| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.8 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 12 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 8/12/2021 & rated 92 points: Perrières Tasting: Mostly Meursault Whites, plus Méo-Camuzet Reds (The Winefool - Chicago IL): Single blind in 04/05/06 vertical. Opened an hour before serving. Ripe black and red cherry with spice more reminiscent of a fine Vosne 1er Cru. Nicely dense, wonderfully fresh, very well balanced. Very good right now, probably good for another decade+. (1254 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 8/12/2021 & rated 91 points: Perrieres Tasting (Chez Winefool): Very Vosne aromas with black cherry, tea, Asian spices and some meat. Excellent balance and lift to the ripe, spice-infused fruit. Delicious. (821 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 6/11/2020 & rated 90 points: Plenty of ripe black cherry on nose and palate with some roasted meat character. Rich start, then more structured from the middle forward, really shows the Nuits St. Georges character. Good now, possibly with further upside. Good through at least 2036. (1725 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 8/18/2017 & rated 90 points: Ripe black cherry with dark chocolate and baking spice hints. Nicely fresh and powerful, starting of lush and fleshy, but finishing with mineral textures. Producer, vintage and NSG terroir all coming through in good harmony here. (1645 views) | | | Tasted by Roentgen Ray on 12/10/2016 & rated 93 points: Suave and plush like leather that's really good and a couple of years old.
It's held together with a fabric that shows some give, and can be worn without damage.
What I mean, it's really good in an interesting way. It's firm, and not at all brittle.
Finally, I've not yet tasted a Méo Camuzet wine that I don't like.
T (1413 views) | | | Tasted by Roentgen Ray on 11/12/2014 & rated 89 points: Right now, the wines that come at a fraction of the price of this one, from this producer are better. This one has hints of NSG and a hint of Vosne. Hold on to this one if you have one bottle, if you have six, give it a vigorous decant and try it if you want to explore 2006 North Burg. (1583 views) | | | Tasted by KeithAkers on 10/2/2014 & rated 93 points: A focus on Nuits-Saint-Georges (Aquitaine, Chicago IL): Nose: The nose is deep and flowing with dark red berries, cranberries, red florals, mineral rich earth notes, dark red cherries, perfumes, and some brown spices. There is some raw power to this too that almost overwhelms, but instead just fills the glass.
Taste: Medium/full bodied with medium/high acidity and chewy tannins. The structure is very youthful, but it isn't overpowering with cranberries, dark red berries, mineral rich earth, dark red cherries, and some brown spice tones.
Overall: This was a gorgeous and young wine. It is deceptively drinking right now, but this feels like it can get better with more age. (2298 views) | | | Tasted by Roentgen Ray on 7/20/2014 & rated 91 points: Too young (1528 views) | | | Tasted by Roentgen Ray on 5/18/2012 & rated 89 points: Not my favorite style, very high in acidity. Lean and tannic. Give this one some time. (1749 views) | | | Tasted by KKR75 on 12/30/2011 & rated 92 points: This wine surprised me with its depth and youth. Aromas of pure dark berries, while the tannins are not as harsh as I thought they'd be. Very silky, smooth on the palate, with quite a long finish. This will age quite easily. (1905 views) | | | Tasted by Pacalet on 4/15/2010 & rated 87 points: Nice and pretty intense red fruit nose, tannin already quite soft, tart red fruit, medium+ finish, very young but approachable Burg. (1443 views) | | | Tasted by Rani on 8/12/2009 & rated 93 points: Blueberry jam on the nose, with some graphite/stone. Quite a slutty wine on the palate, flamboyant and big, firm silky tannins, long finish. (1352 views) |
| Méo-Camuzet Frère et Sœurs 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.Les PerrièresWhen in Bourgueil, Loire, France: On weinlagen-infoFrance 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
