| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.1 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 30 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Rani on 4/26/2022 & rated 93 points: Tasted blind. Some burnt matches, freshly cut grass, barnyard funk and red fruit on the nose. Easy to identify as a cotes de nuits from a cool vintage. Rather tight on the palate, nice acidity and red fruit, layered and complex. The Nuits St. Georges tannins come through at the end but they are tamed and not intrusive. Excellent finish. (395 views) | | | Tasted by FransS on 11/15/2017 & rated 89 points: Remarkable pure pinot with violets and a good expression in the midtaste, although missing some body; the aftertaste is very refined. (1484 views) | | | Tasted by ccn on 8/19/2015 & rated 75 points: Yuck. Browning-red in color. Nose dominated by all the worst of 2004 -- gout de coccinelle is overwhleming (ladybird taint / pyrazines); green bell pepper. Hard acidic, green bell pepper, green stem flavours dominate flavour. No recovering from here, a disastrous and flawed wine. (3260 views) | | | Tasted by djarcara on 12/26/2013 & rated 88 points: Medium body. Already well bricked in color. Not a ton of fruit. Ready to drink. Nice spiciness, clove, cigar box. I would decant and give an hour to soften up. (4544 views) | | | Tasted by Donc1967 on 12/7/2013 & rated 88 points: Nose has hints of soy sauce and vegetal scents. Broccoli? Not in a bad way. Palate is complex. It includes some of the umami and vegetal flavors but its not the main note. Currant, and cherry mix with the background vegetal flavors (my wife says she wants Chinese food now) (4759 views) | | | Tasted by Rezy13 on 11/8/2013 & rated 92 points: Friday Night Double Blind Tasting $40+ (Bin 75): Translucent crimson core with bricking; acorn, hints at the green quality which I knew was '04 Burg, spice, fresh, red fruit, depth; drinking beautifully, leather, red fruit, the green is gone and the wine was very plush; this was really different from the previous bottle, and I think some '04s are turning a corner. (4825 views) | | | Tasted by Rezy13 on 7/12/2013 & rated 90 points: Browning core with slight orange rim; vegetal, radish, obviously '04, but a great midpalate with good density and sweet red fruit that lingers, taut structure lets you know it is a solid producer. (4034 views) | | | Tasted by wineshlub on 12/13/2012 & rated 91 points: Opened 1 hour in advance. Aromas of mushrooms, currants, a bit of rubber. Clean fruit flavors with some spice. Sweet/sour finish. Lovely and joyous, nice tension between the fruit up front and the acid underneath. Good burgundy at a great price. (2767 views) | | | Tasted by beezer6 on 6/2/2012 & rated 91 points: Saturday Tasting Group (Knightsbridge Wine Shop (Northbrook, IL)): Gorgeous nose. Super aromatic baking spice. Super funky too. Red tar, funk, shrooms, a little wet dog. Nice sweet spice. Beautiful tannins. Caressing and drinking well now. (2441 views) | | | Tasted by french16 on 2/10/2011: Severe but lovely nose. Very earthy, a touch of licorice and coffee/oak with a stemmy/floral touch, this is quite complex. Same profile on the palate which is quite austere but still shows nice cherry and pits notes. Dark red fruits! Tannic grip on the long spicy finish.
Very good and quite NSG in character. (2783 views) | | | Tasted by western on 11/2/2010 & rated 89 points: Slight green/herbal flavours. Otherwise quite drinkable with nice fruit/acid/tannin balance. (3102 views) | | | Tasted by western on 10/12/2010 & rated 85 points: Green herbally character. (2880 views) | | | Tasted by City Wine Journal on 5/11/2010 & rated 80 points: Auction bottle, held 6 months. Nice color. Firm and under ripe with sour cherry and bell pepper on the palate. Cough syrup too. Like drinking after gargling listerine. Not an endearing experience. Love this commune but not this bottle. Per the below, maybe it would be interesting to try in 4-5 years, and would have welcomed some earthy funk, but not this wine not this day. (2995 views) | | | Tasted by jrobs7777 on 9/8/2009 & rated 87 points: Nuits-Saint-George Tasting (LaCroix in the Rittenhouse): A wine for the future. I'm not really able to give this a an accurate score right now. It could possibly hit 90. Right now, a little closed. A good amount of funk on the nose. Heavy barnyard, dirt and earth. Fruit requires substantial coaxing. Very subtle. High acidity on the palate. It needs to settle down. Good smooth tannins but maybe a little lacking. Medium finish. Needs another 5 years of bottle age, at least. (3867 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

| Domaine Jean Grivot Producer websitePinot Noir Varietal character (Appellation America) | Varietal article (Wikipedia)
Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.
Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.
The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.
Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.
In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.
With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.
Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.Les Boudots On Weinlagen.infoFrance Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
