| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.9 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 34 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by P_Hansen on 12/11/2022 & rated 92 points: A really nice smooth taste, but might have been even better a couple of years ago. (690 views) | | | Tasted by AudunG on 2/1/2020 & rated 90 points: Relatively light red. Delicious developed PN aromas. Surprisingly rough mouth feeling. Tannic, both for the village and the vintage. Definitely not soft and fragrant as most other notes here indicates. So, maybe a not perfect bottle. (2030 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundynick on 4/22/2018 & rated 91 points: Very good and drinking superbly, Great pinot. 91 points (2685 views) | | | Tasted by premiercru1973 on 9/30/2017 & rated 92 points: Aaaaah! This is what it is all about when loving classic burgundy. Elegance, soupleness, integration and harmony in a bottle. This bottle is at its sweet spot right now and will stay there for at least three years. Such joy and easy drinking. Not huge complexity but pure drinking pleasure showing its heritage as a high end villages. (3151 views) | | | Tasted by Xavier Auerbach on 4/27/2017 & rated 92 points: A private lunch (Restaurant Le Taillevent **, Paris, France): Pinot Noir "dans tout son délicatesse". Fragrant and flowing, floral (rose, violet) and fresh, silky and supple, light as a feather and discrete in flavours, pure and all about finesse and elegance, cool and harmonious, light and long. This is an extremely stylish vin de plaisir. (3918 views) | | | Tasted by antkorbel on 3/11/2017 & rated 91 points: Delicious wine, red fruited, medium bodied. It's got the delicious fresh acidity that I've seen from quite a few 2010s. This doesn't bat above its village weight division but it's a really enjoyable wine nonetheless. (3225 views) | | | Tasted by MWiking on 2/18/2017 & rated 91 points: härligt vin, inte alls så biffig som vissa 2009or är utan mer slank och fin med härligt kryddig doft och en frukt som inte går av för hackor! (2431 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundynick on 2/11/2017 & rated 91 points: Very good, it has the perfume of forest floor and red fruits and the delicate subtlety of only good pinot can deliver. 91 points. (1375 views) | | | Tasted by portman63 on 2/11/2017 & rated 92 points: Excellent for a village wine. Very light in color (like a really deep rosé). The color is no indication of the amazing body, freshness and red berries (mostly strawberry) that come through mid-palate into the finish. Not overtly complex, just really delicious all the way through and held up the whole evening. (1702 views) | | | Tasted by Shiaxonna on 6/10/2016 & rated 91 points: From Coravin. The nose is initially a bit strange. Leather, liquorice, boiled orange zest, gasoline!? Some oily and animal notes. But it smells good, though. And it calms down a bit after a while. Fruit driven warm nose with power and a lovely structure. The taste is wonderful and intense. Clear and elegant, cold and delightful mature berries give a high concentration and a thick, velvety mouthfeel. The finish is long and powerful. A bit more developed than expected. But very nice.
50+5+12+16+8 (91p) (1049 views) | | | Tasted by Sixchips600 on 9/26/2015 & rated 92 points: This keeps getting better. It took 90 minutes to open and was best on last sip at 3.5 hours. Rated after it opened up. Elegant oak and cedary nose, stones and herbs. Nice complexity on palate with herbs and brambles alongside satiny texture, nice minerality and a long finish. (2448 views) | | | Tasted by danstrings on 7/8/2015 & rated 92 points: Showing great with taut black cherry, woodspice (not too much), clove, espresso, licorice and fresh minerality. (2619 views) | | | Tasted by Sixchips600 on 4/24/2015 & rated 91 points: Beautiful but restrained nose of wet stones, moss, mushroom and touch of oak. Showing surprising complexity for its age/vintage. Good acidity and tannins on the palate with satin texture. Expect that plate will integrate more in a couple years. Much better than my last bottle. (2546 views) | | | Tasted by Sixchips600 on 11/21/2014 & rated 89 points: Had this with the 08. This was preferred, but neither were too impressive. Too much oak and tart fruit dominated. I expect it will get better with time, so will be interesting to watch these evolve. (2863 views) | | | Tasted by cephomer on 2/6/2014 & rated 89 points: Westchester Wine School Premium Burgundy Tasting (Mamaroneck, NY): Drank blind at WWS tasting vs. 2006 Lachaux Clos St. Denis. The St. Denis had a sweet floral nose. Some fruit, mostly red cherries here, a bit thin and a bit too tannic, no doubt due to the wine's youth. Not much here on the mid palate, and a bit astringent on the finish. A rather disappointing showing as I had great expectations.
The Anne Gros 1er cru was a pale crimson color, and showed some age despite its youth. Very generous nose of spice and earthiness that, in my opinion, was the wine's best characteristic. Not-so-ripe red cherries on the palate, mixed with some spice and musty earth. A pretty, elegant wine but, similar to the St. Denis, a bit thin & missing a mid palate. Nice length though. Not a great wine, but certainly superior to the St. Denis. (4535 views) | | | Tasted by kevincheng on 3/12/2013 & rated 89 points: Nose was filled with quite a bit of smoke/ash and an earthiness around a decent amount of semi-ripe red berries. It doesn't have the boldness that i've grown accustomed to of Chambolle's but the palate had a decent amount of juiciness to it (cherries, raspberries and strawberries). Nice balance of acidity on this one but i was just distracted by the strength of the ashiness at the beginning, which didn't fade over the course of 1.5 hours. A 'nice' Chambolle for drinking now and pretty decent for a village wine. (4044 views) | | | Tasted by johnh1001 on 3/2/2013 & rated 88 points: Drank over 2 hours. Light pretty nose of red fruit, dried flowers and minerals. Lean and taught on the palate. Red and blue fruit. Light and pretty. Dusty tannin. More creaminess over time, but still tannic. Medium to short finish. A nice village level wine but have enjoyed other vintages of this wine more (3744 views) | | | Tasted by danstrings on 9/21/2012 & rated 91 points: Lovely '09 Burg. Tea/tobacco, juicy fruit, boysenberry, herbs, chantrelle, asphalt (4265 views) | | | Tasted by St Paul on 6/6/2012 & rated 89 points: I love Anne Gros. However, this wine is the wine I have less love fore in her portfolio, even though I always rate this wine around the 90´s. Here we have a lot of blue and red fruit and typical 09 structure. Nice wine but not in the league of her 10. (4457 views) | | | Tasted by Lord Rodney on 4/13/2012 & rated 90 points: Truly a good Village! deep red berries, minerals and soil! I should have bought more. (3812 views) | | | Tasted by Shorepower on 12/11/2011: Mycket röda bär, mogna jordgubbar, körbär och lite skogsbacke. Bra struktur, mjuka tanniner, med mer av frukten i smaken. Lätt, lättdrucket. Kan naturligtvis bli bättre men behöver inte ligga så länge i källarn. Absolut inte för ungt att dricka nu. 2009orna känns väldigt tillgängliga. (3517 views) | | | Tasted by Sleepy Dave on 11/12/2011 & rated 87 points: 2011 Special Session 2: When popped and poured, this was airy on the nose that filled with red fruits: cherry, strawberry, raspberry as well as red floral and hint of forest floor. Unlike some of the 2009 I have tried, this started out lean with good transparency and focus instead of the opulent fruits forward character of 2009. Pure and feminine with short-medium length finish. Not bad but I expected more. 90mins later, the wine become more intense on both nose and palate, tannin surface for the firm structured and grip on the palate with better length. Not bad. 87-89 (3635 views) | | | Tasted by Paul S on 11/12/2011 & rated 91 points: A Night of Great Burgs (and a Riesling) (Ascott Residences, Raffles Place): I thought this was an excellent village lieu-dit. Anne Gros normally delivers quality from this plot, but the coolness of the Combe seems to have lifted the wine to an even higher notch in a warm, fleshy vintage like 2009. The bottle had been opened for a couple of hours before I got to it and, straight of the bat, the nose wafted out of the glass with notes of menthol, pinpricks of spice, flowers, sweet red fruits and earth - a very pretty bouquet. The palate was really nice as well. It had the ripe sweetness of the vintage in its morello cherry and raspberry flavours, and more depth than usual for a village, but this was wed to a lovely cut and acidity that is rather more uncommon amongst 2009s - a mark of the microclimate in the Combe perhaps. The finish was really pretty too, floating away with a waft of flowers. A silky, feminine wine that was every bit a Chambolle, this may not have been in the same league as the 1er Crus and Grand Crus that we had on this night of embarassing riches, but it was about as good a village as I have had in a long time. (4232 views) | | | Tasted by danstrings on 11/2/2011 & rated 90 points: Good spicy, fruity disposition, a tad less flamboyant and sexy than I remembered it last, but a nice solid pinot. Touches of ripe strawberry, woodspice, juicy midpalate. (3156 views) | | | Tasted by dutchwinelover on 10/14/2011 & rated 93 points: opened last night and thought isn't it to young to drink now?
well as with more red burgundy 2009 no! its luscious full fruit and lovely to drink now.
sure you can keep this for a couple of years but why would you? 47,50 euro not cheap but wonderfull wine.
sadly i only got one left...(opened last bottle and this was wonderfull too, enjoyed very much and looking for this wine right now!) (3371 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

| Domaine Anne Gros 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.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
Côte de Nuits on weinlagen.infoChambolle-MusignyChambolle-Musigny is one of the smallest appellations of the Côte de Nuits, although given the tiny, fragmented nature of Burgundy vineyards, it manages to fit two exceptional Grand Crus (Bonnes Mares and Le Musigny) and a couple of dozen Premieres Crus. These wines are known for delicacy and tend to be light in body, but concentrated and with fragrant bouquets. The critic Robert M. Parker Jr. quotes French poet Gaston Roupnel as likening the region's wines to "silk and lace." |
