Community Tasting Notes (average 89.3 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 38 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by jamesabdavis on 3/2/2024: Consistent with previous notes. This is quite polished. (250 views)
 Tasted by jamesabdavis on 10/29/2023: Consistent with my previous note but I notice dark cherry fruit a bit more. This has a gorgeous texture and is more svelte than the crunchy Cathiard I had the other day. (437 views)
 Tasted by probraided on 8/13/2023: Cork soaked through, but no impact on the wine. Dark ruby, no sign of bricking. A bit shy on the nose initially, but opens up (dark berries) with time in the glass. Rich palate, good density. Dark fruited, Vosne spice, excellent acidic balance. Medium+ finish. Outperforms its level. No rush to drink, should easily maintain its current properties for at least another 5 years. (507 views)
 Tasted by jamesabdavis on 6/29/2023: Sexy nose, blueberry and raspberry fruit with a herbal touch, oak presence. Oak spice. Bit of cola.
Not super-expressive initially on the palate but with lovely freshness and tension. Quite concentrated, especially for the level. With a bit of air the fruit comes more to the fore. Not-quite integrated oak on the finish.
Gorgeous, will hit its absolute peak in coupe of years I suspect. (566 views)
 Tasted by jamesabdavis on 3/13/2022: Fresh and complex nose with minerals and herbs (mint) to the fore, pure strawberry and blueberry fruit underneath.
Elegant on the palate with superb balance. Perhaps a touch under-ripe.
Nice dry tannic finish.
Gorgeous and will get better. (992 views)
 Tasted by CamWheeler on 7/1/2020 & rated 90 points: SLDS July 2020 - Re-United: Truffle, cherry and red floral notes. Red tinged fruit on the palate, with good acid and a nice spicy character to the fruit. In a really nice place. (1861 views)
 Tasted by AJ72 on 5/19/2020 & rated 90 points: Holding up really nicely. I think I had this a few years ago and din't like it as much as I did tonight. Lovely sweet fruit still showing with some Vosne spice. In a great spot and drinks beautifully. (1683 views)
 Tasted by collin on 2/5/2020: Wet cork (soaked through; a lot of seepage) and note similar to reviewer below who noted same thing (1732 views)
 Tasted by Puteljen! on 1/26/2020 & rated 89 points: Nice nose with lots of fresh red berries, some clay, clove and hints of bay leaf. On the palate quite elegant, fresh and acidic with some tannin. Sour berries - lingonberries, cranberries and barley ripe raspberries. Structured, borderline thin. Some earthy minerals and just hints of spice. Medium lenght. Nice, but would have liked just a bit more substance to the midpalate and finish. (1606 views)
 Tasted by mrsmerton on 11/10/2019: Wet cork. Dark fruit, woodland, not oxidised not singing. (1199 views)
 Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 6/25/2019 flawed bottle: Birthday bash tasting (Convivial - Washington, DC): Corked - damn. (1394 views)
 Tasted by asheio on 11/19/2018 & rated 90 points: Some development, but still young, Wait 2-3 years. (1327 views)
 Tasted by Cote d'Or on 7/29/2018 flawed bottle: Bottle was from Premier Cru. Lot of VA, a little bit oxidized, no reason to drink. (1536 views)
 Tasted by BillyT on 6/14/2018 & rated 90 points: While nothing spectacular it is well made and a great table Burgundy wine. Nose of smoke, blood and cherry fruit. Good spice on the palette and mushroom and must. Sour cherries as well on the rear palate during finish. Balanced acidity and integrated tannins. (1659 views)
 Tasted by Rollerball on 3/22/2018 & rated 89 points: Hudelot-Noellat, a Favorite Producer (The Wolf, Oakland): A floral, slightly angular nose. Smooth and gentle in body and spice with a premature finish. Approachable, substantive, and unobtrusive, especially as compared to the 2010 Hudelot-Noellat (same vintage and producer) Chambolle-Musigny. Drinking great now -2024 (1814 views)
 Tasted by soyhead on 3/22/2018: nose - red cherry
mouth - powerful and smooth with a long sour finish. regal though not really exciting. I much preferred the rustic charm of the H-N 2010 C-M village wine. (1651 views)
 Tasted by Burgundy Al on 2/17/2017 & rated 88 points: Lots of bright red fruit with Asian five spice. An overall lighter style, while nicely elegant. Moderate weight and length are still very good for Villages level. Very good now through 2025. (3015 views)
 Tasted by 5laton on 4/15/2016: Cork badly streaked with wine as is typical for 2010 HN. Some dissolved CO2. Last bottle of this was a little advanced and fairly incredible for its level, but this one is alas utterly closed up. Over several days, could not coax this past the 'tannic water' stage. Baffling. (454 views)
 Tasted by 5laton on 2/19/2016: Wow, this is straight up delicious. Beautiful red and blue fruits, asian spices, kombu, soft midsection and medium acid. Amazingly soft and drinkable for such a young villages, perhaps due to the seepage issues with this vintage at HN. No complaints here, I will power through remaining bottles of these in no time. (442 views)
 Tasted by cookie7 on 12/1/2015: From another leaking bottle. Asian spice and soy on the nose. Very well balanced, lots of red fruits building to a powerful finish. Great village level. (4085 views)
 Tasted by Claret & CdP Gang on 8/2/2015 & rated 91 points: Color: medium red
Nose: spicy and red cherries, really interesting with air
Palate: lovely freshness, lively, a lovely Pinot with solid balance and elegance
Rating: 91 (4021 views)
 Tasted by Claret & CdP Gang on 6/5/2015 & rated 90 points: Color: medium red
Nose: a spicy nose, I liked the Hudelot chambolle bouquet more,
Palate: drunk alongside 2010 Hudelot chambolle musigny, medium bodied, a lovely village, seepage thru entire cork
Rating: 90 (4054 views)
 Tasted by paolonardi on 9/17/2014 & rated 89 points: Apritelo prima, ci vuole un po' di aria per uscire dalla sua tesa stretta acida e minerale di arancia e sale. Poi il frutto si addolcisce e la territorialità speziata e fumosa, anche se timida, si concede insieme ad una bella sensazione floreale. La bocca è buona fin da subito, bello il sottile tannino, sferzante l'acidità agrumata, dolce il finale floreale. Freschissimo e di media persistenza, oggi sposerebbe bene uno stinco di maiale. Sarei curioso di seguirne l'evoluzione tra 3/4 anni. (4913 views)
 Tasted by D Brown on 3/13/2014 & rated 90 points: Unassumingly fragrant with rose and decaying apple skins. Balanced but less expressive on palate. Supple with light red fruit and quite transparent - quite recognisable from the HR's EP tasting 2 years ago. (4333 views)
 Tasted by peterchoy on 11/17/2013 & rated 87 points: Appearance: Bright and clear, this wine is of light ruby color, with legs.
Nose: Clean, the nose shows medium intensity aromas of red fruit such as raspberry and red cherry, sweet spice of cloves, hints of maturity notes of savory, mineral notes of earth. The wine is youthful.
Palate: Dry with medium (+) acidity, with medium (-) tannin of silky texture, the wine has medium alcohol and medium (-) body. Medium intensity with flavors of red fruit such as red cherry and raspberry, sweet spice of nutmeg, some maturity notes of savory, the wine has a medium (+) finish.
Conclusion: Acceptable quality Vosne-Romanee with a reasonable intensity on the nose though a bit on the simple side, the wine is a bit closed down and on the palate the acidity is a bit high, but fortunately the flavors overall is still fair in concentration. The finish is quite long, but definitely this wine needs more time to reveal its true potential and too young. (3476 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.

Burgundy

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

Vosne-Romanée

Vosne Romanée is one of the smallest wine villages in Burgundy. The wines possess diverse characteristics, but they can generally be considered to have complexity and longevity beyond nearly all other wines in the world. The village has six grand crus: Romanée-Conti, La Romanée, La Tâche, Richebourg, Romanée-Saint-Vivant, and La Grande Rue. While there is monopoly control of four of the six grand crus, the village has at least forty growers sharing its vineyards. The top premier cru includes Les Malconsorts, Cros Parantoux, Les Chaumes, and Clos des Réas.
