| Tasted by jviz on 6/4/2022 & rated 91 points: This bottle was served blind, great intensity of acids, starting to oxidize with notes of butterscotch. Still good fruit presence but I don’t see it improving from here. The perception of acid was intense here. Time to drink up as I don’t think it will hold balance forever. (573 views) | |
| Tasted by pavel_p on 8/29/2021 & rated 91 points: Pnp and drank over 1h or so. Started off with some notes of sulphur so was surprised to see that this is 2010. After the wine settled, a bit too rich and heavy for me, there is citrus but also orange peel, some oak. Prefer more minerality and freshness. (775 views) | |
| Tasted by dbkitc on 3/31/2016 & rated 92 points: (at Herbsaint - NOLA) Delicious and serious Chardonnay with citrus lift to go with good fruit richness. Should age well. (92) (1618 views) | |

(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. Burgundy Report | Les Grands Jours de Bourgogne - na stejné téma od Heleny Baker # 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 BeauneCôte de Beaune (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) Vineyard maps on weinlagen.info Meursault 1er CruAll climats of Meursault on weinlagen-info |
