| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.9 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 20 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Chaochao on 3/4/2022 & rated 88 points: Big wine on the nose and the stuffing. South Indian spices and floral nose : cumin+cardamom+jasmine. Quite unlike the later vintages in style which I much prefer. Missing mystery and allure. (703 views) | | | Tasted by Burgnick on 8/31/2019 & rated 92 points: Beautiful nose with bright red fruit, spice, and graphite. Palate had sweet red fruit with medium plus stuffing. Good length. A very good 07 red burg. (1533 views) | | | Tasted by Burgnick on 1/26/2019 & rated 92 points: Nose was deep with dates, sweet wild berries, herbs, and soil. Palate had very good weight and density with dates and dark fruit. Verh nice structure. Cathiard’s heavy handed style certain lifted the weak vintage. After an hour of bottle breathing, the wine opened up beautifully. The fruit was firm and solid with rocky minerality. (1620 views) | | | Tasted by WoodieBayArea on 12/28/2018: NR as no notes and a holiday 'fest atmosphere (loads of drinking going on)... have enjoyed how some of my '07's are drinking these days, but don't remember being 'struck' in any way by this wine... hmmm -- may just be that it was late in the evening... will be interested to see how my last bottle drinks (1331 views) | | | Tasted by pclin on 5/3/2018 & rated 93 points: Excellent showing today, fantastic on the nose and was able to hang in there with more expensive wines today. Doubt that ‘07 Cathiard Malconsorts would be better than this. Years of drinking ahead. (1822 views) | | | Tasted by HenrikSandberg on 8/18/2016 & rated 92 points: Opplevde denne som silkemyk, elegant og sømløs med fint integrert eik. Vanilje og røde bær, jordbær, OK lengde. En god vin og flott tilgjengelig nå! (2423 views) | | | Tasted by pclin on 7/2/2016 & rated 92 points: Coravined. This wine is in semi-shut down, awkward stage. Nose is floral with hints of oaks. Big wine for an '07, showing plenty of tannins and acidity, long and slightly bitter finish. Seems to have put on some weight. Still mainly primary. Certainly does not display the lush yet weightless characteristics shown 3 years ago, time to wait, no idea when this will re-emerge but this wine should have a very long life ahead. Shows better one hour later, notes of flowers, coffee, oaks, and burnt sugar. Acidity subsides and tannins soften slightly but still abound. (2201 views) | | | Tasted by LW31 on 5/20/2015 & rated 91 points: Much too young still. Seductive, Vosne nose; palate is textured and creamy. Still tightly wound even after 30-40 minutes in the glass, and oak that hasn't quite integrated. But a very promising, elegant wine that showed well with food. (2733 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 4/29/2015 & rated 91 points: Floral and spice driven start with a cross-section of B&R cherry on both nose and palate. Lots of spice flavors that comes across as very Vosne-like, with lots of good textures. Very good now. (2878 views) | | | Tasted by pclin on 1/21/2015 & rated 93 points: This does not have the weightless feel to it unlike a couples of bottle sometimes last year, nevertheless, this is still very good. Delicious as usual, one of the best purchase over the last few years. (A) (2642 views) | | | Tasted by pclin on 8/21/2014 & rated 92 points: This is in the process of shutting down again. Notable tannins, higher acidity and more oaks. Not as balance as previous bottles, time to wait for another few years before opening the rest of the case. (2682 views) | | | Tasted by pclin on 4/9/2014 & rated 93 points: Very similar to previous notes. It's never about how tasty the wine is but about how to keep my hands from a case opened a year back. May not be anything left by the time it's mature. (2343 views) | | | Tasted by pclin on 1/29/2014 & rated 94 points: Floral nose. Sweet and smooth tannins, almost weightless. Notes of rose petals, violets, wet earth, and spicy stems. Medium bodied with great balance. Delicious stuff just lack depth of great Grand Cru, or would have been above 95 pts. If this is supposed to be an off vintage, I am happy to drink this every day. Magic of 80 years old vines. Can 07' Cathiard Malconsorts be much better than this? Maybe Allen Meadows is correct in saying this in his 07' Cathiard Malconsorts note: "As good as this is, it's not presently clear if it holds its usual superiority over the Murgers in 2007". Such a big fan of this wine that I ended up buying the 02', 05', 06', 07', and 10' vintages. Should I pick up 09' and 12' too? 92-94 pts. (2127 views) | | | Tasted by pclin on 10/22/2013 & rated 93 points: Good nose, floral and intense. Right after uncorked, shows slightly more red fruits with dry mid-palate. As it sits in the glass throughout the 2 hrs lunch, continue to add weight and complexity with black fruits emerging. Notes of red, black fruits, violet, spicy stem and toasty oak. Long and delicious for a 07' 1er Cru. Yum! (2233 views) | | | Tasted by pclin on 10/11/2013 & rated 94 points: Beautiful nose. Floral and intense, sweet tone. Notes of spice, violet, blackberry, and toasty oak. Good mixture of black and red fruits. Sweet and and smooth on entry, open and delicious. Slightly dry mid-palate and touch of warmth at finish. Good balance overall. Pretty wine, this is more about finasse than power, but sneaky long.This ought to be one of the best Murgers. Picked up a case at bargain price a few months back. Looks like price have gone north quite a bit since Burgs drinkers start to realize a lot of 07' Red Burgs are much better than initial assessment during EP and most of them are selling at relatively good prices. 92-94 pts. (2073 views) | | | Tasted by Vini Ciclismo on 9/24/2013 & rated 89 points: Rich red colour, nice lustre.
Dark notes, black cherry, dusty oak, deep fragrant florals.
Silky, red cherries and blood plum, gentle cherry stone sourness, ok balance, oak spice a shade too strong, smooth crisp finish. Flavours a bit on the blunt side. (1553 views) | | | Tasted by pclin on 3/20/2013 & rated 93 points: Good nose. Floral and expressive. More Vosne than Nuits. Slightly more red fruits than black fruits. Notes of wet earth, red cherry with hints of toasty oaks at finish. Decent length and structure for a 2007 Burgundy. 13.5% alcohol level with slight heat at finish. Approachable and enjoyable now. Maintains good balance on 2nd day, tasty. No hint of alcohol. 90-93 pts. (2245 views) | | | Tasted by jerhardt on 3/2/2012 & rated 91 points: Alongside the 2006. This suffered only by comparison. Not quite as elegant and pure, this seems to have been pushed a bit more. Slightly riper with some new oak showing through. (2404 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 12/4/2011 & rated 91 points: Knightsbridge Holiday Burgundy Sale (Northbrook, IL): Floral notes and spice dominate the nose, showing beautiful pure fruit as well as some new oak elements. Red and black cherry with good spice on palate, moderately long, quite elegant. Both this and the Mugneret-Gibourg NSG Chaignots showed well for 2007 NSGs today, a place which I've generally avoided in the vintage because of lots of lean, under ripe fruit. (3639 views) | | | Tasted by G SQUARED on 12/1/2008: Tasted at the Domaine with Sylvain. Murgers are what the french call the stones that line the sides of certain vineyards. Good grip, nice tannins, closed nose. Will be very fine. (2494 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.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

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
