| Community Tasting Notes (average 92 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 10 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by swyang on 12/29/2021: A splendid wine on a splendid vintage. Gorgeous color, gorgeous scents of flowers, fruits, terroir and showing us the time that it has traveled. It has many, many years ahead, but this was our last bottle, alas. However with all beautiful things of like it leaves us a great memory of a truly dignified, deeply rooted, and proudly standing Clos Vougeot with all qualities of a Grand Cru Burgundy can provide. Fully open, and ready to be enjoyed, many years ahead. That was gorgeous. Cheers, (607 views) | | | Tasted by swyang on 5/15/2018: This wine was surpassing my expectation. First of all I have reluctant feelings about Clos Vougeot with its tag all together as it is too big and its soils too different and the angles vis a vis of Sun so irregular and about 80 domaines making CV... so in short not one ever moved me nor had a distant style of CV, which I am still figuring out. However this bottle at this stage of development was rather a surprise as it had a good depth closer to Bonnes Mares, I would say, and while profound, it had nice nuances, which were for sure different than Chambolle or GC Musigny, just above it. Certainly not the brightest of cotes de nuits however it had a seriousness and dignity and the shades coming along were fully appreciated. Still full of fruits, though fading away to let the finer and subtle words express what it really has in its soul... Subtle bricking at the rim, and tertiary elements will soon surface and it should be at its peak in about another 3~4 years, in my humble opinion. Cheers (1212 views) | | | Tasted by Collector1855 on 2/12/2018 & rated 90 points: Clos de Vougeot 2002 Horizontal: Clearly riper style, plum, torrefaction aromas. Unusual aroma profile but not uninteresting if you like such fuller style. Unfortunately there is a drying finish pointing towards over extraction. Aroma 92. Palate 88. (2106 views) | | | Tasted by Paul S on 2/12/2018 & rated 90 points: NDG 2002 Clos de Vougeot Dinner (Summer Pavilion, Ritz Carlton, Singapore): This had a lovely nose, really earthy and loamy, with toasted oak, wood spice and dark fruit underneath. The palate was a shift in gear though. It still had the freshness of the vintage, but there was marked sense of oak and extraction on it, coming out in almost bittersweet notes at points, with bramble and dried orange peel notes twisted around a sweet, dark fruited core. Finish was a touch hollow, petering out in a linger of wood spice. There was some power, depth and length; balance was pretty good. Even then, this was decent rather than great - I felt it was overworked. (1480 views) | | | Tasted by swyang on 8/31/2013: Hum... this was a first of 3 bottles and at first it was very pretty, very promising upon opening and yet as the bottle went down, it showed less and less to be rather flat at the end... it wanted to be deep and yet was shallow and somewhat disjointed. Maybe a bit too young... will try again in a few years. (2538 views) | | | Tasted by rdsboca on 4/13/2013 & rated 94 points: Dark cherry profile with a silkiness that showed that great things are ahead of this wine. Forest floor and loam were in the background but added complexity. The purity of fruit was amazing. I kept wanting to go back to this wine. It was tough following the DRC Richebourg but it was a great example of adolescent Burgundy. (2308 views) | | | Tasted by Frank Murray III on 1/27/2013: Drank next to an 06 Bouchard Enfant Jesus, which I preferred over this Vougeot. Bigger framed wine here, with juicy black cherry and a nice woodsy spice note in the aromatic. Denser texture than the Jesus and seemed more new world in tone. (2213 views) | | | Tasted by brigcampbell on 1/26/2013: Dinner with Friends (FMIII in the OC): Sorry Baby Jesus, I liked this one better! Full disclosure: all at the table except me preferred Baby Jesus. This is a bigger, bolder wine from the start and medium plus weight. California pinot dark color with dark cherry and tart raspberry aromas and flavor. Still really young, firm tannins and a drying finish. Great wine. (2366 views) | | | Tasted by Edclr on 8/12/2012 & rated 94 points: One awesome 02 CV....beautifully balanced, ready to drink now believe it or not. Nose jumped right out of the glass, and it took on more weight and texture as it opened. I expected this to be much more closed just because of the producer. (2053 views) |

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
