Begynner å åpne seg.
Forførende parfyme, knallrød i frukten med sexy spice.
Slank i anslaget.
Trenger nok litt mer tid på å slippe seg helt løs.
Dog ingen klaging herfra - dette er nydelig nå, men mer å hente.
Stram fokusert finish med markante, dog helt fine tanniner.
92-93p (298 views) | | | Tasted by pbaek on 5/2/2024: Wonderful showing. Perfume of red berries, spices, earth. Silky texture, no hard edges, elegant and refined fruit. The fruit is in the darker end of the spectrum and there’s a spicy touch. Understated power, balance and harmony. Early days, but as so many 2017s, absolutely delicious right now. €90 on the list. Yes, please. Lunch in Mersault with Per. (351 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 3/25/2024 & rated 90 points: Quaffable, bit unremarkable. (515 views) | | | Tasted by Shrewsram on 3/6/2024 & rated 94 points: PNP with dinner
Good volume to the nose, immediate core of juicy black cherry fruit, a cool edge, perfumed forest fruits, pretty crushed blue notes, pinot sap/leaf, coal... wood.
Medium-bodied, fleshy and quite open with a salty/mineral underpinning and frame. Stony earth, more cool feels.
coming back: the nose is absolutely brilliant - blue/black and graphite, black raspberry. Silky and supple on the palate, juicy. ooh!
On return:
Very open nose, graphite tinged and redder. Generous, silky and bright, some pepper and earth, crushed raspberry and loganberry... so good!
Medium bodied, a firmness but a fine frame, savoury base and broadly mineral and cool. Savoury, clean and pure.
Later on:
Woodier and spicier but fresh pour brings back the graphite and red fruits. Medium, smooth and supple, juicy and full of ripe red fruits - with some firmness here and there. Really lovely stuff.
2017s are excellent. This offers great purity and was immediately expressive, developing with each sip. Brilliant bottle. (408 views) | | | Tasted by hajoha on 5/10/2020 & rated 93 points: Rousseau Gevrey-Chambertin 2017.
Full pupp rett fra flaska.
Pinotsexy.
Candyshop og hele pakka.
17 er søtere, frodigere og løsere i fisken.
Utrolig deilig å drikke nå.
Den har virkelig flotte former.
Hvor 16 er mer reservert og intellektuell, så skriker 17 "se på meg - jeg er deilig"
Supersmooth.
Lang og deilig med fine tanniner.
Kantfri - sjarmtroll. 93p
Mulig 16 har større kvaliteter, men i dag vant 17 hårfint på sjarmen. (4552 views) | | | Tasted by jonanator on 12/4/2019 & rated 91 points: Lovely village wine from a true top-tier producer. A little closed (and obviously young), so the nose and palate were a little reserved - but still quite enjoyable. The texture of this wine is amazing, so lush, soft, and silky. Would love to try this again in 10 years. (3758 views) |

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.France 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
