| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.4 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 35 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by pclin on 2/23/2024 & rated 93 points: PnP. ABV 13%. Crazily big and good for a village. I would be surprised if anyone could guess this as a village in blind tasting. It’s approachable but not really ready at the beginning, you could feel the substantial tannins bites and structure. This is most likely a 40 years village. Is ‘05 the best Chambolle vintage ever? (542 views) | | | Tasted by palfr2 on 10/17/2023: Last had this in its youth, pretty much when it was released. How time flies, almost 20 years in the life of a wine aficionado. Against my recollection elements seem to have rearranged. The huge gob of fruit has moved to the front and the tannins are barely perceptible. There is healthy acidity for a ripe vintage only rearing its head a few seconds into the midpalate to propel a longish finish. The fruit profile strikes me as neither red or black fruited. More like a stewed fruit compote. Enveloping, comforting, pleasing but at the expense of clarity and delineation. Revisiting the nose now and there is great brambly freshness reminding me of '10 Burgs. In its prime now about as good as a Village has the right to be. (911 views) | | | Tasted by pclin on 8/6/2023 & rated 92 points: PnP. ABV 13%. First of the case bought from secondary market few years ago. Clean and expressive nose, flowers, dark soils, mints, and oaks. Very encouraging based on bouquet alone. Mouth watering acidity and firm mid-palate. Excellent density and length for a Village, pretty much in 1er Cru level. Finished a bit spicy and warm. Approachable now but should continue to evolve and improve, not yet reached plateau, will be very good when ready which shouldn’t be too far away.

T9 (2447 views) | | | Tasted by rlove on 12/24/2021: Past prime. Some cherry but mostly tired. (2002 views) | | | Tasted by Bullethead on 11/21/2021 & rated 91 points: In the middle of its development, need 5 more years (1727 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 5/16/2021: A Tasting of Chambolle-Musigny Village Wines from the 2005 Vintage (San Francisco): Medium ruby. Strawberry aromas. Light to medium weight. Lively, supple, and saline yet with fruit confiture sweetness. Sneaky power and length. I absolutely loved this, and it is remarkably complete for a wine at this level.
Some alcohol shows on the second night, but the red fruit marches on-juicy, deep, and sweet. (2650 views) | | | Tasted by asparagus on 4/23/2021 & rated 92 points: A great village with a ton of underlying material, but maybe still a couple of years too young. Lots of fruit and concentration and supple tannins. I wept when I realised I paid SGD 88 for this about 10 years back. (1926 views) | | | Tasted by sooper65 on 2/7/2021 & rated 91 points: Youthful still. Ample Pinot fruit. Very nice and worthy of the £25 a bottle En Primeur.
Great village quality... not challenging anything higher (1644 views) | | | Tasted by baroloboy55-2.0 on 4/23/2020 & rated 92 points: This is a charming wine in a lovely place. Seemed a little watery when first opened but over a couple of hours took on considerable weight. Dark fruited, brambly/sous-bois, a bit of moist mushoomy earthy. Mid weight, well balanced. No hint of the warmth of the vintage. Very fine grained tannic structure. Seems in a very good place and perhaps a bit of upside, but definitely rewarding to drink right now. Sure wish I had the foresight to buy a few more bottles of this. Just one heck of a villages Chambolle! (2000 views) | | | Tasted by ASG24 on 4/18/2020: 2005 G Barthod Chambolle-Musigny. Quite dark in the glass, perhaps portendingbBlack cherries and blackberries, spice, and earth on the nose; this is a darker, slightly sweeter C-M, dare I say a more masculine version, that reminds me a bit of a baby Bonnes Mares, especially in the mouth, with its darker, riper, and somewhat smoky fruit, earth, and its rather rich mouthfeel. A very nice wine, with everything amped up a bit, perhaps due to the vintage. I am happy to have a bunch more so we can see how it matures.

T9 (could be a 7)
started off fantastic and something happened. Probably needs a new note (1210 views) | | | Tasted by sooper65 on 12/16/2019 & rated 93 points: Chambollic gorgeous (1497 views) | | | Tasted by Derek Darth Taster on 10/29/2019 & rated 93 points: Asparagus gang dinner at Imperial Treasure Ion. Pop and poured. Drank over 2+ hours in bottle. Drank in Gabriel Standart.
Appearance is clear, medium intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, initially was tight, but just a little air and this got going with medium+ intensity, soaring aromatics of dark red florals, very ripe strawberries, compact dark moist earth, stony minerals. Developing.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), medium tannins, medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of concentrated ripe strawberries, those brooding dark red cherries, moist dark earth, stony minerals. Long finish.
Very good quality Chambolle Village! Packed with lots of fruit ingredient. Not overly ripe. In a great spot now, and should continue to develop over the next 3-4 years. (1776 views) | | | Tasted by sooper65 on 2/10/2019 & rated 90 points: Surprisingly dark, some sous Bois on the nose, very youthful on the palate. Plenty of life in this (1569 views) | | | Tasted by Enfantterrible on 11/29/2018 & rated 90 points: Recent notes capture this well. Wonderful QPR and prolly peaking now. 2005 villages burgs are really hitting their stride (1712 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 10/12/2018: Potpourri of Wines from an Autumn Trip to France; 10/9/2018-10/24/2018 (Paris, Lyon, Beaune, Reims): Deep ruby-hard to believe it is a 13 year old village wine. Some ripe cherry, herb, and early secondary high tones. Denser and more concentrated than usual. Right out of the bottle, prototypical tart red fruit, fantastic acidity, a strong thread of soil, and substantial ripe tannins. With air, it lost any tartness as the ripe fruit shone through, and it showed more espresso notes. Wow, I doubt that this is more than halfway evolved to full maturity. Premier Cru stuffing and material with impressive structure, but the size and sweetness of fruit will probably turn off the Chambolle purist who seeks more delicacy and detail. I must confess that this did not bother me in the least since there was so much to it!!
This lost nothing overnight. In fact, it became more airy, the acidity remained firm, and it began to display that curious Burgundian citric lift. All of this bodes well going forward. (2502 views) | | | Tasted by sooper65 on 5/24/2018 & rated 93 points: Totally loved this. Plump rich and quite dense fruit. Opulent. But velvety too.
Am confused by some less than complimentary reviews. Already looking forward to my next bottle! (2156 views) | | | Tasted by Johnnybegood on 11/19/2016 & rated 90 points: Day 1: Decanted for 3+ hours
Dark color for a Chambolle A/C. Chewy tannins on the finish with the underlying fruit somewhat muted or hidden. Earthy dark cherry flavors come through and this wine has excellent balance. This 05 Barthod has the structure of a 1er Cru but the complexity of a good village wine. Needs 2-4 years in the bottle as this is still to young and not at it's peak. Because of the large frame and substantial core of fruit I would not be surprised if this wine does not hit it's peak for another 5-10 years. I have some 2005 Les Cras and will not even touch this for 10+ years. Impressive village chambolle and delicious even if drunk young. Will try on Day 2 to see how it changes. Today I would rate this 90+
Day 2: Similar to the first day insofar this wine has a huge structure for a village Burgundy and it is still quite tight and unresolved. Will likely hold-off on opening another bottle until 2020. (3736 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 2/9/2016 flawed bottle: Great underlying fruit, but slightly corked. (4369 views) | | | Tasted by Enfantterrible on 6/4/2015 flawed bottle: Nasty copper smell and taste. Dang... (4317 views) | | | Tasted by Taffi on 6/22/2014 & rated 91 points: Glatt og flott vin. (5216 views) | | | Tasted by Taffi on 6/8/2014 & rated 91 points: Riktig flott vin :) (4343 views) | | | Tasted by Taffi on 3/14/2014 & rated 91 points: Har smakt flere forskjellige viner fra denne produsenten det siste året og synes at den generelle kvaliteten er svært bra.
Denne flasken var inget unntak og er en elegant, middels kraftig vin.
God i dag, men sikkert enda bedre om noen år. (3315 views) | | | Tasted by MauriceE on 8/16/2013: Cooked fruit, a little dusty, overconcentrated. None of the pinot fruit one would expect from a 2005 Chambolle. (3675 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

Burgundy-Report (11/1/2007)
(Barthod Ghislaine Chambolle-Musigny) Medium, medium-plus cherry-red. The nose shows a transient deep and toasty oak nose - then it’s gone. At 20° the nose is diffuse and flabby but at 17° there is some tightening, black cherry and just an edge of reduction. The palate starts just a little rough, but I think this is just a little dissolved carbon dioxide as there is quite some improvement, eventually it’s lovely. Following the Voillot, this is more masculine with darker shaded fruit and perhaps more density, but certainly missing a little of the magic complexity of that wine. Lots of dimension and a very impressive finish. It needs a little time in the glass, but this is a top-class villages. |

| 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)

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.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." |
