripe fruit and distinctly smoky feature. The palates tended to be balanced with clear structures. Clear favorites were Grands Echezeaux and Echezeaux. But I also found most of the 1er Cru’s to perform at consistently high levels (esp. Les Petits Monts, Aux Boudots, Les Beaux Monts.

Tasting note:
More intense than the Village. Cherry fruit, chalky minerality, dried earth and tobacco or smoke. The palate nicely mirrors the intensity of the nose, shows tension and concentration. A round wine likely offering an early drinking window.
