Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 90.8 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by hprphf on 12/24/2023 flawed bottle: Premox and ever so slightly corked. Golden color with sharp Brett-like honey notes. (265 views)
 Tasted by rnellans on 12/9/2013 & rated 90 points: Similar to the last bottle. This wine is on the decline and certainly advanced. Quite soft, orchard fruits. Lacks the typical freshness and minerality that I like in a Chevy. (2876 views)
 Tasted by rnellans on 12/30/2012 & rated 89 points: Yellow color. Advanced for sure, but not blatantly oxidized. It did not get worse with air. Some bruised apple aromas. Soft, rich and creamy on the palate. It could use a bit more acidity. Sweet finish. Drink up! (3200 views)
 Tasted by Chuck Miller on 10/25/2011: Initially soft, served slightly too warm. With air, some premox appeared, first on the nose, then on the palate. Drinkable, but just that. (3481 views)
 Tasted by jsebiri on 12/24/2008 & rated 89 points: well maybe not in 2 years , how about 7 months . Had with dinner last night Brushetta and chix scarpiello This was very different than the last one , ,deep yellow color , very sweet taste apples on the nose , fine bottle of wine for sure nothing off the charts though just very good bottle of white wine......saved a 1/4 bottle for today (3493 views)
 Tasted by jsebiri on 5/10/2008: i am glad this wasnt ox'd very deep yellow ( light honey ?).....there was something on an etheral level , but also something that was ordinary.....i will drink my last bottle at some point in the nxt 2 years...90 (3430 views)
 Tasted by cgrimes on 11/10/2006 & rated 95 points: Dinner at the Blanchards (Newburyport, MA): Whoa! Nose of crisp apple with a hint of oak. Initally cold, the toasty appple, lemon zest, vanilla opened up in the glass. Terrific acidity balanced the fruit without tartness and a slight, very pleasing petrol mouthfeel that helped the finish go on and on. (2352 views)

Burgundy

Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)

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
