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: This appeared pretty closed. Mineral notes of smoke, cherry fruit and decently fresh palate.
