Domaine Michel Noëllat & Fils one of the legendary names of Vosne Romanne sits just away from the Mairie of Vosne-Romanée in Rue de la Fontaine, its close neighbor is Domaine Leroy. Hardly the most famous name in the village, yet this Domaine extends to 27 hectares, covering some of the most sought after vines in all of Burgundy. Yet these wines purposely fly under the radar as they remain relatively unknown outside of France, mainly because only about 10% of the domaine’s production is exported and 5% to the USA.

Nuits-Saint-Georges is a likeable and lively town with a centuries-old history of winemaking. It gives its name to the Côte de Nuits, and its patron saint, Saint Georges, gives his name to their most famous wine. Its AOC, which dates from September 1936, includes the commune of Premeaux-Prissey in the appellation. Most of the wines grown here are Pinot Noir, but there are some plots planted with Chardonnay. The Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin, Bourgogne’s most famous wine-brotherhood, was founded here in 1934.

The soils in the northern sector derive from pebbly alluvium washed down from up-slope, or, in the low-lying parts, silty deposits from the river Meuzin. In the southern sector the alluvia at the base of the slope originate in the combe of Vallerots where there are deep marly-limestone soils, while at the top of the slope, the rock is almost at the surface. Exposures are mostly to the East or South-East.
