Domaine Charles Noellat
Domaine Charles Noëllat was a vineyard in Vosne-Romanée, established in the early 20th century by Charles Noëllat and his wife Anne-Marie, known as Laure. Its vineyard, which included plots in Romanée-Saint-Vivant, Richebourg and Grands-Échezeaux, was broken up after 1987; the majority of the remaining land was sold to Lalou Bize-Leroy in 1988. Since 2013, a separate Maison Charles Noëllat has been reviving the family name through the selection, ageing and marketing of Burgundy wines, without this constituting a takeover of the historic wine estate.

Histoire du domaine
The Noëllat family has been involved in Burgundian wine-growing since the 17th century and was originally based in Meuilley, near Nuits-Saint-Georges. In the 19th century, Félix Noëllat established the family estate in Vosne-Romanée. His son Charles Noëllat, born in 1868, founded the estate bearing his name in the early 20th century with his wife Anne-Marie, known as Laure. Having been called up during the First World War, Charles left Laure to continue managing and developing the estate. By the 1930s, the estate covered around 25 hectares and included plots in several appellations of the Côte de Nuits, including Romanée-Saint-Vivant. Charles died in 1939; following the death of their son André in 1941, Laure and their daughter Geneviève ensured the estate’s continuity throughout the war. In 1947, Christian Moreau, Geneviève’s husband, joined the business. Their daughter Anne-Marie took over its management in 1976. Following Geneviève’s death in 1987, disputes over the estate led to the vineyard being broken up; the largest remaining portion, reported to be 12 hectares at the time of sale, was acquired by Lalou Bize-Leroy in 1988 and incorporated into Domaine Leroy. The current Maison Charles Noëllat was relaunched in 2013 by Stéphane, a descendant of Charles Noëllat, and Antoine Laurent; it selects Burgundy wines and ages and bottles its ‘Hommage à Bligny-lès-Beaune’ range.
Les Pétaux
Les Pétaux is a registered cadastral climat of the Pouilly-Vinzelles appellation, located in the commune of Vinzelles and officially recognized with the Premier Cru designation. Its surface area published by the BIVB is 2.76 hectares. Across the appellation as a whole, the vineyard occupies an east-facing slope with ferruginous clay-limestone soils resting on Jurassic formations from the Bathonian and Bajocian; however, these characteristics are not documented separately for the Les Pétaux climat alone.

Histoire de la parcelle
Les Pétaux was already among the cadastral lieux-dits claimed under the appellation name. Following an initiative launched by the ODG in 2006, based notably on geological, pedological, historical, and reputation studies, the climat was recognized as a Premier Cru through the product specification approved by the decree of November 18, 2024, published on November 20, 2024.
