 Tasted by Ramberg on 2/25/2017 & rated 90 points: Again, see my previous notes on this fine stuff (if you are interested in any deeper analyze from my side).
I repeat it:
I love this stuff.
Final bottle from my six pack, I need to re stock.
Serious juice! (956 views)
 Tasted by Ramberg on 12/23/2016 & rated 90 points: Again, amazing quality in this Passetoutgrains!
Highly enjoyable, and I can’t stay away.
There is a very good potential in this wine, if one can manage to save a few bottles to let them evolve .
I know for sure that I can’t, since I keep opening these bottles in express speed.
Another solid showing tonight.
Lovely! (1176 views)
 Tasted by Ramberg on 11/11/2016 & rated 90 points: See note from a week ago.
Could not stay away.
Spot-on, but experienced a bit more acidic cranberries this time.
I will not be able to stay away from my stash of this, since it’s just lovely, and with an exceptional qpr as well as quality.
I can’t help it, but I really love this wine, and rate it much higher than many more expensive village wines and even some 1:er crus… (1090 views)
 Tasted by Ramberg on 10/28/2016 & rated 90 points: From 40 + years old vines.
Brought up in the same way as Groffier's 1:er Cru line up.
Serious stuff, much more than one could expect to find.
Gamay driven nose with rosehips, cherries, raspberries, floral & perfumed with spices & minerals.
Very fine & intriguing!
Palate shows loads of ripe cherries, sweet and creamy raspberries and high acidity, some tart red berries, peppery, clean and light, exactly as it should be.
Very fresh and transparent, with surprisingly good length and intensity.
Excellent quality, and almost as good as the 2010 version of this wine.
For early enjoyment, but will keep, if you can keep your hands off.

 Tasted by d'Artagnan on 9/12/2016 & rated 88 points: Dégustation Groffier 2014: Bourgogne Passetoutgrain : 0.75ha. Un tiers gamay, deux tiers pinot noir. Pas de vendange entière ni de fûts neufs.

Un joli nez de fruit frais, floral. Bouche fruitée, agréable et fraiche, avec tout de même un coté « class » provenant d’un élevage soigné. Il me semble évoquer davantage le gamay, même si celui-ci est minoritaire. Un joli vin de soif. 88 pts (2004 views)
 Tasted by Actarus on 9/7/2016 & rated 87 points: Pleasant but a little short on the first day. Gained in complexity and length on the next day and was clearly much more pleasant. (1059 views)
 Tasted by MWiking on 7/17/2016 & rated 89 points: en riktigt roligt vin, gröna härliga toner som blandas med typiska bourgogne toner. friskt och fräscht och passar bra att servera aningen kallare än vanligt. Ett sommarvin. (1011 views)
 Tasted by arvidpalmqvist on 7/14/2016: Barnyard, raspberry, blackberry, lingonberry, cranberry, floral hint, grapefruit. High acidity, medium- tannins, dry, medium- body (12,5% abv), sour medium finish with a bitter hint (although no woody oaky bitterness at all). (891 views)
 Tasted by FamilyLarsson on 6/1/2016 & rated 88 points: Väldigt parfymerat och fruktdrivet vin med massor av röda syrliga bär med inslag av svarta vinbär. Väldigt lena tanniner och lite kort. (1087 views)

Burgundy

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
