| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.6 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 16 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by godx on 6/10/2014: La Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin (Vancouver) (Zest): This was quite peppery in comparison to the 01 Roncieres with an overall darker fruit profile as well. This could use more time. Excellent. (2820 views) | | | Tasted by wineack on 11/28/2013 & rated 88 points: This was a light garnet color with considerable browning on rim. Perhaps more advanced in color than it should be at this age. There may have been a temperature problem at some point. This was purchased on Winebid. This nose was beautiful with the expected beet root and meaty nuances, but not the depth and expansiveness noted by others for this wine.. (3724 views) | | | Tasted by aagrawal on 1/27/2013 & rated 91 points: SF Wineberserkers Offline (BerserkerDay) (San Francisco, CA): Initially seemed like riper styled fruits, but then it developed a lovely funky sweaty complexity, lots of red fruits; palate has light smooth tannin, nice fruits. Very nice, made in a slightly riper style than the lignier-michelot, but still obviously old world. 90-92 (5039 views) | | | Tasted by Pverd on 3/4/2012 & rated 90 points: Lovely wine. Nose quite secondary with earth, pine needles and quite dark fruits on the nose. With air it filled out and pushed the earthy side of NSG. Palate is just midweight but tannins and fine and nearly fully resolved. May lack just a bit of density but this is more a vintage thing than winemaking. Really speaks of its place with no winemaking artifice. Notgreat length but beautifully balanced. A lovely, honest NSG. Drinking very well now but another couple of years may just add a bit more complexity. (4497 views) | | | Tasted by Dave Dalluge on 3/6/2011: No notes taken but this showed consistent with previous notes. Glad to have a few more tucked away in the cellar. (4983 views) | | | Tasted by Dave Dalluge on 10/11/2010: No notes taken. Popped and poured. I thought this showed really well, but many couldn't drink it at all. There's a touch of brett that was the probable source of this reaction. It also suffered by being poured after the divine '98 Vieux Donjon. (3248 views) | | | Tasted by pjaines on 11/21/2009: London CT II Event (The Hide Bar, London): Oh my oh my. How good was this stuff. Wonderful deep elegant, great balance of fruit, tannins and acidity gives up a wonderul mixture that only Burgundy can produce. Probably the stand out Burg of the night for me. Persistent, moved between deep and primary to feathery and ethereal and then back again. More please!!! (3263 views) | | | Tasted by Wrighty on 11/21/2009: London CT Event II (The Hide Bar, London): This was wonderful and the red of the night for me. Had depth but also elegance with a lovely finish. One to find and buy. (3155 views) | | | Tasted by Dave Dalluge on 11/4/2009 & rated 93 points: Wednesday at Heidi's: Opened ~1 hour before serving, and seemed to need every minute. Darker color than the '00. A bit more brooding on the nose, but with awesome aromas of dark fruit, spice and coffee (and no VA). Much more structured on the palate, but with great flavor intensity and nice expansiveness. Has good acidity and is still very tannic. Showing well now, but should continue to improve for many years. (2856 views) | | | Tasted by Siggy on 11/4/2009 & rated 92 points: Tasting Group Dinner - Miscellaneous (Heidi's, Minneapolis): Dark color. Enchantingly complex, perfumed, elegant nose. The palate is somewhat reticent, but with coaxing, shows lovely spicy red fruit. Moderately intense, nicely balanced, and smoothly textured. Delicious. (2977 views) | | | Tasted by Dave Dalluge on 10/28/2009 & rated 93 points: Popped and poured. Watery red-orange color. Soaring nose of black cherry and coffee. The nose is really something special. Mid-weight on the palate. Expansive flavors of red cherry, spice and coffee on the palate. Surprisingly, this is still fairly tannic, with really nice acidity and the finish is long and very satisfying. This is showing very well now, but given all the components, I would expect this to continue to improve for quite awhile into the future. (2305 views) | | | Tasted by trond1 on 5/20/2006 & rated 93 points: Very tasty, powerful burgundy with nice bouquet (2943 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 2/26/2006 & rated 88 points: Chicao Wine Geeks do Pinot (Hyde Park, Chicago (Collin's place)): Ruby red hue, but shows some browning. Full bouquet of subtle red fruit. Decidedly less cherry than the Cali wines. Palate was nicely structured. Again fruit was subtle in the mouth. But evolved nicely over the evening. Shorter than I would have liked on the finish. Solid in an understated sort of way. I knew this was Burg as I brought the wine and recognized the foil wrapping. (4088 views) |

U.S. Importer (Addt'l Info)
The adventure started with Symphorien Chevillon who started working approximately thirty acres of vines at Nuits-Saint-Georges in his own name.
Then, Eugène-François (around 1914), following 2 years of military service and 5 years of war, took over the domain and bought a few plots as Premier Cru.
In 1946, the vines were taken over by the 2 sons (they separated later on).
Maurice bought 2 stills (39) and (46) and became an itinerant distiller. He continued to expand the Domain by buying new plots of Premier Cru.Pinot 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.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
