Color: Dark ruby. Obvious dark color for a NSJ. This could be Syrah. Cold soak!
Nose: Distinctly closed and unevolved. Shy nose of black griotte cherry and earth.
Pal: Med-full body, 15% alc (!). Good concentration. Ripe mod tannins but tart finish. Needs more age to integrate, harmonize, and develop/reveal it's complexity.
Now: 91
At peak: 92-94. (2028-2035)
A great vineyard, a great producer. This Nuits St. Georges will show best 10-18+ years after the vintage (from a cool cellar).
JGH sommelier CMS-III, San Francisco/Bay Area (681 views) | | | Tasted by ashishnag on 5/26/2023 & rated 94 points: Still a little tight but great depth of flavor. Hold for 2-3 years (1362 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 4/22/2023: K&L 2020 Burgundy Tasting (K&L Wines,San Francisco): Deep, dense appearance. Serious black fruit aromatics. Thick and rich yet bright with amazing volume of blue and black fruit, powerful acids, and round, substantial tannins. Outstanding and for the future. It shows the evolution of style at this domain. If it had been made 15 years earlier, it would have dissolved the enamel of your teeth. Now, for all of its structure, it is much more refined and at least approachable in its youth. (1505 views) | | | Tasted by Somm David T on 4/22/2023 & rated 92 points: The nose on all the 2020’s in this tasting lot reveal it’s warm/hot vintage. The fruits are quite ripe, some over ripe vs many other vintages. #ClimateChange
The nose shows ripe, even slightly stewy & candied fruits of; blackberries, dark plums, dark cherries, plum framed in raspberries. Dark tarry notes, dark chocolate, dark rich forest floor w/ dry leaves, light bay leaf, dark berry cola/licorice, powdered rocks, limestone marl minerals, spice, tarragon, hints of mint with ruby, withering dark red, purple florals surrounded by violets.
The palate is dark lush currants. Fruits of; ripe, even slightly candied fruits of; blackberries, dark plums, dark cherries, plum framed in raspberries. Dark tarry notes, dark chocolate, dark rich forest floor w/ dry leaves, light bay leaf, dark berry cola/licorice, powdered rocks, limestone marl minerals, dry top soil/sand, dark spice, tarragon, tree bark, eucalyptus, hints of mint with ruby, withering candied, dark red, purple florals surrounded by violets. The acidity big and round. The long well polish finish is well balanced/structured that is fruity running to dry austere and lasts a minutes.
Lots of time needed here. (1179 views) | | | Tasted by WineBurrowingWombat on 4/22/2023 & rated 92 points: Burgundy tasting (K&L Wine Merchant - San Francisco): N: Buoyant and dark red plums and cranberries (more plums than cranberries though), gentle floral aromas that add interest in the fruits, and a gentle forest funk like damp tree bark and wet twigs.
P: Dark red and black fruits on the plate, gentle spice, there is a gentle neon touch here but leans more towards imaginary glowing mushrooms than jolly ranchers. (I know, I wish I can describe it better myself.. bear with me)
Again, shocked with some of the notes I find in some of these wines that I would find in California wines. This also probably needs more time to develop. (1805 views) | | | Tasted by WindFlyer on 4/22/2023: 2020 Burgundies II: Côte de Nuits reds (and some whites): very dark, almost purple, and almost full-bodied in the glass. a whiff of alcohol greets the nose, which is then dominated by dark fruit: black plums, cassis, black cherries; quick wafts damp forest floor and crushed flowers add some depth. in the mouth it is big, dry and with ample structure, with good balance at the moment. the long finish, with subtleties of fruit and spice notes hint at some of the complexity that is yet to be revealed.
this wine did not square at all with my experience with Nuits-St-Georges… and at first i did wonder whether in fact it was a Pinot! can't say that i got a good read on it at the moment. it clearly needs more time, perhaps quite a lot of it.
15% AbV (!!!) (1074 views) | | | Tasted by ylkim30 on 4/22/2023: Jammy blackberry on the nose. Deeply and densely fruit forward, with fine, drying tannins on the finish. This has an elegant texture and weight on the palate, but its too dense and ripe for my tastes. (267 views) | | | Tasted by Sean Tay on 1/27/2022 & rated 93 points: Deep ruby in colour. Pronounced nose intensity with violet, spices, toast, black fruits, cassis. Medium+ acidity and high tannin. Full bodied. Youthful and long finish. Tasted during Vintage Burgundy EP. (1479 views) |

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.Clos des Porrets St. Georges On Weinlagen.infoFrance Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

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
