Domaine Maxime Cheurlin Noëllat Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Rouge 2023

Domaine Georges Noëllat Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Rouge 2023 offers a refined, authentic taste of Burgundy from one of the region’s most sought-after producers. Sourced from higher-altitude vineyards west of the Côte de Nuits, this cuvée delivers purity, energy and typicity at a more accessible price than the domaine’s prestigious village and cru bottlings. It’s an ideal bottle for those who want to experience the finesse of top Burgundy in a youthful, vibrant expression.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2023 Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Rouge shows a bright, translucent ruby hue, hinting at its elegance and freshness. The nose opens with lifted red fruit—wild strawberry, raspberry and red cherry—wrapped in delicate floral notes of rose and peony, with subtle touches of crushed herbs, chalk and a faint whiff of spice. On the palate, this is lithe and precise, with juicy red berry fruit framed by fine, chalky tannins and a refreshing line of acidity that reflects the cooler, higher-altitude sites of the Hautes-Côtes. Expect a graceful, medium-bodied wine with good tension, a mineral edge, and a long, mouthwatering finish that leaves notes of red currant and gentle spice. While already approachable in its youth for its brightness and charm, it will gain complexity and polish over the next 3–6 years of bottle aging.

Production
This wine comes from the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits, a cooler, elevated area lying just behind the famed slopes of the Côte de Nuits in Burgundy. The vineyards benefit from limestone-rich soils with clay and marl, lending both aromatic lift and a mineral backbone to the wine, while the higher altitude preserves acidity and freshness in a warm year like 2023. Grapes are typically harvested by hand to ensure careful selection of perfectly ripe, healthy fruit. In the cellar, Domaine Georges Noëllat is known for a meticulous, quality-driven approach: gentle extraction to preserve finesse, fermentation in temperature-controlled vats, and aging in French oak barrels (often with a restrained proportion of new oak) to add subtle structure and complexity without overwhelming the purity of the fruit.

Food & Serving
This Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Rouge is a versatile food wine, pairing beautifully with roast chicken, guinea fowl, pork tenderloin, charcuterie, mushroom dishes, and lighter preparations of lamb or duck. It also works wonderfully with earthy vegetarian plates like lentil stews, beetroot salads, and mushroom risotto, as well as soft to semi-soft cheeses such as brie, reblochon or tomme. Serve at 14–16°C to highlight its freshness and aromatic detail. A brief decant of 20–30 minutes can help the young 2023 vintage open up and reveal additional layers of fruit and spice, especially in its first few years.

Producer
Domaine Georges Noëllat is a highly regarded estate in Burgundy, based in Vosne-Romanée in the heart of the Côte de Nuits. Historically, the domaine’s grapes were sold to top négociants such as Domaine Leroy, which speaks volumes about the quality of its terroirs. Under the current generation, the domaine has shifted to bottling more of its own production and has quickly risen to prominence among Burgundy enthusiasts for its refined, terroir-driven wines. With holdings in some of the region’s most coveted villages and crus, Domaine Georges Noëllat is now seen as one of the standout addresses in the Côte de Nuits, crafting wines that combine purity, elegance and a clear sense of place—even in their more modest appellations like Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits.
