| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.4 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 13 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by 67Riche on 5/23/2022 & rated 90 points: PNP. After 15 minutes nose becomes enticing, baking spices and black raspberries dominate. Dark color, medium body, oak is well integrated. Solid juice, great QPR. (254 views) | | | Tasted by Renevin on 12/10/2020 flawed bottle: Beau nez mais en bouche complément plat, fade . Bouteille défectueuse (408 views) | | | Tasted by Eudemis on 3/11/2019: 13% alcohol. The good long cork is penetrated a quarter of the way. Relatively deep colour, and slightly cloudy.
The nose is enticing, with mixed red berries and some (not overpowering) raisiny notes. Very satisfying mouth, with very good length and perfectly judged acidity. The oak is confined to an unobtrusive support rôle, as it should. Very good grip.
Well up to 1-er cru standard, and indeed more enjoyable than some 1-er crus from this very same address.
A success without a doubt. Can age another 5 to 10 years in my opinion. (667 views) | | | Tasted by dbkitc on 12/31/2012 & rated 87 points: Pure ruby with a clear rim. The wines from Laurent always smell wonderful (in their own way) in good vintages in my opinion. This is a good example - deep Pinot fruit, integrated oak and floral note. Medium bodied palate that is missing a bit of heft. A bit dry on the finish. Good not great. (87) (2191 views) | | | Tasted by dbkitc on 8/21/2009 & rated 87 points: Wow – this wine has certainly come together and improved over the past few years. No doubting that this is Laurent – wood spice is very prominent. What has changed is better integration, brighter, more obvious fruit and the feeling that the wine now revealing what it can. Still, this is good to very good village only. While there is good flavor penetration, it comes up a bit short. (87) (2623 views) | | | Tasted by Sterling Minor on 11/17/2007 & rated 89 points: Drank with Patrick Straich and Bob Bennet at the house. While they, in particular, enjoyed the other red, Ribbon Ridge Pinot Noir 2004 (Oregon) more, we all three thought this wine quite enjoyable. Very smooth until the end, when there is a slight chalkiness. Great flavor, consisting of cherries, raspberries and even some lime. Balanced. (3092 views) | | | Tasted by dbkitc on 12/26/2006: I really can not find anything to like about this wine. Not a beverage that brings pleasure. (8) (2687 views) | | | Tasted by dbkitc on 12/26/2006: Only marginally better than the other bottle. (9) (2851 views) | | | Tasted by dbkitc on 11/24/2006: Opened much better than past bottles, but quickly turned tart and mean. This just isn't my favorite wine. (9) (1659 views) | | | Tasted by dbkitc on 10/29/2006: Juicy / ruby – not completely clear. Lovely sour cherry nose with a hint of rubber. The initial attack is bright and clean with a distinct cherry quality. The wine then falls of and is distinctly bitter. Will try again tomorrow to see if this resolves. Otherwise, though lovely flavors exist, the finish makes this unappealing. (9+?)
Day 3 - rubber tire and plum/raspberry on the nose. This has settled down on the palate revealing sweet fruit. Still very acidic - I think waiting another 5 years is a good idea. Might not come around, but it might. (12+?) (1620 views) | | | Tasted by Rupert on 8/8/2005 & rated 89 points: Big sweet oaky nose, but on the palate this was actually very lively, bags of sappy pinot fruit, not complex, but delicious. (1856 views) | | | Tasted by La Cave d'Argent on 12/18/2003 & rated 88 points: Tasted unblinded at Region restaurant. Bottle taken from my personal cellar. Bright disc. Medium ruby robe with red rim. Clean nose, opening over 60 minutes to reveal aromas of raspberry, clove, savory and vanilla. Medium-bodied on the palate, with slightly tart acidity, light sweet tannins and flavors which mirror the nose. Medium, fairly smooth finish. Some additional short-term cellaring may be of benefit.

| 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.Vieilles Vignes Old Vine/Vieilles Vignes (Wikipedia)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
