| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.6 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 15 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by LW31 on 10/9/2021: Surprise wine of the night. Lovely dark plum fruit, a tang of iron. Quite lovely and authentic to itself. (640 views) | | | Tasted by diggydan on 3/31/2019 & rated 91 points: Really earthy and all about the sous bois. (1188 views) | | | Tasted by Brioche85 on 11/12/2018 & rated 90 points: Good performance in a difficult vintage. Still very youthful, loads of fruits and tanins (1166 views) | | | Tasted by acyso on 2/17/2018 & rated 88 points: HDH auction at Spiaggia; 2/15/2018-2/17/2018 (Chicago, IL): A pretty classic 2006 with its black sappy fruit. A really nice palate with much of the same characteristics. The acidity seems a bit heightened and and the tannins still a little coarse. Good, if a little simple. (2511 views) | | | Tasted by ring.e on 12/27/2016 & rated 74 points: Almost wet dog on the nose
Red berries (1969 views) | | | Tasted by eluebchow on 1/3/2015 flawed bottle: This had a touch of cork taint/wet cardboard on the nose that detracted from the wine, which is a shame because there is some nice concentrated and silky red fruit underneath (2591 views) | | | Tasted by MLipton on 11/1/2014: Both bottles slightly corked, one more than the other. Beneath the cork taint was a very appealing wine: slightly spicy, dark fruited with good acidity. More than that was hard to discern amidst the musty cardboard. (2119 views) | | | Tasted by chablis28 on 1/17/2014 & rated 93 points: A beautifull wine drinking so very well. Very elegant and pretty with a great nose! Such a bargain at $25! Wish to hell I had bought more but I'm even more happy this one btl rocked! This was totaly in my wheel house. (2974 views) | | | Tasted by MLipton on 11/9/2013: Initially, a nose of tart raspberry and a racy, zippy mouthfeel with some backend tannins. As the evening wore on, the fruit profile darkened and the wine deepened. It also grew a bit softer on the palate. Very young, but still delicious. (2281 views) | | | Tasted by Dsen on 7/13/2013 & rated 93 points: probably the best bottle of the 2006 i have had. Fruit was more prominent, good depth and balance (1976 views) | | | Tasted by Dsen on 6/8/2013 & rated 90 points: good complexity and balance, could have better fruit concentration (1179 views) | | | Tasted by Dsen on 5/18/2013 & rated 91 points: the last bottle of this I had was slightly corked. this wasnt and went well with roast pork. good structure to age, fruit not as prominant as the 2008 (1047 views) | | | Tasted by Dsen on 5/4/2013 & rated 92 points: opened well and showed complexity and balance. (784 views) | | | Tasted by Dsen on 4/30/2013 & rated 93 points: well balanced and long, not the fruit concentration of the 08 but complex after it opened up (793 views) |

Benoit Germain was the winemaker at Chateau du Chorey in Beaune until his very sad and untimely passing in December 2010. His impeccably-made wines are fresh, aromatic and focused, and have a history of ageing very well.
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.Teurons On weinlagen-infoFrance 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
