The score for 2020 Maxime Cheurlin Noellat Chambolle Musigny Les Feusselottes is from Robert Parker and the tasting note - I first visited Maxim Cheurlin at Domaine Georges Noëllat as a graduate student. In those early days, Maxime's wines were supple and immediate, undergoing a comparatively rapid malolactic fermentation in the warm, only partially subterranean cellars located beneath his residence. Demonstratively delicious during élevage, they were head-turning and accessible. But then, in 2015, he installed air-conditioning, and everything changed. Cheurlin now delays malolactic fermentation for the better part of a year, chilling his cellars, and the wines evolve much more slowly - he only finished bottling his 2018s in July. Given the cellar's new rhythm, I asked that we taste bottled 2018s rather than 2019s that had only just finished malolactic fermentation, and that's how I'll be covering this producer in the future. The new style chez Cheurlin is decidedly more serious and reserved, more saturated in color and more tightly wound, and these 2018s were very promising. It will be fascinating to track their evolution with bottle age.
