| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.4 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 27 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by lake.vino on 6/18/2023 & rated 96 points: At nearly 20 years still youthful. Dark nearly black. Nose raspberry, bramble. Dark cherry. Roast meat. It’s intense. Oak shoes but not at all obtrusive. Rose petal. Palate exquisitely balanced. Ample acid support. Intense mineral and resolving tannins. All supports a nice fruit and cigar and meaty note. It is as big as any burgundy I’ve encountered and yet it is subtle and incredibly complex. Very long finish. Opened beautifully over two hours. The real deal. (474 views) | | | Tasted by Lipsman on 1/17/2018 flawed bottle: Corked (2775 views) | | | Tasted by Lipsman on 11/28/2017 & rated 92 points: Quite good with vibrant cherry, earthy flavors, fresh acidity. This is sustained on the palate with depth and concentration. Still evolving but drinking well now. (2776 views) | | | Tasted by ctwjr on 10/14/2016 & rated 93 points: Still concentrated and young. Red fruit, earth, game and dried herb aromas merge into refined and intense finish. Hold. (3276 views) | | | Tasted by ctwjr on 11/10/2015: Not ready to drink. (3411 views) | | | Tasted by dcwino on 1/19/2014 & rated 90 points: Still remaining youthful. A hint of GM but not terribly bothersome. Open nose, quite sour, sour cherry, blackberries, earth and starting to show a hint of sweet spices. Exceptional concentration for a village wine, quite sour and a bit chunky, strong presence of acidity and noticeable but nicely integrated tannins. To reach the full maturity, this will need another ten years. After ten years, GM note is clearly present. Perhaps more sous bois note will make GM a bit less noticeable. (5634 views) | | | Tasted by sjwshiraz on 12/28/2012: Quite a tough, roasted black fruit profile. Aromas if coffee grouts. Some greenness as well but not too off putting. Probably 5/10 on the GM scale. Not much upside in keeping (4647 views) | | | Tasted by pointrob on 3/17/2012 & rated 92 points: earthy nose,slightly tart,red fruit,nice mid-palate with fine tannin
drinking close to its peak (5039 views) | | | Tasted by CraigWS on 9/21/2010 & rated 94 points: Given what Py had to work with he has performed a miracle here with this beauty...outstanding!!! (5326 views) | | | Tasted by Henman on 8/28/2010 & rated 90 points: Developed nose with berries,sous-bois and roasted notes.Soft and nicely evolved palate showing red fruit/berries,mahogany and light spices. (4919 views) | | | Tasted by KeithAkers on 10/18/2009 & rated 88 points: Knightsbridge's Burgundy Tasting (Knightsbridge, Northbrook IL): nose: robust nose of dark red cherries, spice, dark red fruits, and tart tones of raspberries. Has a higher toned quality to it
taste: very good depth with medium+ acidity that is making up most of the mid palate right now with tones of dark red cherries, raspberries, and bits of spice. Has a nice lighter feel to it, but is also very young right now
overall: A very young wine right now. Has an attractive quality to it, and didn't really come off as having the 04 green problems, though it certainly does express the lighter and higher toned style of the vintage. (4222 views) | | | Tasted by psmith on 10/18/2009: Raw, and somewhat hollow in the middle. Red fruit. Hard tannins. OK. (3944 views) | | | Tasted by kgh on 8/25/2009 & rated 85 points: Medium body, red fruit and raspberries. Nothing sophisticated going on here. (3330 views) | | | Tasted by Spencer on 4/2/2009: Very good for a village wine (pricing aside). Some barnyard, bright red fruit. A bit lean on the finish. (3277 views) | | | Tasted by rarewineman on 5/21/2008 & rated 93 points: Lovely wine form a a great producer (2915 views) | | | Tasted by tanglenet on 3/31/2007: Served at The Wine Club in SF at a wine tasting: quick notes: dark spice; garnet color; medium weight on the palate with a very light dry finish.

| Bernard Dugat-Py 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.Très Vieilles Vignes - Coeur de RoyThis wine is made from various scattered parcels around the 'Villages' area of Gevrey, and is not a single 'lieu-dit'; i.e. 'Coeur de Roy' is a trade designation ('cuvée"), not an appellation.. jhtFrance 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
