December 31, 2023 - Wow wow! Gave it 3 hours of air and this began to flourish hard. A peacock of a wine. Tea leaves, dried rose petals, sweet ripe strawberries/cranberries, orange rind, earth, mushroom and touch of smoke. The oak is completely integrated. In the mouth it is medium bodied and rather translucent. Got some candied strawberry flavour, rose water, orange peel and saline chalk. No shortage of that Vosne spices too. This elegant profile is very befitting of the plot.

jnewman77 Does not like this wine:
January 20, 2021 - First bottle from Georges Noellat; I was very unimpressed; the nose seemed overwhelmingly oaky; smoke and vanilla with ripe liqueur like red fruits; overly polished and has no energy or minerality; blind I would probably have guessed Russian River pinot from Cali; left half the bottle to see if the oak tames at all with air...
Day 2 is a bit better; the oak has faded some and the wine shows a little bit of energy and the fruit shows through better. Still not great by any stretch, but at least palatable day 2. I think I'll just hold my other bottle for years and hope it integrates and improves... -

May 5, 2019 - During a tasting/Paulée dinner, so only brief impressions. Musk, whole cluster, smoke, quite something this nose, dense and tannic still a bit in the Dujac style. Impressive material. Give this till 2023 before opening, will be very good I am sure.

November 17, 2016 - Maxime's 2012 Petits Monts was glorious from barrel, and it is beginning to sing just as loudly from bottle. A stunning bouquet of cherry, rose petal, exotic spice and a nicely integrated framing of new oak leads into a silky, expansive and viscerally delicious wine with lovely balance and intensity and a peacock's tail of a finish. I was taken aback by just how well this was showing.
