2021 Maxime Cheurlin Noëllat Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Rouge

Maxime has earned a reputation for his elegant, lacy style of Pinot Noir that speak of their incredible terroir. All the grapes are hand-harvested, and cool macerated for a few days before fermentation begins (indigenous yeast only). During vinification, Maxime prefers the term “infusion” to extraction, so punch downs are rare and gentle, and aging lasts 14 to 20 months, with the wines bottled unfined and unfiltered. Today, Maxime is a bonafide star in the Côte de Nuits, with a staggering array of some of the greatest terroirs in all of Burgundy, that are treated with the care and attention that allows them to deliciously express every bit of their enormous potential.

Maxime Cheurlin Noëllat's Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Rouge is from a parcel in the lieu-dit, 'Le Champ des Allouettes'. It is located in the Leully area above Nuits-St.-Georges, limestone terroir. Using 10% whole-cluster, aged in a barrel which is 33% new oak.
