| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.6 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 47 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by repoper on 5/12/2024 & rated 92 points: Found a few bottles at auction. Slow oxed for 10:00 hours, then into a decanter for another few. Initially the nose was still very shy. It took about an hour then the fireworks occurred. The wine had a nice browning edge. The nose was filled with bramble deep fruit, a nice sweet cherry top note and a bit of forest floor. Paired perfectly with prim rub on the grill. As it sat thru dinner it kept unfolding and was a very fine bottle. (177 views) | | | Tasted by repoper on 2/13/2024 & rated 96 points: Sadly my last bottle. I opened the bottle about 6 hours before dinner but did not decant. From the first glass this was magical. From the nose to the color to the pallet this was sublime. A complete, balanced wine that just enveloped you with sweet red fruit compote, raspberries, honey, and a tinge of barnyard. This is exactly why we love burgundy. A perfectly aged bottle. This is just in a great spot. Went perfectly with roasted bone marrow. (519 views) | | | Tasted by Dale M on 11/19/2023 & rated 92 points: Decanted 2 hrs. It's been almost 9 years since my last go at this wine, and I'm pleased to report this NSG is doing just fine and inn a really good place. Lovely dark forest floor and red berry perfume hit on the nose and the palate, and supplemented by a savory meat pan drippings on the back half. Very consistent with respectable coverage and my guess is this close to maturity though should go for as long as you need it to. Very good. (900 views) | | | Tasted by Francophile1 on 10/1/2023 & rated 92 points: It has been six years since I’ve had this wine. It was my last bottle but I figured if I still really liked it, I could buy more online. Unfortunately, it was nowhere to be found online in the US. The nose on this wine is intoxicating and has added some tertiary notes. The mid-palate is also lovely. The only knock on this wine from my prior tastings is that the finish has become abrupt and drying. There is definitely a green stem characteristic on the back end that makes this wine austere on the back end. Nevertheless, it is a delicious 1er Cru NSG. (979 views) | | | Tasted by Aravind Asok on 6/22/2023: Pop.and pour. Lovely on open: perfumed red fruit, nuits animale, raspberry, spice. On the palate: fantastic acidity, good density, soft red fruit, funky earth. Excellent right now. Showed oxidized on Day 2 open, so drink up in the near term.

the reason we love burgundy
and celebrated my dad (1607 views) | | | Tasted by Aravind Asok on 3/5/2022: Pop and pour. Not much to add to my last note, but paled in comparison to the Croix from last night. (2198 views) | | | Tasted by COWineLover on 2/6/2022 & rated 88 points: First bottle of 8 that was acquired on release. Aromatically this took about three hours to open up with sous bois, nutmeg, bing cherries, and licorice. On the palate the acidity rushes in for the attack where tart cherries and cranberries are predominant in the mid-palate. In the mid-palate this brings in some spice notes that tail off quickly, with a finish that is abrupt and short.
For the vintage, I found this lacks elegance, depth, and length. Offers an acceptable tasting experience but nothing memorable. (2353 views) | | | Tasted by laucap on 1/7/2022 & rated 91 points: On the nose: a bit funky, barnyard, earth, metal. On the palate: red and black fruits, slightly floral, silky tannins, good length. Flows. Elegant. Compared to a village Gevrey drank at the same time, this was superior. Quite good! (2145 views) | | | Tasted by HowardNZ on 12/24/2021 & rated 94 points: The (Temporary) Return of the Golden Weather: Autumn 2021 Visit to Central Otago: Served to me double blind in a pair with the Camille Giroud. The red wine of the night. A more complex and detailed bouquet of black cherries and other dark fruit with spicy, savoury, earthy, ferric and mineral elements with a nascent dark floral top note. On palate, richer and fuller than the Giroud. Also, more balanced and complete. Clearly Burgundy. On the reveal, it made sense as modernist new (post-2007) Faiveley from a superb vintage. Drink from now over the next 10+ years. Brilliant! (2479 views) | | | Tasted by hankj on 9/21/2021 & rated 88 points: From magnum. Decent burgundy, of the nothing special variety. Needed some air on pop before the aromatics lit up a bit, light cherry and strawberry, orange peel, cola, dried flowers, a little bit of Earth and vanilla. Quite primary on the palate, a little light on the stuffing. Fairly quickly faded into a more primary wine dominated by cherry.
Some more time will help a bit, but this does not have the stuffing to transform into something special. Good but unremarkable. (2383 views) | | | Tasted by Aravind Asok on 8/14/2021: Pop and pour. Backup from last night. A little oak heavy at opening, but comes into equilibrium with some air. On the nose: wild strawberry, dried strawberry, soft vanilla and spice, lovely earthy notes. On the palate: good acidity, lovely density, loads of strawberry and spice with loads of NSG earth. Maybe a touch soft on the finish, with slightly attenuated tannin. (1858 views) | | | Tasted by redhead6971 on 1/12/2020 & rated 91 points: Pale ruby with just a very slight hint of browning. On the nose was wild strawberry, briar patch, spices, sandalwood rose and red licorice. Palate was light and still closed with strawberrries, black cherry, red berry tart, and spices. Finish was fairly clean and refreshing with moderate acids. Seemed a little,closed down even after a day under Private Preserve. Will try again in a couple of years. (2878 views) | | | Tasted by Aravind Asok on 8/31/2019: Notes similar to last time. Nuits animale, sandalwood, wild strawberry, soft basil. On the palate, excellent acidity, black raspberry and wild strawberry, a touch of cola, and a very soft tannic finish. This is drinking wonderfully right now, and while it may develop more secondary notes with age, it's going to be tough to not drink ... (3079 views) | | | Tasted by jnewman77 on 8/12/2019: This is really quite nice. The nose shows super pure red berry fruits, with some dusty earth underlying, a bit of spice and violet. Does not have much if any rusticity or gamy Nuits notes. The palate however, has plenty of structure with ripe, but prominent tannins, juicy acidity, and good concentration. Still on the upswing in development, but certainly really tasty right now. Has the crystalline purity and balance that I really love in the 2010s. (3087 views) | | | Tasted by Aravind Asok on 3/29/2019: Very nice. A touch of nuits funk on the nose, wild strawberry, sandalwood, beautiful perfume. On the palate, good acidity, slightly thinner than I expected, but more wild strawberry. Soft tannin on the finish. (3311 views) | | | Tasted by Robert Pavlovich on 2/5/2019: Impressive aromatics of mint, fresh red fruit, and subtle earth. Elevated acidity on the palate, with light to medium concentration of red cherry and cranberry fruit, along with subtle green edges. Light touch of oak, spice, earth, and fine tannins. I've really missed this extra gear of freshness in many 10's and modern red Burgs in general, though it's possible this could've been better trading just a touch of its extra freshness for slightly riper fruit. Looking forward to another bottle in a few years. (3612 views) | | | Tasted by fdaner on 9/3/2018 & rated 93 points: Wine opens up with an expressive nose of red fruit, mineral and slight pine notes. It is deep and pure upon tasting with fine grain tannin and some structure showing as the wine was consumed over several hours. If you have several I would not hesitate to open but expect this will be outstanding in 3-5 years. (3092 views) | | | Tasted by Francophile1 on 7/30/2017 & rated 93 points: I love this wine and it is only getting better with age. Last tasted in 2016. My initial tasting note still holds true, so I pasted it below. I would decant it for an hour and enjoy every last drop of its goodness.
Prior tasting note...
I wanted to taste the first of my six bottles to see where this wine is currently. Opened 3 hours before tasting with a small pour into a glass to increase surface area in the bottle (no decant). I was pleasantly surprised by how great this is drinking now. While it will be incredible in 10 more years, its nobility is shining through. An expressive nose of bright red fruit (a blend of warmed strawberries, raspberries, and a ting of cranberry), with wonderful underbrush, mushroom, and minerality that will only express more with time in the cellar. Exact purity in the glass with a lingering finish with cinnamon spice on the finish. There is a tannic structure on the finish to suggest this can age long term, but the tannin is not offensive to keep you from drinking it now. So glad I have more to taste over the years. (4320 views) | | | Tasted by yvr2zrh on 4/15/2017 & rated 91 points: This was a good wine. Took about an hour to open up on the mouth but the nose was quite striking from the moment the cork was popped. Very good balance and depth and shows the characteristics of this great 2010 vintage. Worth a try. (4314 views) | | | Tasted by Francophile1 on 10/8/2016 & rated 92 points: Can't keep my hands off this wine... my third review in less than 1 year. Soooo good! Tonight this paired perfectly with beef tartare and duck breast at Fig in Asheville, NC. Great pairing and great wine! (4751 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundio on 7/16/2016 & rated 93 points: Pnp. Lovely with foie gras and duck breast. (1530 views) | | | Tasted by Francophile1 on 2/21/2016 & rated 94 points: Similar tasting note from the last time I had this wine... This was a perfect compliment to the seared duck breast entree I had. There is no better combination to me than a great glass of Burgundy and seared duck breast on a bed of mushroom risotto. Simply divine! (5478 views) | | | Tasted by Avicenne on 12/27/2015 & rated 87 points: Il lui faut quelques heures pour dire son mot.
Nez d'abord discret, on devine ensuite le poivre blanc, les cerises et un peu de champignons/terre humide.
Bouche bien élégante quoiqu'un peu courte avec une acidité éthérée.
Bien jolis sans qu'il n'y ait de coup de coeur.

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 Porêts Saint-Georges 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
