Domaine Georges Noëllat Les Tuvilains Beaune 2019

Domaine Georges Noëllat Les Tuvilains Beaune 2019 is a refined red Burgundy that captures the charm and silkiness of Pinot Noir from one of Beaune’s classic lieux-dits. This is a medium-bodied, beautifully poised wine that focuses on purity, elegance and finesse rather than sheer power. Crafted in small quantities by one of the rising names of the Côte de Beaune/Côte de Nuits, it offers a polished, modern expression firmly rooted in Burgundian tradition.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Beaune 2019 shows a vibrant ruby to garnet hue, with a clear, limpid brightness that hints at its finesse. The nose opens with red cherries, wild strawberries and raspberries, supported by notes of rose petals, subtle forest floor, and a touch of sweet spice and fine oak. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine, silky tannins and a well-judged, refreshing acidity that gives the wine lift and precision. The fruit profile is charming and pure, with crunchy red berries, hints of cranberry, a touch of pomegranate and delicate earthy, savory nuances in the background. Everything is in harmonious balance, leading to a long, silk-smooth finish that is both graceful and satisfying. Enjoyable now for its charm, it also has the structure to evolve positively over the next 6–8 years, gaining complexity and a more pronounced, tertiary Burgundian character.

Production
Les Tuvilains is a well-regarded site in Beaune, rooted in classic Burgundian terroir: limestone-rich soils over clay, with good drainage and a favorable exposition that encourages even ripening of Pinot Noir. Vines here benefit from the temperate continental climate of the Côte d’Or, producing grapes with naturally balanced sugar and acidity. Harvesting is typically carried out by hand to ensure meticulous selection of only the best clusters. In the cellar, traditional Burgundian methods prevail: gentle destemming (often with a portion of whole clusters depending on the vintage style desired), a cold maceration to extract aroma and color delicately, followed by fermentation in open vats with careful, light extraction through pumping over or punching down. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels, a portion of which are new, to add subtle structure and spice without overwhelming the clarity of the fruit or the expression of the Beaune terroir.

Food & Serving
This Beaune 2019 is a versatile partner at the table, pairing beautifully with roast chicken, duck breast, pork tenderloin, veal, and dishes featuring mushrooms or truffles. It also complements lighter game birds, charcuterie, and semi-soft cheeses such as Comté or Brie de Meaux. Serve at around 14–16°C (57–61°F) to highlight its aromatic finesse and silkiness. A gentle decant of 30–45 minutes can help the wine open up, especially in its youth, allowing the floral and red-fruited nuances to fully express themselves.
