| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.5 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 15 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Yassine23 on 2/3/2023: Took a bit of time to open up but when it did, a beautiful display of fruit, spice and flower. Powerful but elegant, all in finesse. Long finish. Excellent stuff. No green meanies (344 views) | | | Tasted by Vini Ciclismo on 3/13/2021 & rated 89 points: Vintage 2011 Tasting: med wt red
cherries and light whole bunch spice fragrance
muted red berries with whole bunch spice adding complexity.
delicate style, a hint of astringency, clean undeveloped flavours (833 views) | | | Tasted by hprphf on 11/7/2020 & rated 90 points: Slightly weaker than the 11' Vosne, there is however great clarity here. Not very green, more purple fruit-driven with earthy notes. Very polished. 90-91 (724 views) | | | Tasted by Ms. Bubblehead on 6/17/2019: Was surprised this is 2011 vintage as this bottle offered incredible depth and structure, very NSG, but more structured and offered more darker fruits than typical Cathiard’s wines. Wild berries, dark plummy fruits, minerals, and strong perfume, on the palate, the acidity is high; oak integrated quite well now actually, offering deepness on the finish (1430 views) | | | Tasted by Derek Darth Taster on 12/19/2017 & rated 91 points: Burgundy Dinner Christmas 2017 (Imperial Treasure Fine Teochew Cuisine): Tasted blind.
Appearance is clear, pale intensity, bright ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of smoke, toasty oak, tobacco leaf, licorice, red cherries, some fresh leather. Developing.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol (13.5%), fine medium+ tannins, medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of fresh red cherries, darker red cherries, ripe strawberry, licorice, smokey toasty oak. Long finish.
The group was going for Vosne-Romanee 1er, but something about the masculinity, mild off-balance, and bit of rusticity makes me think of NSG Premier Cru rather than Vosne. Guessed probably NSG 1er on the Northern side nearer to Vosne, maybe a Boudots.
Very good quality. Ambitious lashings of oak just a bit too dramatic for me at this point in time though. Needs about at least 4+ years for this to integrate better.
100% new oak. 69-year-old vines. (1900 views) | | | Tasted by etyc on 12/19/2017: Morgan's wine-dinner. (1972 views) | | | Tasted by CamWheeler on 11/13/2016 & rated 89 points: CF's Birthday: Cherry, raspberry and toast aromas. The palate has a high level of acidity, with a decent amount of oak driven structure. Perhaps not the same immediate appeal of a lot of Cathiard's wines, but may well blossom in the future. (2329 views) | | | Tasted by Burgnick on 10/4/2016 & rated 89 points: A lot of oak and dark fruit. Good density and no greenness. It needs time for the oak to tone down. (1976 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 9/24/2016 & rated 90 points: Nuits St. Georges Tasting (Knightsbridge - Northbrook IL): Tasting, brief note. Very pretty red fruit with spice I expect from Vosne. Elegant and well textures in an overall package easy to enjoy in every way other than price. I slightly preferred the 2013 vintage tasted next. (2331 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 1/21/2016 & rated 88 points: Mah mah. (2070 views) | | | Tasted by panda drinks burgundy on 5/19/2015 & rated 91 points: Forward, sweet and sumptuous, great front palate, a pleasure to drink, but expected more. (1517 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 4/6/2014: Knightsbridge 2011 Burgundy Tasting and Sale (Northbrook, IL): Tasting, brief note. This is a very charming, ripe but balanced 2011 with that charming NSG meets Vosne character I often admire in Murgers. A very pretty wine. Over the past decade I have increasingly become of fan of Cathiard wines, but over the past 3-4 years less of a fan of their price and corresponding value. (2986 views) | | | Tasted by vespasian on 11/5/2012 & rated 91 points: Not so overtly ripe as the Thoreys, has an alluring perfume none the less. Despite a tiny hint of reduction this oozes class and regality; bright red fruits on the palate - more straightforward style but still satisfying. 90-92 (1548 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.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
