| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.6 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 24 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 3/11/2022 & rated 91 points: La Paulée de New York - The Verticals (Eventi Hotel - New York NY): Walk around tasting vertical. Very balanced start, slightly more firm middle-to-finish, but overall at a good place now. Seemingly less ripe than most 2006s. (1755 views) | | | Tasted by abbulf on 5/19/2020 flawed bottle: Slightly corked. Otherwise in good shape (1856 views) | | | Tasted by Kurtjo on 4/16/2020 & rated 92 points: Silkemyk moden frukt med lang saftig punch. Hadde fortjent en fjellrype. (1752 views) | | | Tasted by Pknut on 6/11/2018: Inviting aromatics on the nose. The entry is very smooth and uncomplicated, the fruit very pure. Y gets a hint of coffee. This is silky and lacy textured, the palate very pure, round and smooth. Lovely now with air, but should develop complexities with time. My contribution to dinner at Racines with Yaacov, Mike C. and Charles. (3326 views) | | | Tasted by AudunG on 4/14/2018 & rated 92 points: Old fashioned style, with a silky, but also somewhat restrained mouth feeling. Very intense fruit with a metallic touch. Long. Will last, and probably needs more cellaring. (2763 views) | | | Tasted by acyso on 5/13/2017 & rated 88 points: HDH auction tasting at Tru (Chicago, IL): This shows a little bit of that characteristic 2006 earthiness and geosmin (beet taint), but the nose and palate is surprisingly light, perhaps as the stereotypical hallmark of the house. The palate is also light, but shows a bit of earthiness and sweet red fruit. A bit thinner than I'd expect for a wine from this vineyard and vintage. (3975 views) | | | Tasted by Rechrom on 9/2/2016 & rated 93 points: Decanted one hour and consumed over the next three, best at the end. Earth and herbs and dark fruits on the nose. A full and complex palate that has some tannic bite. Lots of very nice stuff going on that should improve as the wine continues to age into balance. Very nice, interesting and fun to drink wit or without food. Should improve for several years. (3443 views) | | | Tasted by wkphang on 7/10/2016 & rated 89 points: Strawberries, not sweet or mineral. Early summer fruits.
A little stale at first so need decanting.
Opens up after 1 hour. (3477 views) | | | Tasted by cardsandwine on 4/25/2016: Simply superb wine from a rather average vintage. Enticing Burgundian nose with elegant ripe fruit on the palate and a fantastic finish. (2937 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 3/4/2016: The Verticals Tasting at La Paulée 2016 (The Fairmont, San Francisco): Magnum. Very pale. Herbal nose. Completely different than the '07-rounder, chunkier entry, backward black tinged fruit, spice, piquant acidity, and soil. In Corton terms, this is pretty fat; I enjoyed the drive and focus of the 2009 compared to this one. (2932 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 3/4/2016: La Paulée de San Francisco - The Verticals (The Fairmont - San Francisco CA): Tasting, brief note. From magnum. Black fruit comes across ripe with savory spice. Softer textures, I like where this is today, and would expect it to drink nicely for a decade+. (4006 views) | | | Tasted by Rechrom on 12/4/2015 & rated 93 points: Soft and pretty, especially for a Corton. Nice fruit, great nose, dances quickly on the palate so works very well with fish and subtle foods. Is in an excellent window right now, not clear that there is the depth for long aging, but the structure is good so maybe. (1593 views) | | | Tasted by capacious on 9/5/2015 & rated 90 points: We thought this fully mature. It's On the lighter side, you want to choose your food pairing thoughtfully, as this is the opposite of "hearty burgundy" I am not sure this has the ability to go much longer. Pure, focused, not a bowl of mixed fruits, but just a few, very well chosen. (1928 views) | | | Tasted by Rechrom on 4/30/2015 & rated 93 points: Decanted two hours. Bricking at the rim, mature color. Excellent nose of dark fruits, a bit of tar, some herbs. Nice full palate with tart cherry, some savory notes and a bit of licorice with nice length and a clean finish. Tannins present and drying on the finish, which detracts slightly. Good acidity. Can go for several more years, seems unlikely to do well in the very long term due to the drying tannins. Very good now. (1625 views) | | | Tasted by mattjohnson_78 on 2/7/2013: not going to rate at this point. this wine has a lot of potential though. very bright red fruits with very crisp almost citrius acid. the nose is almost there, but palate is still a little shy. i like where this wine is headed (3555 views) | | | Tasted by Kurtjo on 10/11/2012 & rated 89 points: Luftet 4-5 timer. Forferdelig fjøslukt. Sto i to dager. Deilige mørke bær og blomster. Lett likevel kraftig. 89p on day 3. (3269 views) | | | Tasted by xwine on 5/10/2012: Tasting at Domaine Chandon de Briailles and Maison Jadot (Savigny-lès-Beaune and Beaune): Intense berries on the nose, with a bit of a wildness to the aromas. The palate is fairly round, almost supple. (3985 views) | | | Tasted by pcwoz on 11/26/2011 & rated 92 points: Really lovely and well balanced. Nice complexity. Great with roast Mallard (3239 views) | | | Tasted by pereik on 5/28/2011 & rated 90 points: Pale red, with a tint that - wrongly - indicates some age. Beautiful nose with powerful wild strewberries and flowers reveals a pinot wine with good consentration. More tannic than i had expected, and with a medium+ acidity. The fruit corresponds well to the nose. Good lenght and consentration on the fruit. (3184 views) | | | Tasted by vespasian on 5/5/2009 & rated 89 points: Quite closed - savoury and meaty. Very mineral and complex; Good grip, very concentrated and a real baby. Big tannic finish. (2103 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
