| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.7 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 66 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by oxwombat on 8/12/2023 & rated 90 points: Opened in Hong Kong. Double decanted and then breathed for about 30 minutes before being served blind.
This performed really well - some guests were guessing Gevrey or Morey initially but with a bit of air in the glass it started opening up and showing the Chambolle floral, mineral character and blossomed wonderfully.
Really good village and has reaffirmed my opinion that Barthod wines need time. If you have their bottles make sure you give them at least 10 years and enough air!
As for this particular bottle, I imagine it will hold at this level for a few years yet, but I think it's in a wonderful spot, so don't hesitate to drink up. (1475 views) | | | Tasted by lozatron on 1/1/2023 flawed bottle: New Years Eve (Dinner at ours): Something not quite right here - cooked? This comes with perfect provenance and was shipped only recently so maybe some sort of bacterial problem in the bottle? Definitely something porty, and the middle of the wine just kind of falls out. (1484 views) | | | Tasted by Frijole on 9/11/2022: medium burgundy red, lots of clarity, slight brickish hue
Nose: raspberry, plum, coffee, orange, leather, tar, juniper berries, black pepper, clove, smoke, minerals, oak
Pal: raspberry, plum, coffee, orange rind, leather, tar, juniper beers, black pepper, smoke, minerals, fine tannins, oak
Feel: medium, astringent
Finish: medium, long
TC9 (1909 views) | | | Tasted by Forest Floor on 11/14/2021 & rated 90 points: Seeking Terroir; Comparing village Chambolle and Vosne: Bigger expression of Chambolle than the Felletig '11, with nice C-M characteristics. May need more time, as it drank a bit on the simple side, even in this company. (2335 views) | | | Tasted by chablis28 on 9/10/2021 & rated 93 points: Drinking beautifully! This has come a long ways since my more austere first btl 7yrs ago. Opened 2hrs prior to dinner & slow-oxed in Riedel Burg glasses & btl. Semi translucent ruby red. Enticing deep aromas of cherry, roses, spice & emerging forest floor. I could have been happy with my nose in the glass all night but the palate was equally lovely with Chambolle lace and layers of sappy, mineral infused dark & red fruit, spice and again hints of forest floor. The harmony here is nearly worlds class. The style seems to stake out its own middle ground between Mugnier & Roumier while leaving no doubt your enjoying all the grace Chambolle can offer. Loved it! Ready now but I'll open my last btl around 2024+ (2723 views) | | | Tasted by MJReb on 4/29/2021 & rated 91 points: Mainly red fruit, spices and herbs, soil and also saline elements, dense wine with good length, perfectly in it’s drinking window. Very good, punching above its class, but has not the level of the great 2010. (2600 views) | | | Tasted by GNBB on 3/13/2021 & rated 91 points: Decanted 30 minutes. Great nose with fresh lavender, rosemary, wild strawberry and clear secondary notes of truffle. Palate is deep with delightful stemy rosemary, a gentle but clear tannic grip and well balanced acidity. Long persistence. A very fine Chambolle villages which is drinking well now but will last & show more forest floor as it develops. Drink now-2025. (2601 views) | | | Tasted by GNBB on 12/13/2020 & rated 91 points: Decanted 45 minutes. The nose is singing - really good with lots of truffle, rosemary, some aniseed and some background blackberry. Palate is intense with a real freshness (good acid) and very fine integrated tannins matching up with some super sous bois, truffle, thyme there. This wine is absolutely ideal now. A delightful & classic Burgundy from this wonderful producer. Drink now-2024. (2712 views) | | | Tasted by Will Devize on 10/4/2020 & rated 88 points: Subdued and reticent. Shutdown phase. Revisit in 2024. (2321 views) | | | Tasted by kevin h on 6/29/2020 & rated 92 points: So much better than a year ago. Youthful but very approachable. Fruit driven, ripe and just lovely. (2508 views) | | | Tasted by Frijole on 4/8/2020: light plum red, lots of clarity, brickish hue
Nose: strawberry, raspberry, chocolate, earth, violets, lavender, vanilla, clove, minerals, tart tannins, oak
Pal: strawberry, raspberry, dirt, vanilla, dark chocolate, earth, clove, white pepper, rose petals, rosemary, stem, fine tannins, oak
Feel: medium, savory
Finish: long
TC9 (2172 views) | | | Tasted by jyensan on 3/29/2020 & rated 91 points: Wonderful wine. Fully mature. Bright red and slightly darker fruits. Smooth tannins and nice acidity. Well-balanced and went excellent with grilled chicken Caesar salad! (2060 views) | | | Tasted by GNBB on 3/28/2020 & rated 92 points: [H] Clear truffle & mushroom, sous bois on the nose; very ripe raspberries with a little orange blossom. Palate is wonderfully mature with real balance and poise - good acidity and very gentle, fine tannins - along with some fresh raspberry fruits & some light rosewater. Very appealing - drinking very well now and will age for a few more years. Drink now-2024. (1886 views) | | | Tasted by GNBB on 12/28/2019 & rated 90 points: Decanted 45 minutes. Light nose with violets, wild strawberries and an attractive touch of truffle. Very appealing. Palate is medium weight with light fine tannins and a gentle acidity. Develops well in the mouth with good persistency; very light red cherry fruits with lavender undertones. Wine is starting to feel fully mature and I will be looking to start to drink them with a slightly accelerated pace. Very good though. Drink now-2021. (2097 views) | | | Tasted by Hermosabritdad on 12/6/2019 & rated 92 points: Drinking so well right now. Don’t know if this was just a particularly good bottle, but enjoyed it more than I have before. Is medium ruby in color, and shows medium legs. To start with nose was a fairly simple red fruit of raspberry. But after 30 to 40 minutes is really started to gain in complexity. Black fruit of blackberry, and then some lovely spice notes, sage, and even some meaty aromas. All very subtle but lovely all the same. And taste was also in a great place. Still some tannins present, but the chewy ones I like! Warming, so alcohol is coming through. And even shows a medium level finish - Certainly longer that before. Overall the best I have had of this wine. Wish I had bought more when I first got it. (1957 views) | | | Tasted by dbkitc on 8/7/2019 & rated 91 points: Awfully good for its level. This wine is loaded with mature cherry fruit yet maintains a lovely sense of balance and harmony. A perky finish ends things on a very fine note. Great transparency. Superb - love this producer. (91) (2350 views) | | | Tasted by kevin h on 7/17/2019 & rated 90 points: Drinking well and typical to type. Still fruit forward with fragrant charm. Needs a bit more time. (2253 views) | | | Tasted by Pancreatitis on 6/12/2019: Light cerise. Subtle perfume. Light, high acid palate, still some tannin, initially complex floral perfumes, bright red fruits, subsequent to an hour a predominantly mineral wine. Still a bit closed and young, but the elegance shines through. One for more patience. (2330 views) | | | Tasted by winotang on 4/14/2019 & rated 92 points: PNP. Wine initially closed but opened up after 15 minutes in the glass. Ripe & intense nose of strawberries. On the palate, intense red fruits. Really lovely. Fine tannins with decent acidity. An excellent village wine. Enjoy it now. (2235 views) | | | Tasted by GNBB on 3/16/2019 & rated 90 points: Ripe & intense nose with strawberry, light truffle, violet - real farmyard undertones. Delicious. Palate is intense in flavour but light and fresh. Good fine tannins with a light acidity. Showing tart cherries with real truffle notes. Slight drying tannins. A very good village Chambolle with lovely weight and balance. Lacking a little persistence and secondary notes on the palate. Good. Drink now-2021. (2212 views) | | | Tasted by Hermosabritdad on 1/19/2019 & rated 88 points: This bottle was light tonight, lacking in an interesting nose and not a lot of structure it seemed to me. (2182 views) | | | Tasted by petec-s on 11/3/2018 & rated 92 points: Lovely old school Burgundy. Light and funky with brilliant appetising acidity, autumn forest floor, sour cherry and composted flowers. Pure clean wine, fine tannin and some length. (2390 views) | | | Tasted by gouldcampbell77 on 8/7/2018 & rated 87 points: Very pretty colour and lovely nose of wild strawberries. A bit thin on the palate though. Don't get me wrong, this is very nice for a village wine but I think the fruit is fading. Not as plush as it was four years ago. Drink up. (2625 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 7/10/2018: Light ruby. Devastating aromas of strawberry, cherry, and soil-in a word, Burgundy! Medium weight (i.e., not the most delicate Chambolle on the block). Fine fruit/soil mix with a drop of green and excellent acidity. Hard to ask for more from village wine and not a bit too ripe. This has been a joy on every occasion. (2892 views) | | | Tasted by MJReb on 3/9/2018 & rated 92 points: Red and black fruit, cloves, spicy, good length, in the drinking window, develops dramatically in the glass towards more volume, very nice wine, punching far above village level.

| 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
Côte de Nuits on weinlagen.infoChambolle-MusignyChambolle-Musigny is one of the smallest appellations of the Côte de Nuits, although given the tiny, fragmented nature of Burgundy vineyards, it manages to fit two exceptional Grand Crus (Bonnes Mares and Le Musigny) and a couple of dozen Premieres Crus. These wines are known for delicacy and tend to be light in body, but concentrated and with fragrant bouquets. The critic Robert M. Parker Jr. quotes French poet Gaston Roupnel as likening the region's wines to "silk and lace." |
