| Community Tasting Notes (average 93.1 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 27 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by achim_berg@icloud.com on 4/25/2024 & rated 94 points: Still early drinking window, but opens up after 30 min. Great wine! (238 views) | | | Tasted by nebbiolofan on 12/25/2023 & rated 92 points: This is the only white wine made from the Clos Vougeot vineyard, which is neat. It shows popcorn, lemon curd, honeydew melon, white flowers, and a little tropical fruit. Full bodied with a round mouthfeel and noticeable malolactic, but lifted acidity keeps it fresh and lively. Good persistence with a touch of chalk on the finish and the faintest whisper of an oxidative nuttiness. I usually go for a leaner style but the quality is undeniably there. Drink or hold (681 views) | | | Tasted by Sotto325 on 12/23/2023 & rated 93 points: This is quite good and more nuanced than a couple of years ago. Somewhat humorous to read Jancis saying “refined” and Alan saying “ not refined” in 2019. It is refined now. The richer tones are now giving way to a more balanced citrus, lemon and pineapple backbone and a hint of caramel with those fruits on the palate. Good finish as well. No decant needed. (640 views) | | | Tasted by markcic on 11/23/2023 & rated 92 points: Opened a magnum to start our Thanksgiving dinner. White flowers and citrus on the nose. The palate was white flowers, citrus, melon, a hint of apricot and just a touch of pineapple on the finish which was moderate to long. My friends were surprised as it is much different that the oaky and or buttery California chardonnays that they are used to. (777 views) | | | Tasted by IvanLi on 11/16/2023 & rated 95 points: This is an excellent white that manages to combine the ripeness, elegance and aristocratic complexity in one bottle. Incredible aromatics that keeps evolving in the glass, layers upon layers of green apples, tropical fruit, flowers, brioche, oyster shells, chalky minerality. Very high, yet super tender acidity that never burns.
The overall feel and presence is that of a 97+ point wine, but imho it lacks a bit of depth and concentration on the palate to propel it into the highest leagues.
Still a real wine experience. (820 views) | | | Tasted by remyworldpeace on 11/11/2023 & rated 94 points: Lovely complex nose. Yellow fruit, melon, some white flowers and touch of oak. Palate melon, lemon and rind adding acidity. Some herbal and spices from the oak. Lovely salinity and touch of black pepper even. Very complex and interesting. (671 views) | | | Tasted by ASMB on 10/19/2023 & rated 93 points: Incredible balance. (598 views) | | | Tasted by jhw425 on 8/16/2023 & rated 92 points: Good vibrant acidity. I liked this bottle better on day 1. 2017 vintage really shines here (816 views) | | | Tasted by winelover1808 on 8/5/2023 & rated 93 points: A pretty pale yellow color. Lemon and wet stones on the nose. Faint tart pineapple, some granny apple, mainly lemon curd- terrific acidic cut. Good finish. Very white burgundy. Delicious. (774 views) | | | Tasted by BLam on 8/4/2023 & rated 93 points: Paul brought this wonderful wine to serve in a family dinner. Delicious. (694 views) | | | Tasted by Elpaninaro on 7/20/2023: light bright yellow color, toasty buttery nose, on the palate some heft with firm earth notes to rein in the ripe fruit, pear, granny smith apple, honeysuckle, good length, showy and attractive, room for further development with age.
**(*)+, 2027+ (803 views) | | | Tasted by VinhoVerde on 7/1/2023 & rated 94 points: A grand white burgundy and a rare white wine from Vougeot. Yellow fruit and smoke bouquet. Rich, full-bodied, and intense fruit concentration on the palate. Hint of muscadine too. A complex wine with an impressive long finish. Will age 4 more years. (518 views) | | | Tasted by Collector1855 on 7/1/2023 & rated 93 points: Initially a touch closed, then with air lovely flinty aromas, lemon curd, butter croissant. Still needs time to mature further. 93+ (1253 views) | | | Tasted by 32lakeviewwine on 5/27/2023: Bottle was not good. (541 views) | | | Tasted by achim_berg@icloud.com on 12/24/2022 & rated 93 points: Early drinking window. 2015 vintage much more to the point. But with similar potential (911 views) | | | Tasted by GArpaia on 11/12/2022: Creamy and round.
Pale lemon. Pronounced. Melon, peach, apricot, orange, lemon curd, ripe. Brioche, butter, cream. Toasted wood, hints of vanilla. Me+.acidity. Med body. 13% abv. Long. (956 views) | | | Tasted by jhw425 on 10/16/2022: Not that interesting on day 1… but surprising good day 3. Give this one time (984 views) | | | Tasted by VRwines on 7/12/2022: Excellent - served at BF pizza party with neighbors (Hicks, Melton’s, Wagowski’s) (1151 views) | | | Tasted by Sotto325 on 11/25/2020 & rated 92 points: This is a pretty dancer, light on its feet but richer with classical structure and depth. While not a grand wine with Batard structure or as refined as a top Chassagne , it is a soft, and delicious, early-expressing delight. Notes of mixed citrus, gently ripe peach hints, a bit if mineral- driven acid backbone and a floral. Look for a soft but nicely balanced 2017 to enjoy now. (3121 views) | | | Tasted by sdr on 10/22/2020 & rated 92 points: This is actually quite nice, partly because it’s more giving than most 17s at this infant stage. Moderate yellow, reasonably fragrant. Medium full. Earthy with a hint of mushroom, well judged acidity, lots of character. Seems like a fine premier cru Chassagne even though it’s not really in the neighborhood. (2510 views) | | | Tasted by Wines with Val on 4/27/2020 & rated 94 points: sweet aroma of summer fruit upon opening. Light citrus notes on the palate. An elegant white from Burgundy. Well balanced acidity will allow to age gracefully for quite some time. (2424 views) | | | Tasted by SonnyChiba on 1/24/2019: Excellent as usual. Will likely drink well early.

2019 vintage reports

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
