| Community Tasting Notes (average 93.3 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 16 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Collector1855 on 12/30/2023 & rated 96 points: Wonderful nose with red fruit, whole cluster elements intermixed with sous bois and animalic elements. Cool and restraint, early drinking window. Very elegant, sappy finish. A great Vosne 1er Cru. (866 views) | | | Tasted by Alex G. on 3/29/2023: Textbook example of Vosne 1er, gorgeous Vosne spice on the nose, truly remarkable transparency on the palate. This is as elegant and fine a Vosne-Romanee as one could hope for, delightful now with a brilliant future ahead of it. Very impressive. (497 views) | | | Tasted by tobyc on 4/5/2022 & rated 95 points: Drank at a restaurant. At peak maturity right now. Depth and complexity hand in hand but retained fruit and freshness ensures the wine's longivity on the palate.
Drink. (717 views) | | | Tasted by Sepsis on 7/30/2021 & rated 93 points: A little closed, but opens with air.
Would save a few years for tannins to soften. (844 views) | | | Tasted by BenBlu on 3/13/2018 & rated 94 points: Took delivery of 3 bottles and popped open the one with slightly lower fill - cork was soaked half way and a bit soft. This was immediately appealing and drinkable, put in decanter and followed for the next few hours. Appealing initially in a lithe but lovely way the aromas on both the nose and palate deepened with some air. Gorgeous nose with Vosne spice and strong mineral under tow, on the palate a nicely focused acidic display of concentrated red fruit, positively saline, just makes you come back and back for the next sip. It's the kind of wine that makes you nod, smile and think yeah, lovely 1er Cru Burg from when a strong year, vineyard and producer conspire. The only way this could be better and I would score higher is if the fruit was a tad sweeter, but that is picking nits. My dilemma will be what to do with the remaining two bottles, this is drinking but will probably be very rewarding to cellar too. Well, if history is of any guide in those situations bottles don't tend to get too old in my house, sigh.. (1925 views) | | | Tasted by gvdb on 4/13/2016 & rated 93 points: beautiful open nose with spices, red and black fruit, perfume like, minerality, excellent balance, tension and long finish. Drank 2 glasses with corvine. I did notice that the cork was very soft for the needle to get in , so perhaps very wet cork. Very good to drink but also good to keep. (3184 views) | | | Tasted by rhoneranger2 on 11/13/2013 & rated 93 points: A winsome wine and the group favorite (see villagewinejournal.blogspot). Classically Vosnish with spice, perfume and the WOW factor thrown in. Guessed (wrongly) it was one of the Vosne Grand Crus in the tasting. Lively, fresh and gripping. A great pleasure to drink now but there is serious structure to this wine as well. I'd give this another 5 years to really reach maximum potential. (3348 views) | | | Tasted by Lord Rodney on 10/3/2013 & rated 93 points: Very very nice wine! Actually better than expected! Deep dark and velvet fruits. Very pure and delicate. I am sure this can go for miles and miles! Wow! (3626 views) | | | Tasted by winopops3 on 7/20/2013 & rated 93 points: I think Barry's note is quite a good description of this wine. The only thing I would add is that these dark fruits with great intensity are well balanced with decent acidity and beautiful tannic structure. I think this drinks beautifully now, and it will be interesting to follow its development. (3454 views) | | | Tasted by dutchwinelover on 3/30/2013 & rated 92 points: ok this was a beautiful beaumonts from young(21!) maxime cheurlin.
this is going to be very sought after wine.
its just amazing if you think this is his first! vintage he ever made.
bravo maxime! (2973 views) | | | Tasted by Barry Rothof on 3/26/2013 & rated 93 points: Top Burgundy Tasting at the Sotto Lounge. (Netherlands): Deep nose of black raspberries, black cherries, plums and espresso. On the palate the wine is deep, with dark black fruit, great intensity of flavor and a very long and spicey finish. A brilliant young bottle of Les Beaux Monts. (3072 views) |
| 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.Les Beaux MontsBeaux Monts covers a little over 11 hectares and is further subdivided into Beaux Monts, Les Hautes Beaux Monts, Les Beaux Monts Hauts, and Les Beaux Monts Bas. It borders the grand cru vineyard of Echézeaux, though at a higher altitude. Quality is variable with some wines described as "weedy" and they are typically less dense than wines from lower altitudes. Better examples may have a high-toned perfume. Top producers for Beaux Monts include Domaine Bertagna, Bruno Clavelier, Leroy, Hudelot-Noëllats, Louis Jadot, and Henri Jayer.

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy 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
Côte de Nuits on weinlagen.infoVosne-Romanée 1er CruVosne Romanée is one of the smallest wine villages in Burgundy The wines possess diverse characteristics, but they can generally considered to have complexity and longevity beyond nearly all other wines in the world. The village has six grand crus: Romanée-Conti, La Romanée, La Tâche, Richebourg, Romanée-Saint-Vivant, and La Grande Rue. While there is monopoly control of four of the six grand crus, the village has at least forty growers sharing its vineyards.
