Strøken ren toppfrukt med krydder og parfyme.
Slank forførende presis vin.
På et bra sted nå.
Drikk eller lagre videre.
Supert løft her.
Sublim tanninstruktur i en lang finish. 93p+ (1796 views) | | | Tasted by finediningnyc on 10/29/2020 & rated 96 points: Opened 4 hours before drinking and it was so incredibly expressive and firing on all cylinders. A WOTN contender amongst many heavy hitters including 07 Rayas. (1891 views) | | | Tasted by Nicephoras on 10/29/2020: Amane. Courtesy of Shoshana. This is a massive wine, and that's despite being opened 3.5 or so hours ahead of dinner. It's big, dark, but also has some of the very slight Gevrey funk you might expect. Some great kirsch cherry on the initial palate, but this is just absolutely massive despite the air given to it. The finish is interesting with a paint thinner note to it that I pretty much never get on Gevrey. I expect this will live forever, though with some time it's clearly open and a pleasure to drink now, not always the case for 13s.

Still young and tight (2188 views) | | | Tasted by johnh1001 on 3/29/2020 & rated 94 points: More depth than the Charmes. Darker. Took a while to come out but quite forward once it did (2410 views) | | | Tasted by RayOB on 12/6/2019 & rated 95 points: Drank at the P&G
Still too young but an amazing complexity (1614 views) | | | Tasted by d'Artagnan on 6/6/2019: Nez peu expressif, belle bouche gourmande, c’est très bon, trop jeune mais abordable tout de même. (1693 views) | | | Tasted by hajoha on 5/5/2019: Er noe fin parfyme her, men Ikke helt klokkeren.
Slank, stram med høy friskhet.
God konsentrasjon.
Litt kantete nå.
Lang finish med faste tanniner.
Bra men kanskje ikke en helt topp flaske?
Mulig tid fikser dette. 90p? (1636 views) | | | Tasted by Kurtjo on 5/3/2019 & rated 92 points: Nydelig parfyme og frukt med en gang, men lukker hardt med luft. Blir grov og kantete. La ligge. (1157 views) | | | Tasted by hghg on 11/10/2018 & rated 88 points: Good pinot fruit, some gevrey character, not a lot of complexity. (1503 views) | | | Tasted by CamWheeler on 7/20/2016 & rated 93 points: SLDS July 2016: Cherry, spice, licorice, some roast meat and raspberry. The pairing of sweet and savory fruit is excellent, with the bright acidity supporting and lifting the wine. Excellent length and balance. Delicious already. (3159 views) | | | Tasted by HowardNZ on 7/13/2015: 2015 Tasting at Domaine Armand Rousseau: A very different aromatic profile: dark fruits, tobacco leaf, black spices, smoky barbequed venison and savoury nuances. The wine was very closed on palate but with good flavour complexity including suggestions of dark soil, game meats, dark cherries and espresso. This wine clearly needs longer than the Charmes, at least 10-15 years, just to be at all approachable. I agreed with Frédéric that 'it is precise, but there is no pleasure today'. The huge scaled tannins that are so dominant now will, I'm sure, integrate with time to reveal an excellent wine. (92-94) (4307 views) | | | Tasted by peternelson on 3/7/2015 & rated 93 points: Animale, leather, Gevrey spice, black raspberry with good weight, soft tannins. Excellent quality, character. (2649 views) | | | Tasted by yofog on 2/26/2015: Big, big nose of black fruit, violets, espresso, game, rich and meaty with perfect ripeness. Expansive on the palate, with great drive and definition, really full bodied/brawny yet easy. (2512 views) |

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)

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
