Maxime CHEURLIN-NOËLLAT (Vosne-Romanée) -- 2015 Tasted from Bottle

(Originally published 23 December 2017.)

These are negociant wines made by Maxime Cheurlin of Domaine Georges Noëllat. They are two impressive wines worth your attention, should you come across them.

2015 Gevrey-Chambertin   En Champs
Located downslope from the premier cru Champeaux vineyard, En Champs is capable of great things, as this wine shows. This wine is pure and racy with red and dark fruits, good length, a smooth texture, freshness, and depth. 93/A+

2015 Nuits-Saint-Georges    1er Cru   Aux Cras
From one of the finest vineyards in Nuits, the Cras is smooth and velvety with ripe dark fruits, but there is still freshness here. This is a wine one can enjoy already.  94/A
