| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.9 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 16 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Xavier Auerbach on 9/16/2023 & rated 95 points: Académie des Cinquante Burgundy - Germany Tasting (Overveen): Tasted blind. Matière, powerful, shows some age but still youthful, clearly Grand Cru authority, orange zest, red and blue fruit, masculine and concentrated, well integrated tannins, early maturity, great future. Unshowy. Impresses by its understatement. (1740 views) | | | Tasted by Alex G. on 2/17/2023: A racy vintage for this wine, more fruit than a 2010 tasted recently. Dense with dark fruit, this strikes me as needing another decade to show its best. (1389 views) | | | Tasted by Burgnick on 2/16/2023 & rated 89 points: Slow ox for 6 hours before serving. Slightly earthy and astringent on the palate. (1625 views) | | | Tasted by WKC on 9/26/2022 & rated 92 points: Wonderful airy nose of cherries. Had been opened for a few hours prior. It then seemed to shut down and tasted quite hard and tannic. This needs more time but the underlying material has great potential. (1447 views) | | | Tasted by cubswinws on 9/15/2022 & rated 86 points: Very interesting on opening but then it just disappeared Not sure it really shutdown or there really is just not much there burgundy just remains an enigma. Do you really want to spend in excessive of $200 for a wine that is undrinkable? (1416 views) | | | Tasted by MC on 8/29/2021: PNP and tasted over 3 hours. My allergies were acting up so not a great tasting night for me but I and others got the sense that this was pretty good out of the bottle but then really shut down. It was hard for me to assess later in the evening if it was opening back up but based on this I would probably wait on opening another for a couple of years. A-? (1831 views) | | | Tasted by WineGuyX on 5/10/2017 & rated 93 points: Nose seems a bit reticent at present. Sour cherry and soured fruit along with charred wood. Grilled rosemary and thyme, black cherry and a faint floral aroma. Medium-full bodied and very dense. This wine is complete and packed! Loads of very high quality tannin and medium-high acidity. Elegant and refined, but not lacking power. This is a terrific wine that needs a few more years for all the pieces to fall into place. Compared with the 2008, this has MUCH more body and thickness as well as lower acidity and higher quality tannin. Drink 2022-2030 93 df 9.2 (5047 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 3/4/2016: The Verticals Tasting at La Paulée 2016 (The Fairmont, San Francisco): Light ruby. Little in the way of a nose. Relatively light bodied. Mostly soil on the palate with a bit of anonymous fruit. Not much here at all. A very strange 2012 if this bottle is representative. (5718 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 3/4/2016: La Paulée de San Francisco - The Verticals (The Fairmont - San Francisco CA): Tasting, brief note. Bright red cherry with savory spice. Slightly shut down vs when tasted one year ago, but showing all the same elements, just with more restraint. I like the potential here a lot, but either open itvery soon in its youth, or cellar it for a decade+. (6463 views) | | | Tasted by La Cave d'Argent on 10/23/2015 & rated 95 points: 2015 New York Wine Experience Trip; 10/19/2015-10/27/2015 (New York City, NY): This deep ruby wine is effusive and intoxicating on the nose, with aromas of black cherry, lavender, sandalwood, cola and smoke. Medium-to-full-bodied for a Pinot, it delivers comparable flavors in a frame of fresh acidity, substantial silky tannins, unnoticeable alcohol and nicely integrated oak. Structured and racy, it shows excellent mid-palate density and closes with an expansive finish. This muscular young Burgundy will require some cellar time to fulfill its undeniable potential. Drink 2020-2032. (9706 views) | | | Tasted by cos65 on 10/23/2015: medium ruby scarlet. some funky barnyard, sage cranberry flavors. Seemingly on the leaner side. (4975 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 2/28/2015: 2015 La Paulée Grand Tasting (Metropolitan Pavilion, New York): Subtle, understated black fruit and lots of soil. Gentle style rather than a bulky, hard Clos Vougeot, but it seems to lack depth and reserves. (2718 views) | | | Tasted by JOsgood on 2/28/2015: La Paulée de New York - Grand Tasting (Metropolitan Pavilion): Smooth and elegant. Very pretty and balanced. (2715 views) | | | Tasted by alanr on 2/28/2015 & rated 91 points: 2014 La Paulee Grand Tasting (New York): Quite nice, elegant medium cherry, spice, a bit backward. (2952 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 2/28/2015 & rated 94 points: La Paulée de New York Grand Tasting (Metropolitan Pavilion - New York NY): Tasting, brief note. I like this wine in almost every vintage and the 2012 is another star performance. Ripe red and black berries and ripe and perfumed with excellent weight and textures that keeps expanding. Great balance. (4263 views) | | | Tasted by Gargantua on 6/8/2014: Grands Jours de Bourgogne 2014 Day 2: Côte de Nuits 3-18-13: 40-60% new oak. Round subtle tannins, dense wine--dark, and supple. Bottled 10 days ago. (3736 views) |

| Domaine Jean Grivot Producer websitePinot 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
