2020 Georges Noellat, Bourgogne, Rouge

The Bourgogne is produced from vines of about 60 years old on average. Grapes come mainly from the Vosne area, particularly the deep clay soils of the Champs d’Argent lieu-dit and cooler rocky limestone of Combe de la Perriere in Nuits St- Georges. The grapes are tended ‘lutée raisonée,’ with treatments only when necessary. The grapes are 100% destemmed and then fermented on ambient yeast for 18-21 days in stainless steel tanks. The wine undergoes 18 months of aging in oak, 25% of which is new.
