| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.1 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 21 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Petit amateur on 12/24/2022 & rated 92 points: Excellent Bourgogne qui a séduit tout le monde à table. Tout en légèreté et d’une complexité subtile, robe grenat briquée, au nez arômes de fruits rouges et de parfums floraux, traces d’oranges, de champignons, de cannelle. En bouche c’est feutré, élégant, les arômes s’y retrouvent et s’y fondent en un ensemble envoûtant. Un Bourgogne qui évoque la forêt, l’automne. Un vin fin, bien à point, à boire sans hésiter. Conseillé par Michel Beauchamp il y a dix ans. Bu trois jours avant son départ. (Paix à son âme). (436 views) | | | Tasted by Barks on 7/2/2020 & rated 90 points: Very nice wine. It certainly improved over the hour or so it took to drink it. Which presumably means it might improve with a few more years. But drinking very nicely now. Will certainly give it a longer decant next time (we tucked straight into this one!) (1186 views) | | | Tasted by collin on 3/10/2020: No formal notes, but I really enjoyed this. While I thought this a bit straightforward / linear, it had a perfect texture which made the whole thing a joy to drink. I'm guessing more time will bring out more nuance, but it's worth drinking now. (1235 views) | | | Tasted by Winefeld on 2/13/2020 & rated 94 points: Pale ruby colour. Exotic nose of sandalwood, hibiscus, lavender, rose pedal, cinnamon, rubber, Earth and Swiss cheese. Flavours of cranberry, dried cherry, orange zest, leather, hide and bitters. Sharp, high-toned acidity gives way to a firm mid-pallet and lengthy finish. Entering its peak phase but will hold nicely for 7-10 years. (1265 views) | | | Tasted by WineKen on 11/1/2019 & rated 89 points: Bought in burgundy in 2017.
Nice aged chambolle. brick red in colour, still some red fruit left, slightly gamey and taste of undergrowth, light body and smooth in the mouth.
Overall not bad. drink up. (1288 views) | | | Tasted by peterchoy on 12/14/2017 & rated 90 points: Appearance: Bright and clear, it has light to light/medium ruby color, with fading rims and legs.
Nose: Clean, with medium intensity aromas of red fruit of strawberry and ripe cherries, floral notes of violet, sweet spice of clove and cinnamon, herbaceous notes of cut hay, kernel notes of roasted almond. The wine is youthful.
Palate: Dry with medium (+) acidity, the wine has medium tannin of ripe and velvety texture, medium alcohol, medium body and medium (+) intensity flavors of red fruit of cherry and raspberry, black fruit of plum, kernel notes of roasted almond. The wine has a medium finish.
Conclusion: Good quality Chambolle-Musigny with a reasonably intense nose of decent complexity, the wine is elegant, showing good finesse and demonstrating the characteristics of the village. It has nice freshness with the acidity in good balance with the fruit and the velvety tannin, on top of good concentration of the palate and a decent finish. It is ready to drink now but can benefit from further ageing of another 2-3 years. (2231 views) | | | Tasted by swapdoc on 8/27/2017: Flinty nose, oak, strawberry sweetness combined with lemony tartness and minerality. Hint of almost smoky, volcanic soil. Watermelon, lemon rind finish. Good. (1665 views) | | | Tasted by CHINACAT on 4/8/2017 & rated 88 points: Initially some funk on the nose, but it faded away and berry aromas came through. On the palate, ripe red fruit, some minerality and elegance, but a rather harsh acidic finish. Perhaps this wine needs a bit more time to gain better balance. (1876 views) | | | Tasted by Rezy13 on 8/27/2016 & rated 91 points: Now this is Burgundy, the complexity compared to the doppelgänger from OR couldn't hang with this even though price wasn't too far away, mineral, taut sour cherry, slight watermelon note said 2010, a certain plushness led me to call Vosne village; still a baby this is definitely 90+ point material. (2382 views) | | | Tasted by -E- on 2/19/2016 & rated 90 points: Klar dyp rød med svakt falmet kant. Friske bringebær, granataple og mild dyrepels på nese. Hint av roseblader.
Slank, spenstig og transparent, rødbærspreget frukt med flott nerve. Moderat konsentrasjon. Frisk, spisset syre. Finkornede, milde tanniner. Lett grapefruktbitterhet i finish med god lengde. Drikker flott nå. (2604 views) | | | Tasted by Moterani1981 on 8/22/2015 & rated 90 points: Great wine, still rather unevolved, lots of sour cherry/strawberry. Opened nicely after 1 hour. (2114 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 2/25/2015: From the cork pull its still rather un-evolved. A great vintage to say the least. Depp but light on the palate, Obviously of amazing breed. Incredibly long finish. Probably needs at least five more years. (2303 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 9/19/2014: Coming along nicely I would say, just opened. (1713 views) | | | Tasted by astroman on 9/19/2014: Slightly funky but very nice on the palate. Good depth. Beautiful acid and finish. (2053 views) | | | Tasted by rsbeck on 8/21/2013 & rated 89 points: Straight ahead four square Pinot flavors, not particularly complex, but tasty and distinguished by refreshing bright acidity. (2086 views) | | | Tasted by johnh1001 on 8/15/2013 & rated 89 points: I didn't know that Pousse d' Or made a Chambolle. Initially very forward nose of cherries and strawberries. Sweet and ripe but simple on the palate. Took on much more minerality with time and the sweetness faded. (1620 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 2/6/2013: Noticeably richer than the Volnay 60. More sweet raspberry fruit but still in the Pousse style -- lively, very wonderful stuff. (1854 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 3/21/2012: Pousse d'Or Cellar Visit and Tasting (Volnay): Tasting at Domaine. Bright red cherry aromas. Same bright, tart red cherry on palate with a linear, straightforward, slightly simple finish. (2269 views) |
| La Pousse d'Or 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.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." |
