| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.5 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 24 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by wineton.mee on 3/11/2024 & rated 93 points: This is nothing like the younger Barthods, showing some pruney and plummy notes, candied cherries, honey. The mid palate gives away the Chambolle quality, there is a lot of elegance. I liked the wine upon the fresh pour alot more than I did later on, and especially against a strong lineup of Vosne, it doesn't stand out remarkable. (445 views) | | | Tasted by pclin on 3/1/2024 & rated 93 points: Lighter than previous experience. (396 views) | | | Tasted by melvinyeowq on 3/1/2024 & rated 90 points: Vosne / Chambolle 1ers from good producers theme: Not the most convincing showing after a superb bottle from the same friend last year. Slightly cloudy with tart raspberry and cherry fruit. Rather thin so I thought this was my 2007 instead. (493 views) | | | Tasted by astroman on 3/1/2024 & rated 93 points: VR vs CM good producers (Shin Terrior): Blind, earthy, hint of red fruits, game, slightly rustic nose, palate a little thin initially but slowly gaining depth as time in the glass, some soy, whiff of violet. (386 views) | | | Tasted by Dibbs on 8/7/2023 & rated 93 points: My WOTN! This really felt perfectly in between the La Pousse and the Lignier CDLR. Had the prettiness but with structure and concentration. (846 views) | | | Tasted by pclin on 8/4/2023 & rated 94 points: Still too young, the wine was switching between semi-shut and opened phase for at least two cycles over the night. Vibrant acidity and ripe fruits with Grand Cru level concentration and length. Bright future ahead. First of three from auction. (808 views) | | | Tasted by melvinyeowq on 8/4/2023 & rated 95 points: Gwen's belated birthday: Wow thought this was a Vosne with the floral aromatics. Deep red-fruited character to the wine, lovely tart cherry fruit. Crystalline and focused in spite of the hidden power Fantastic showing. (1192 views) | | | Tasted by cfk49 on 3/3/2023 & rated 95 points: Another phenomenal bottle from probably my favorite of Barthod's vineyards. Pure, crystalline, lacy dark fruits, length, weightless on palate. Very aromatic with ethereal, haunting nose with just a hint of Pinot stink; intense but balanced on palate. Cellared since original release. (850 views) | | | Tasted by Bullethead on 12/5/2021 & rated 93 points: The oldest Barthod I had, still need a few more years to unveil. (1178 views) | | | Tasted by acyso on 9/15/2021 & rated 95 points: Dinner at Osteria Langhe (Chicago, IL): This was, frankly, outrageously good. Archetypal red Burgundy, and Chambolle at that, with its perfumed red fruit. The palate is elegant and light, and while it is starting to pick up some secondary characteristics, this is still so clean and without any funky/barnyardy notes. The ripe red fruit has a sweetness that makes this all the more compelling to drink. (2106 views) | | | Tasted by cfk49 on 3/12/2021 & rated 94 points: Red fruits, lacy, crystalline, elegant, but with substance and depth. Still room to improve, but showing excellently now. Cellared since original release. (1314 views) | | | Tasted by LB88 on 2/2/2021 & rated 93 points: Beautiful delicate floral nose with good acidity and structure. Starting to develop some secondary flavors. Just at the beginning of the drinking window. Smooth but present tannins. (1293 views) | | | Tasted by drjb on 5/27/2020 & rated 94 points: This is a beautiful bottle of still young Burgundy with a deep cherry red colour and a nose of strawberry, red cherries and redcurrants with a touch of rose and spice. The palate remains quite strict with lovely fruits on the front palate with a persistent line of fine tannins leading to a lingering finish of scented fruit and minerality. Its a lovely 1er Cru that has plenty in the tank. (1279 views) | | | Tasted by ducster72 on 4/15/2017 & rated 94 points: The most open this wine has ever been but I still think 3-5 years from really being fully open. Tons of round red fruit and a bit of secondary development. Opened up more after a few hours to show even a little more funk. Still a bit tannic but rack of lamb helped with that.
I really need to recalibrate Barthod's aging curves. 2002 wasn't a brawny vintage and 14 years later, this 1er cru is still at least 3 years away. So, say 17 for a 1er cru from a good vintage? What must 2005s and 2010s be? 22? 25? (2107 views) | | | Tasted by Tim2 on 1/16/2017 & rated 91 points: Leads with acidity and followed with fruit. Nice with my homemade cassoulet. Could it stand a few more years? Yes, but it was my last bottle... (2060 views) | | | Tasted by cfk49 on 12/1/2016 & rated 88 points: Cellared since original release. Disappointing bottle -- the wine seems to be going through a closed phase -- not unpleasant, but nothing thrilling here. Light but intense with red fruits, although lacking some definition. (2099 views) | | | Tasted by sawira on 10/23/2016 & rated 94 points: Bottle #2 of 5. Best wine of the night for me. Cool, lifted, bright red fruits (think cranberry), and silky and seamless. Brilliant. Slow oxed for 3 hours, then enjoyed in glass for two hours with no hint of degradation. Drinking beautifully right now, with maybe even some upside remaining. Certainly good for another decade (from my cool cellar). (1911 views) | | | Tasted by cfk49 on 4/1/2015 & rated 96 points: Cellared since release. Amazing bottle, just beginning to reach maturity, with crystalline dark fruits, precision, and the lightness of a figure skating champion. (2342 views) | | | Tasted by Dbrane on 1/1/2012 & rated 88 points: 2002 Gevrey and Chambolle 1ers (and others): Pure and sweet red Chambolle fruits. Nicely delicate yet with sufficient structure. Some cola. Fresh and quintessentially Chambolle. (3471 views) | | | Tasted by bristol411 on 2/15/2010 & rated 90 points: Very precise wine, and still a baby. Lovely pinot nose, and well balanced in the mouth, nice cherry and something floral. good length, a little bit dusty on the finish, but we are drinking this too young. I'm pleased I bought her '08s. (2659 views) | | | Tasted by sawira on 7/23/2008 & rated 94 points: Underneath a 100 year old Cottonwood tree in downtown Santa Fe, outdoors with soft, subtle jazz in the background, in the hustle/bustle summer peak of life-energy sounds filling the Spanish square. Served with baked cherry quail, risotto and haricot verts.
Fantastic, limpid cranberry garnet red to the rim. Nose of crushed minerals, sweet cranberries, warm ripe cherries, and violets. Floral, floral, floral! Reticent at first, then explosive. Cinnamon. Delightfully light, celestial even, barely touching the earth as its acid-profiled structure shows up at the 15 min mark.
Creamy oak whiffs on the nose after 30 minutes, giving way to an emerging sour fruit layer that blossoms. (Reminds me of the 04 Alesia Sonoma Pinot, with a European soil core - more compact and focused. Actually a compliment to the Alesia.) Then, earth + cinnamon + cranberries reassert themselves, in a medium-bodied, medium length tapestry.
This is followed at the 1 hour mark by a marked, intense, and spectacular olfactory assertion of earth: mushrooms and sous bois, which is then complimented by that familiar cotton candied pinot nose - (good nose candy!) but in a clean, subtle, balanced way that adds to the already established taut, steady, food-friendly palate foundation.
1 1/2 hours - Warming. Another wave of etheric Chambolle nose bursts forth, followed by yet another wave of the lean and focused mineral/earth-based sous bois-oriented palate. More cotton candy hints and warm, ripe cherry/cranberry throughout, followed by a wafting of deliciously spicy shellac/varnish on top of carmelized cherry compote. DEEP, dank, dark 98 point red fruited nose, while the palate still shows a cranberry/light, acid-oriented fruit profile. With each glass refill the huge 'varnish, dense cotton candy on top of an earthen/mineral core' nose gives way slowly to a sour red fruit palate.
And then another pour! 2 hours later, still growing and evolving. Rebuy (if I can find any). Pardon the long note, 94 quality, 98 magical moment. (2677 views) | | | Tasted by psmith on 7/17/2006 & rated 90 points: A few days in Burgundy; 7/13/2006-7/17/2006 (Cote d'Or): Reticent nose shows dust and black cherry notes. Grapey on the palate, with rich young fruits. Forward, but with a classic structure and hard finish. A bit Vogue-like and very hard to read young. Needs lots of time. (4943 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.Les Véroilles The Village-Vineyard on weinlagen-inof

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
Côte de Nuits on weinlagen.infoChambolle-Musigny 1er CruChambolle-Musigny is one of the smallest appellations of the Côte de Nuits, although given the tiny, fragmented nature of Burgundy vineyards, it manages to fit two exceptional Grand Crus (Bonnes Mares and Le Musigny) and a couple of dozen Premieres Crus. These wines are known for delicacy and tend to be light in body, but concentrated and with fragrent bouquets. The critic Robert M. Parker Jr. quotes French poet Gaston Roupnel as likening the region's wines to "silk and lace."
----
Di Giancarlo marino: comunque. Les Noirottes è un cru situato quasi al centro di Chambolle, subito ad est di Bonnes Mares, ed è confinante tra gli altri con i 1er cru Les Baudes (segnalo quello di H. Lignier), Les Sentieres (segnalo quello di R. Groffier), e aux Beaux Bruns (molto citato dalla stampa quello di D. Mortet, io preferisco quello di Ghislaine Barthod). Pur essendo ben situato, questo 1er cru non mi risulta aver mai dato vini di particolare pregio. Per chi ama e cerca lo "spirito" vero di Chambolle, oltre allo scontato Les Amoureuses (notevoli quelli di De Vogue, Roumier, Groffier, Amiot-Servelle...) ed a quelli già citati, consiglio Les Cras di G. Roumier e Ghislaine Barthod, Derrier la Grange di Amiot-Servelle, Haut Doix di Groffier. Volendo scegliere tra i Village, sono tutti buoni quelli di Groffier, Ghislaine Barthod e Roumier, produttori che eccellono regolarmente anche nelle denominazioni minori. Volendo parlare di Chambolle, occorrerà prima o poi dire qualcosa anche dei grand cru: la mia passione per i Bonnes Mares è nota ai miei amichetti sciagattati.
