Community Tasting Notes (average 91.8 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 29 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by paul195 on 9/9/2023 & rated 93 points: 1 of 10 opened at 4:30 served at 7:30 Beautiful ruby red color, initial nose showed red fruit, some hints of spice and a muskiness that I hoped would blow off. After three hours in a decanter this cleaned up and opened up nicely. On the palate this was elegant with polished fruit, balanced with good energy and medium finish. Very drinkable now but I suspect better in a few years (1432 views)
 Tasted by d'Artagnan on 7/1/2023 & rated 91 points: À Corcelles.
Très joli vin juteux et rond, des tanins assouplis, c’est fin et gourmand à la fois, un délice. 91 pts (1731 views)
 Tasted by fcxj on 2/3/2023 & rated 92 points: Well executed village, fairly polished. (1872 views)
 Tasted by the godfather on 12/18/2022: Sexytime (1807 views)
 Tasted by Alex Barbera on 9/29/2022 & rated 92 points: Wurde mit der Zeit immer besser, zugänglicher, komplexer und zugleich tiefgründiger - leider zu früh leer, bevor er mehr zeigen konnte (1948 views)
 Tasted by Eros Coniglio on 12/31/2021 & rated 92 points: Always a great wine for its level. Nuanced nose, minimal tannins and no tertiary characteristics at this stage.

Just a solid producer and solid burgundy without going crazy on price. (2131 views)
 Tasted by B Paul on 1/16/2021: About two years since I last tried this, and it is progressing nicely. The last bottle seemed a bit unruly initially, but this was great from the start. Cherry, raspberry and spice. Definitely has the stuffing to continue to age nicely. (3317 views)
 Tasted by Corgi on 10/13/2020: Needed a good 7 hours of bottle breathing... becomes smooth and harmonious. (3005 views)
 Tasted by Burgundy Al on 2/2/2020 flawed bottle: Good Wine with an Exciting Super Bowl (Chez Kailin - Northbrook IL): Corked. (4650 views)
 Tasted by Tony Ling on 12/15/2019 & rated 94 points: PNP into Zalto Burgundy glass (“Leaf” day): Brilliant ruby with purplish rims, overall still pale but quite deep already for a Burgundy.

Incredibly alluring musky, perfectly ripe wild darker red, blue berries on nose. Luxurious bouquet. Some meaty, sandalwood notes and elegant Vosne spices. Hint of reduction that blew off quickly. This bouquet is disarming to me.

A little more weighty and less welcoming (at this stage) on the palate matching the rich bouquet, but also great minerality and concentration of flavours. Quite a mouthful of ripe and fine tannins built for the long haul. Clean and persistent finish.

Still very primary at this stage but also crystal clear on its cellaring potential. 93-94 points.

1.5 hour upon opening: More ethereal and the pedigree of the wine really shows - The strong fruits started to blend in and now the palate is more minerality and fine boned acidity driven. More smoky and spices too. Retain at 93-94 points. This would be just great in another 5-10 years for sure. (3650 views)
 Tasted by BenBlu on 10/25/2019 & rated 91 points: Similar to last bottle earlier this year. Lovely Vosne village that should improve for 5-10 and hold for 20 years. Classy pure juice albeit not the most complex but also not trying to be. (3614 views)
 Tasted by yuti1225 on 10/2/2019 & rated 92 points: Vibrant and delicate.

 Tasted by Ms. Bubblehead on 9/4/2019: Mixed feelings about this domaine. In warmer vintages like 15 the wines come across too sweet and I don't think they've gotten the balance right. I think pre 2010 the wines are much better. (3069 views)
 Tasted by Burgundy Al on 7/3/2019 & rated 90 points: A Few Miscellaneous Wines in Burgundy, Outside of Big Meals and Tastings; 6/27/2019-7/6/2019 (Burgundy): Delicious, bright red fruit throughout with subtle spice. Good weight for its level Nd better length, with a charming finish. Very good balance. Slightly better today vs 2016, also from 375. (3150 views)
 Tasted by Collector1855 on 5/21/2019 & rated 94 points: Living up to the expectations of the house, this is a great village. Discrete nose with violets, dark berries, some cranberries too, Vosne spices. The palate shows the structure and ripe fruit of 2015 but as always there is the elegance and succulence of the MG wine making. Irresistible, take it if you have allocations. I think the drinking window for this will start in 2023. (3318 views)
 Tasted by B Paul on 2/14/2019: We followed this over 4-5 hours. Initially this was tight and perhaps even a bit disjointed. After 2-3 hours of air it really started to come around and show well. I think this will be a very good vintage of this wine, but one that will reward patience - I’ll try to wait a couple of years before trying another. (2644 views)
 Tasted by BenBlu on 1/3/2019 & rated 91 points: Obviously catching this very early. But was on the wine list and I couldn't resist... Initially a bit tight but showing finesse and great cherry fruit. As it got more air it gained in weight. This is lovely juice. Not the most complex of wines but just the kind of village wine that puts a smile on your face for its effortlessness and yummy fruit. (2890 views)
 Tasted by the godfather on 8/25/2018: Typical sisters beauty from a great year, young but oh so delicious (3282 views)
 Tasted by hajoha on 8/11/2018 & rated 92 points: Lekker nese med blomster, bær på den dype mørke siden, parfyme og svakt spice.
Elegant og sexy.
Ung åpen og fin, men har definitivt en oppside.
Herlig frukt og nydelig friskhet - så deilig å drikke.
Meget bra balansert.
Lang presis finish.
Finkornede lette, men markante tanniner.
Vakker vin. (3016 views)
 Tasted by UTPK on 6/6/2018: So classic and clean. No obsessive "producer stamped" nose like Bizet og Liger Belair, just clean Vosne spice, red bright fruit and very little wood. Not at all hot or thick from the vintage. Great stuff! (3424 views)
 Tasted by acyso on 4/29/2018 & rated 88 points: 2015 Vosne-Romanée AC blind (Chicago, IL): Served single blind in a flight of 2015 Vosne-Romanée AC. Seems intensely purple on the nose. Lots and lots of fruit, both on the nose and palate. Doesn't come across as particularly complex, and the palate seems relatively simple. There seems to be a light touch of oak here as well (or is that the Vosne spice?). Not entirely convincing. (3729 views)
 Tasted by Nanda on 4/29/2018 & rated 89 points: 2015 Vosne-Romanée Village Blind Tasting (Chicago, IL): Single blind. Full nose of black cherry and spice is intense if a bit compact. Serious round, rich fruit and structure here. Underlying core of spice that is looking to emerge, but buried behind some wound up fruit. Not showing now, but clear stuffing that suggests upside. (4006 views)
 Tasted by Sundbyberg on 4/28/2018 & rated 92 points: A very good village wine from VR. Had it together with Anne Gros VR Les Barreaux 2010 and they were quite similar.
Very drinkable and a lot better than the 2012, but maybe the 2012 had been opened too long.
92-93 pts. (2915 views)
 Tasted by dcwino on 1/20/2018 & rated 93 points: Expressive delicious nose displaying opulent red fruits, sugar glazed raspberry and strawberry, coffee, sap, sweet spices, flowers and earthy mineral. Excellent concentration, nicely layered sweet red fruit, very silky and fluid, glycerin, bright acidity, good mineral expression and a medium to long opulent red fruit and mocha driven finish. It is opulent without compromising purity. This is a really generous and delicious village wine that will age well for the next twenty years. (3350 views)
 Tasted by anstruletz on 12/23/2017 & rated 96 points: Seductive perfume of roses and black fruits on the nose with silky tannins and a finish that lingers forever. Beauty and power perfectly in balance. I can only imagine what a few years in the bottle will do for this magnificent effort by the sisters. This is why I drink burgundy! (2441 views)

Pinot 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.

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

Vosne-Romanée

Vosne Romanée is one of the smallest wine villages in Burgundy. The wines possess diverse characteristics, but they can generally be considered to have complexity and longevity beyond nearly all other wines in the world. The village has six grand crus: Romanée-Conti, La Romanée, La Tâche, Richebourg, Romanée-Saint-Vivant, and La Grande Rue. While there is monopoly control of four of the six grand crus, the village has at least forty growers sharing its vineyards. The top premier cru includes Les Malconsorts, Cros Parantoux, Les Chaumes, and Clos des Réas.
