From Aux Genaivrières, the 2022 from Domaine Michel Noellat et Fils opens with poise and quiet charm. Red cherry and wild strawberry lead, followed by a whisper of rose petal, gentle spice, and that unmistakable Vosne silkiness that seems to glide rather than step. It feels fragrant without being showy, expressive without leaning in too close. On the palate, the texture is the hook. Velvety, finely layered, and beautifully balanced, with fruit that feels pure and lifted, carried by subtle tannins and a soft mineral line underneath. There is depth here, but it unfolds slowly, rewarding patience rather than demanding attention. This is a wine for unhurried moments. One that pairs just as well with a thoughtful meal as it does with a quiet evening and a single, well-chosen glass. Elegant, composed, and gently captivating, it captures Vosne-Romanée in a reflective mood, all finesse, all feeling, nothing forced.
