| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.3 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 17 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by LRC97 on 3/16/2021 & rated 90 points: I would loved to have had this wine 2-3 years ago! The fruit isn’t really there now, though glimmers of cherries peep through.
Beautifully savoury, with notes of earth, smoke, and wet woodpile. Powdery tannins keep this wine alive, great structure. A graceful fall from its recent peak! Drink now. (596 views) | | | Tasted by dbkitc on 1/3/2018 & rated 91 points: I’ve always liked this wine and this bottle is no exception. The nose has turned distinctly earthy to complement the dark cherry fruit. The is a linear feel to the wine that suggests little winemaker dressing. All is quite good though the finish is a bit clipped. No green. A note of cinnamon comes with air. Very nice. (91) (1475 views) | | | Tasted by Sean Tay on 11/1/2017: The wine looks garnet colored. It smells like strawberry, cranberry, raspberry, mushroom and toast. (188 views) | | | Tasted by nskelsey on 9/29/2015 & rated 90 points: 2004 is probably the least attractive vintage of the last 15 years, but occasionally turns up a delight. De Montille's Les Pezerolles is fantastically reliable and turns out to be one of those 2004 delights. This example is a bit more 'earthy' than usual and couldn't quite match the '04 Clos des Epenbeaux for sheer class, but it's still an immensely satisfying Burgundy. Recommended. Estimated maturity: Now to 2020. (2475 views) | | | Tasted by dbkitc on 12/2/2013 & rated 92 points: Quick taste at a party - very nice wine. showing no green - good fruit and earthy complexity. Drinking very well today. One of the better '04's I have tasted. (92) (2987 views) | | | Tasted by dbkitc on 5/20/2012 & rated 91 points: A wonderful '04. Medium ruby color. Deep red berry fruit nose with a coating of wet earth. No stems/green at all on nose. Medium bodied but full flavor profile throughout. Drinking nicely, this is really good. (91) (3502 views) | | | Tasted by avp on 4/20/2011: Sour cherry nose with cedar, some violets, meat, blackpepper and a noticeable touch of the -04 greenness.
Light to medium bodied on the palate with slightly grippy powdery tannins and balanced acidity. Refreshing dry style, dark mid-weight fruit and a good mineral presence. Green beans and coffee in the mid-length finish.
Rather nice. Drinks quite alright now, but should still improve for years. (3544 views) | | | Tasted by dbkitc on 4/13/2010 & rated 88 points: Good ruby color. Nose is holding back – a bit of varnish, deep pinot fruit and new car leather. Like the wine a lot on the palate – rich fruit with good intensity. Falls a tad short with a hint of the vintages bitterness on the finish. Time will either work wonders or will prove disastrous…I don’t know. What I do know is the material is there….I like this vineyard from this producer. (88++???) (3146 views) | | | Tasted by amateurwino on 5/9/2009 & rated 89 points: N: barnyard/ dirt. P: spicier than the Mitans. light but tannic fruit. F: bitter (2490 views) | | | Tasted by winefool on 10/16/2007 & rated 90 points: Montille Tasting with Etienne Montille (Knightsbridge): Full brigth red. Bright tighter red/black fruit on the nose. Good tight black fruit and bright acidity on the palate. Still a baby Pommard - others like it a little better than me. (2597 views) | | | Tasted by FrankCisneros on 8/31/2007 & rated 90 points: Etienne de Montille and Family (COUNTER.): Tart, under-ripened strawberries. Sea salt and sea spray. A complex but pleasant wine. (2180 views) | | | Tasted by Barbara B on 11/16/2006 & rated 92 points: AIS: vertical tasting with Etienne de Montille: Dark and dense in appearance. Nose: just mineraly right from the bottle; after 30 minutes some very seductive fruitiness and earthiness emerged; love how this one has evolved in the glass. Palate: lovely fruit, minerals, earth, and roasted notes; highish acidity (without throwing off the balance); moderate alcohol; very flavourful. Overall: very nice wine; at the moment lacks optimal length and complexity, but that should come with some bottle age. (2969 views) | | | Tasted by Mlermontov on 9/13/2006 & rated 93 points: Martin Scott Wines (Fall 06); 9/11/2006-9/13/2006 (Lincoln Center): really liked this, ripe rich fruit without being sweet, complex wine with earth and minerality as well as herbs. excellent taninns for long aging. great finish. (4132 views) | | | Tasted by dougsmith on 9/11/2006 & rated 90 points: Martin Scott Wines Portfolio Event (New York City): Medium ruby color. Nose of flowers, blackberries, smoky herb, orange peel. Not quite as complex on the palate. (3463 views) |
| Domaine de Montille 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.Les Pèzerolles On weinlagen.infoFrance 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
