Georges Noellat, Vosne Romanee Petits Monts

Georges Noellat, Vosne Romanee Petits Monts(from a . 23 ha parcel). This too is softly spicy with its elegant and distinctly cool array of plum, violet, rose petal and Asian style tea wisps. There is once again excellent energy and intensity to the almost pungently mineral driven middle weight flavors that are at once classy yet muscular and on the balanced, focused and saline finish. This too is going to require at least some patience before it will be reasonably approachable. (91 94) 2029+

I tasted the 2007s at the winery in November 2009 and then again in New York in January 2010

This is a vintage where managing the crop load was critical in achieving balance

There is just enough reduction to mask the underlying fruit but not the floral and spice nuances

Fermentation and malolactic fermentation take place in steel

juicy plums and Black Forest cake with hints of tilled soil

soft textures and overall amplitude

silky and salty-piquant Haut-Lieu is beautiful in its terroir expression that favors a fruitier
