FEATURES
🏰 This is a 【rare and prestigious Echezeaux Grand Cru from Georges Noellat】, offering a complex and evolving expression from the mature 2006 vintage. Georges Noellat is a highly respected Burgundy producer known for crafting elegant and terroir-driven wines. The 2006 Burgundy vintage was generally good, producing wines that are now showing maturity and complexity. Echezeaux is one of the most celebrated Grand Crus in the Côte de Nuits.

🥂 A truly special celebration, a vertical tasting of Grand Crus, or a prized investment for a serious Burgundy collector.
BACKGROUND
Domaine Georges Noellat is a Burgundy winery located in Vosne-Romagne, famous for its Pinot Noir wine. Maxime Scheurlin, the 20-year-old grandson of George's wife, took over the estate from George's wife and made his debut with the excellent 2010 vintage. Prior to this, most of the winery's production was sold in bulk to négociant companies. Today, the domaine owns approximately 10 hectares (25 acres) of vineyards, spanning Vonn and neighboring communes, with a further ten hectares acquired through purchase and lease agreements. Of course, the domaine is still best known for its prized assets in Vosne, which include the Echezaux and Grands Echezaux parcels.
