2019 Domaine Michel Noellat et Fils Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Nuits Pinot Noir 750ml

This is the northern half of Burgundy's famed Cote D'Or. It is home to perhaps the noblest expression of Pinot Noir on planet Earth, if not the noblest expression of any wine on Earth; the minute yet palpable differences from single parcels of land were intuited by Cistercian monks who farmed the 'golden slope' for approximately two thousand years. From Corgoloin in the south, to Marsannay in the north, the finesse and complexity of the wines is at times both hauntingly beautiful and mind boggling. Its most celebrated villages: Nuits St Georges, Vougeot, Flagey Echezeaux, Vosne Romanee, Chambolle Musigny, Gevrey Chambertin, and Morey St Denis.

Another gem of an asset, from a whopping 1.77 hectare parcel of 70 year old vines, this has greater tension, airiness, and minerality than either the Boudots or Suchots, as is typical of great Beaumonts. This is an absolute no brainer if you love Vosne Romanee.
