Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 94 pts. and median of 94 pts. in 4 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by jcoemd on 12/25/2021 & rated 96 points: This is an opulent and luscious white Burgundy. It is bold, but not pretentious. Notes of citrus and mineral are on the nose and the palate, with a lingering and pleasing finish. 4.5 Stars. (273 views)
 Tasted by Alex G. on 12/22/2016: Leroy Dinner at Binkley's (Phoenix, AZ): This wine has the misfortune to follow the superstar '02 D'Auvenay Meursault Narvaux. That's like going on stage after James Brown. This was served blind too, and many guessed it was a premier cru. Loads of mineral, nose of wet clay, taste of pear, light elegant - but short - finish.

 Tasted by fcxj on 10/12/2016 & rated 92 points: Nice acidity with mid-length. More generous at this stage than Leflaive 11 Batard tasted alongside. (1004 views)
 Tasted by RajivAyyangar on 2/16/2016 flawed bottle: Coravin Marathon with Tim, Ben, Michael (Wingtip): (blind)
Moderate concentration straw. Slight reduction.
Slight lambic sourness - is this some weird skin-fermented natural wine?
High sparkly acid. Slight well-integrated oak - probably mostly used barrels. Slightly phenolic on the palate.

Guessed a basic Burgundy - Macon Villages 2013. I think this bottle was a bit off from being Coravined. (1771 views)

Burgundy

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
