Tasting notes
Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The nose on Nöellat’s 2011 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Petits Monts seems to be slightly more forward than other wines in its peer group, with touches of marmalade infusing the red cherry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly tough tannins, here more backward with a strong saline, rather reserved finish. It needs to gain more harmony in bottle, but at least it does seem to coalesce in the glass.

Pale ruby. Very fresh and lively. Sweet start. I suddenly had a flash of Pyramid Valley Pinot in Canterbury! Outside the Burgundy norms this but it knows what it's doing. Very delicate. (JR)
