| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.5 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 14 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by swfc on 1/26/2024 & rated 93 points: Lovely fruit and acid balance. Hints of cloves and Asian spices. Perfect with roast pork. This is absolutely singing right now, and I would say in a perfect place. Such an excellent showing for a '13 marsannay. Very well done. (214 views) | | | Tasted by Vinumming & Ahhing on 10/27/2023 & rated 91 points: Burgundy WIMPS #170 27th October 2023 (La Trompette, Chiswick): Cool cark fruits on the nose and a slug of dissolved SO2. After pouring between glasses for a while this develops some real depth. There are touches of Oolong tea, some goji berries and layers of dark fruits. Palate is rich with a lovely peppery acidity. My wine of the flight. (507 views) | | | Tasted by Duncan on 4/14/2023 & rated 87 points: Notes similar to last time, with acidity and tannin more to the fore, fruit even further to the rear. Disappointing. (410 views) | | | Tasted by Duncan on 10/7/2022 & rated 90 points: Medium ruby, translucent; no sign of age. A fairly muted nose, which I can only describe as 'smelling like village Burgundy.' On the palate it's light to medium-bodied; there are fine tannins and a reasonable amount of acidity, but quite a lot of briary fruits to bring a welcome generosity. I suspect this would have been a stunner three or four years ago, but I'm enjoying it very much tonight. It's not a wow wine, but it has character - Marsannay character - as well as providing pleasure. Cork, 13%. (525 views) | | | Tasted by OneForTheStairs on 8/9/2020: Just lovely. Seemed perfectly in balance. Just enough acidity to prop up the raspberry and cherry. Bit of kirsch in there too. Tannins supersmooth but nothing sickly about it. Perfect with a huge poached trout and Russian salad on a hot night in the garden. Wife in transports! (That has to be good). To my mind this is why i buy Burgundy - i am not a big spender so this is no 'cellar defender' for me - but it is miles more enjoyable than the 'Tay raspberry' version of Burg the WSUK buyers describe for the much more acidic notch below this one. (As you can tell, i am no expert, but if i enjoy a wine i like to say so :) ). (1095 views) | | | Tasted by OneForTheStairs on 5/25/2020: Didn't take notes, and I am not a big Burgundy drinker. But this was good, fuller than many of the cheaper burgundies, with a pleasant perfume, and went well with grilled pork chop. Very glad i have a few more. (1147 views) | | | Tasted by Dolomiti on 5/15/2020 & rated 92 points: Red fruit in the nose, spicy and aromatic, medium bodied with integrated acidity. A long finish, needs a lot of air! (949 views) | | | Tasted by t.c.green on 1/2/2019 & rated 90 points: Pinot based, nice with Steelhead, for Katy's bday.
Not made for stronger foods. (1431 views) | | | Tasted by PMJak11 on 6/17/2018 & rated 86 points: My first Father's Day!! I rarely drink red burgundy/pinot noir, but I am trying to expand my horizons in everything while living in London.
Nose has plums, amaretto, cinnamon, and chartreuse. Very little fruit and lacks depth. I knew this wasn't powerful based on the store owner's recommendation, but this is beyond what I thought he meant.
My exploring continues and is bound for some bumps! (1409 views) | | | Tasted by bigberrypicker on 6/3/2017 & rated 88 points: Light and fine-boned, probably needs a few years to come into its own though. Nose of menthol and blackberry.
Try again in a year or so (1463 views) | | | Tasted by Brentw1 on 10/29/2016: Opened to decide whether to continue whether to collect this and the answer is definitely yes! (1488 views) | | | Tasted by MattGeneve on 6/4/2016 & rated 90 points: Dark crimson with some purple in the rim. Fresh black and red fruits on the nose. Sweet fruit on the nose. Lovely sweet and piercing fruit on the palate. Good streak of acidity but in perfect balance with the fruit and alcohol. Really very moreish, something i remember from my first bottle of this. Yum and i would like to try this in further vintages. (1521 views) |
| 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.Les LongeroiesThere is Bas des Longeroies and Dessus des Longeroies on weinlagen.info.

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
