| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.8 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 18 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Pinotnut on 2/13/2018 & rated 90 points: Typical for the vintage, but good with food. (1711 views) | | | Tasted by Cote d'Or on 9/8/2016: PopnPour, tasted over 2 hrs, bottle from secondary market
-med dark red minimal bricking
-quite pretty aromatics with warm earth brambly red fruit wet stone early hints of sweet decaying forest floor
-med/med+ acidity kicks in near the finish, med weight expansive on the palate with good depth if lacking a bit on complexity, some somber dark red fruits and bitter apple peel on a mostly soil base, med but soft tannins on long-ish finish
-drinking very well now on its plateau in early maturity, nose currently outshines the palate, I would expect this to continue drinking well for another 5-10 years and might even improve slightly if it gains complexity while further shedding tannins (1987 views) | | | Tasted by Pinotnut on 3/4/2015 & rated 91 points: Ditto last note. (2654 views) | | | Tasted by Pinotnut on 2/23/2014 & rated 91 points: Ditto last note. Used for ceremony. (3121 views) | | | Tasted by BailliSacks on 1/12/2013 & rated 90 points: Quite nice, not amazing. Soft, light bodied. The nose and front palate very perfumed,. Taste also led with acid. Relatively short finish. Wants food, but easily overwhelmed. (3966 views) | | | Tasted by Paul D on 6/26/2012: Burgundy WIMPS (The Ledbury, Notting Hill, London): Lovely aromatic nose, strawberries, spice, floral notes. Light/medium bodied on the palate, attractive strawberry fruit, fine integrated tannins, good fresh acidity, notes of earth on the gentle but lingering finish. Very good. (4020 views) | | | Tasted by Pinotnut on 4/24/2011 & rated 91 points: Beautiful out of mag. Ready to go with some air for the rest of the case. (3444 views) | | | Tasted by br on 1/31/2011: has put on lots of weight since last year. very rich texture, berry and fruit flavors have matured a bit. just entering a good 10 - 15 year drinking window. lovely. (2577 views) | | | Tasted by simonj on 1/16/2011 & rated 88 points: Subtle, even to the extend of being too lightweight. Quite pleasant all the same. Not likely to improve however. (2161 views) | | | Tasted by lepetitchateau on 11/9/2010 & rated 92 points: Nice clarity, good strawberry nose. Prett and tender delicacy on the palate, classic wine, good concentration and balance but will require more time. (1702 views) | | | Tasted by bdelancy on 4/26/2010 & rated 91 points: Very good wine. A much lighter and more elegant wine than I expected. Initially a little closed, but opened up nicely over the evening. (1853 views) | | | Tasted by simonj on 3/13/2010 flawed bottle: Bloody thing was corked. I hope the rest of the case are better. (1826 views) | | | Tasted by calnative on 12/23/2009 & rated 91 points: softer elegant Corton. This one had very nice lively red fruits, good structure, and nice minerality in the finish. Very enjoyable bottle and I really like it now with the fruit showing so well... (1996 views) | | | Tasted by dbkitc on 7/1/2009 & rated 89 points: (at Corton – NYC) Corton at Corton – seemed appropriate. Pretty good bottle. Soft cherry fruit that developed a nice velvet texture with 60 minutes air time. The finish was a bit short and did not quite have the presence I would have liked. A gentle Grand Cru that did match well with the very good food. (89) (2013 views) | | | Tasted by AndrewSGHall on 4/15/2009: (WD-50) Suprisingly open and expressive. Minerally core with saucy fruits and mossy elements. Primary. Currants and a rocky / velvet texture which is incipient Corton. Did really well with the wild array of flavors in Wylie's dishes.

U.S. Importer (Addt'l Info)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
