| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.7 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 18 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by cephomer on 12/3/2023 & rated 93 points: Drank last nite with the boyz from Ancram at the Woodlands. Nose had a considerable amount of brett which no one seemed to mind--not my fave aroma, but considering the quality of the wine, was not hard to overlook. Wine is showing some bricking in the glass showing its age. This wine has a very definitive savory and earthy quality to it, which I enjoy. However, it also still possesses a very good amount of black fruit, along with some barnyard, forest floor and spice. Nice long finish too. Despite the brett, still enjoyed this wine quite a bit. (394 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 6/20/2023: There was some brett here which was off-putting to many. I found it a manageable level of brett that gave the wine some intrigue, but alas it shouldn't be there and therefore is a flaw. Great rich black cherry fruit and spice behind the brett. (645 views) | | | Tasted by The Bugle on 4/29/2023 & rated 93 points: Really outstanding. Delicate, light bodied, full, round rich red cherry taste. Full of life and energy. Just delicious. (424 views) | | | Tasted by jnewman77 on 7/19/2022: This was really good, better than my expectations by a fair amount; the nose was fresh and mineral driven with ripe red berry fruits, tons of crushed stone, floral, and orange peel. Super classic Chambolle for me. The palate has the lovely ripeness of 09 with good density, definitely 1er cru, but has better than expected freshness which gives it a saline hint on the finish. Super tasty. Makes me want to explore the more recent vintages. Paired great with roasted chicken. (808 views) | | | Tasted by cephomer on 12/22/2021 & rated 92 points: Drank last nite at CKH for AP 26th bday. Wine is showing its age in appearance and palate. Bricking at edges. Classic burg nose of dirty socks, earthy forest notes and mushrooms. Same on the palate, though still with a hint of cherry fruit. Earthy, savory, meaty note. Solid acidic core and mineral base. Very demonstrative of this wine's terroir. Classic aged Chambolle, though I would've liked a tad more fruit in the glass. Still very enjoyable with my duck. This wine would be an 'Uncle Ned' fave for sure! (907 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 8/21/2021 & rated 93 points: Sam's 60th Birthday (The Krengels - Bannockburn IL): Late night pop-and-pour. Absolutely glorious 1er Cru, showing mature red cherry, savory spice, faint meat notes and intense Chambolle mineral textures. Long and elegant finish. The previous two bottles I have tasted of this wine were flawed, including a stewy bottle from the same cellar as tonight's. (1595 views) | | | Tasted by tanduybui on 4/23/2021 & rated 89 points: Barnyard (or reductive) nose and took a fair while to reveal itself. Second half of its drinking window but this bottle was in an ok shape. Earthy, mushroom with a hint of cherry and strawberry, the body somehow never quite manage to integrate. A medium body that was a tad heavier than expected. Finish was unremarkable.
So not overly sold on this bottle. Drink now. (917 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 3/11/2021 flawed bottle: Chambolle Musigny "Southside" 1er Cru Tasting (Chicagoland IL): In Groffier Hauts-Doix vertical with an Amoureuses kicker. Bit stewed, 2nd bottle in a row that seems too tired, and from different sources. (1515 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 3/11/2021 flawed bottle: Chambolle Southside 1er (Zoom / Chicago): Tight, closed down and very clunky. Odd and must be off given the 05/10 served side-by-side were much different and better. (1247 views) | | | Tasted by The Bugle on 9/20/2020: Didn’t ever really come together for us, after one hour or after 24 hours. Not sure. Acidic, unremarkable . Similar to burgundy al’s notes ( though I don’t have nearly the skill he does). Disappointing, couldn’t figure it out (608 views) | | | Tasted by pbprice63 on 4/11/2020 & rated 96 points: I really liked this (737 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 4/19/2019 flawed bottle: Some Wine Before/During/After a Seder (The Krengels - Bannockburn IL): Seemed very tired, slightly oxidized, so possibly heat damaged. (1614 views) | | | Tasted by bugdoced on 12/2/2017: Has hit an early drinking window with tart cherries along with some integrated tannins
Years of life left (1845 views) | | | Tasted by AllRed on 1/2/2016 & rated 93 points: About a quarter of the bottle went unfinished on new year's eve so we brought it along to dinner with slipstitchpass and his fiancé. It has become much more Chambolle in character, showing an abundance of perfumed, floral qualities- rose, lavender and wild phlox- along with cherry and a subtle earthy clay-like quality that lurks underneath. Bright cherry fruit dominates the palate with spice and sour cherry qualities underneath. Balanced with a lengthy finish. I am very happy to have a couple more tucked away in the cellar. Enjoyable now with a healthy decant, but probably best to leave alone for a few years. Drink from 2020+. (3356 views) | | | Tasted by AllRed on 12/31/2015 & rated 93 points: Popped & poured a small taste and served a couple of hours later. Notes of strawberry jam, raspberry and herbs, with hints of orange and spice underneath. Cherry, spice and mineral notes on the palate; medium-bodied and elegant. Becomes more expressive and deep as the night wore on, adding notes of tea, clay and earth over the red fruit; gorgeous. The earthiness follows through on the palate. Lingering finish. (3075 views) | | | Tasted by onboisduvin on 8/18/2013 & rated 92 points: The wine looks Violet colored. The legs are Medium. It smells like Strawberry, Blueberry, Strawberry Jam, and Rose. It tastes like Mineral, and Oak. The body is Medium. The wine has Polished texture. The wine finishes Long. Aroma is fantastic and lasts very long. Beats les Sentiers 2010 by goffier. (4296 views) | | | Tasted by aagrawal on 11/5/2011 & rated 93 points: K&L Grand Burgundy Tasting (San Francisco): Super funky. Manure mixed with huge berries, flowers; palate has great fruit, tight structure, great balance. Excellent wine. 93++ (5566 views) | | | Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 11/5/2011 & rated 93 points: More 2009 Burgundies (K&L Wines, Redwood City, California): Medium ruby color with 1 millimeter clear meniscus; tart red fruit, tart cherry, baked strawberry nose with some stems; tight, appealing, complex, cherry, baked strawberry, mineral, baking powder palate; needs 6-7 years; medium-plus finish (1866 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.Les Hauts-Doix On weinlagen-infoFrance 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-Musigny 1er CruChambolle-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 fragrent bouquets. The critic Robert M. Parker Jr. quotes French poet Gaston Roupnel as likening the region's wines to "silk and lace."
----
Di Giancarlo marino: comunque. Les Noirottes è un cru situato quasi al centro di Chambolle, subito ad est di Bonnes Mares, ed è confinante tra gli altri con i 1er cru Les Baudes (segnalo quello di H. Lignier), Les Sentieres (segnalo quello di R. Groffier), e aux Beaux Bruns (molto citato dalla stampa quello di D. Mortet, io preferisco quello di Ghislaine Barthod). Pur essendo ben situato, questo 1er cru non mi risulta aver mai dato vini di particolare pregio. Per chi ama e cerca lo "spirito" vero di Chambolle, oltre allo scontato Les Amoureuses (notevoli quelli di De Vogue, Roumier, Groffier, Amiot-Servelle...) ed a quelli già citati, consiglio Les Cras di G. Roumier e Ghislaine Barthod, Derrier la Grange di Amiot-Servelle, Haut Doix di Groffier. Volendo scegliere tra i Village, sono tutti buoni quelli di Groffier, Ghislaine Barthod e Roumier, produttori che eccellono regolarmente anche nelle denominazioni minori. Volendo parlare di Chambolle, occorrerà prima o poi dire qualcosa anche dei grand cru: la mia passione per i Bonnes Mares è nota ai miei amichetti sciagattati.
