The Noëllat family has been involved in viticulture for generations, cultivating a deep understanding of their vineyards and the unique terroirs of the region. Over the years, the domaine has expanded its holdings to include prestigious plots in appellations such as Chambolle-Musigny, Nuits-Saint-Georges, and Echezeaux. Today, Domaine Michel Noëllat is recognized for producing wines that embody the elegance and complexity characteristic of Burgundy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Winemaker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe estate is currently managed by siblings Sophie and Sébastien Noëllat, who represent the fifth generation of the family.

Domaine Michel Noëllat’s holdings in this area benefit from a continental climate, characterized by cold winters and warm summers, which is ideal for Pinot Noir cultivation. The vineyards are planted on well-drained limestone and clay soils, contributing to the finesse and minerality of the wines. The specific microclimate of Chambolle-Musigny, with its gentle slopes and optimal sun exposure, allows for the production of wines with notable elegance and aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape Varietals \u0026amp; Percentage Used\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe 2021 Chambolle-Musigny is crafted from 100% Pinot Noir grapes, the emblematic red varietal of Burgundy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eIn 2021, Domaine Michel Noëllat employed traditional vinification techniques to highlight the purity of the Pinot Noir fruit. The grapes were hand-harvested from old vines aged between 70 to 80 years, ensuring low yields of concentrated fruit. After a cold pre-fermentation maceration lasting three to five days to enhance aromatic expression, fermentation proceeded with indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled vats. The wine was then aged in French oak barrels, with 30% new oak sourced from coopers François Frères and Cavin, for approximately 12 to 15 months. This careful aging process aimed to integrate the oak influence while preserving the wine’s inherent elegance and freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eABV (Alcohol by Volume)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe 2021 vintage has an alcohol content of approximately 13% ABV, typical for red Burgundies of this appellation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe 2021 Chambolle-Musigny from Domaine Michel Noëllat presents a classic, fine profile with good acidity and mineral notes. The influence of 30% new oak from two coopers (François Frères and Cavin) provides a nice balance, thanks to the Cavin restraint and the acidity of the 2021 vintage. Old vines (70-80 years) contribute good tension, depth, and liveliness to the wine.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFood \u0026amp; Wine Pairing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThis elegant Chambolle-Musigny pairs beautifully with dishes such as roasted poultry, especially duck or quail, as well as game birds.
