2024 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Petits Monts, Domaine Georges Noëllat

This is a perennial favourite from Maxime’s range always showing wonderful lift and aromatic precision. Sandwiched between Cros Parantoux and Aux Reignots and sitting atop Richebourg, this is a joy to behold. Not surprisingly, the ’24 is full of life and energy, but there is deceptive depth lurking underneath. The tannins are incredibly fine and there seems to be plenty of tension and linearity. Its poise and purpose are tangible and there is such a drawn-out finish that the palate is left wanting more. A wine of real sapidity and vibrancy, as well as matter. Another wine with 93-95 pts from Jasper.
