| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.7 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 17 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by jamesabdavis on 10/31/2021: Aromatic nose of earth and mint, red fruits in the background.
Lovely, complete, balanced light-to-midweight presence on the palate. Really impressive for a wine at this level and this age.
Nice fresh, mineral-infused finish with good persistence and length.
Barthod wines for eventually come round! (413 views) | | | Tasted by VINNICK on 10/6/2020 & rated 91 points: Light to medium bodied. Crushed strawberries and raspberries. High acidity but in a good way. Very refreshing. Nice wine. (510 views) | | | Tasted by stephen locke on 6/14/2019 & rated 91 points: Now into it's stride.
Vibrant pale red with a watery edge, a nose of red fruits with some spice and secondary notes of sweet leaves. Real energy on the palate the sweet fruit lifted by the balanced acidity. Long finish that just has a little noticeable acidity but it's not upsetting things. Refreshing and drinkable. (662 views) | | | Tasted by AtoZ on 12/30/2015: Very good and drinking nicely. (1533 views) | | | Tasted by pbjosh on 11/22/2011: Sweet red fruits and perfume meet forest floor. Not a lot of complexity but good character, perfect balance and very enjoyable. Better after 20 minutes of air but had weakened some by day 2. (3031 views) | | | Tasted by spacewrangler on 10/2/2011: Beautiful nose leads you to expect greatness from the palate. While acid driven, the wine was tight and maybe needs a few more years. But not sure there's enough fruit to wait that long. (2702 views) | | | Tasted by stephen locke on 8/8/2010 & rated 84 points: good, but suffered from following the savigny. some fruit but the acidity was a bit too obvious for me - not sure if more time will sort it out or accentuate it. (2963 views) | | | Tasted by collin on 1/29/2010: Rather vinous nose of dust and minerals and violets. Sweet on the palate without much hint of fruit that I noticed. While the wine is not great -- I would have preferred more precision -- this really hit the spot tonight. (2977 views) | | | Tasted by markfitz on 9/1/2009: The nose had something this time. Not enough to shout about but there was something. To drink there was a lightness of body yet way more dark cherry fruit (initially strawberry but quickly developing a spiciness) and some decent length. Alas, an hour later it was less expressive if anything. Night 2 and pure fruit leapt out. Strawberry followed by spicy cherry. It showed excellent body and length, all packaged in an enjoyable, balanced fashion. Perhaps this just needs a few more years yet! (2143 views) | | | Tasted by markfitz on 7/1/2009: First impressions are dicey. The colour is much paler than expected, even for a Pinot. There is no aroma whatsoever. To drink it is light but pleasant. With a little swirling and a few minutes, fruity aromas are emerging: a bitter-cherry streak with a silken mouthfeel and a mineral finish, though the nose remained dumb. It seemed weightless and feminine but lacked bouquet, depth and complexity. (1442 views) | | | Tasted by pbaek on 1/23/2009: Decent, but not outstanding Chambolle from Barthod. I found a lot of floral if not green flavors in the wine and it didn't really turn my senses on. Pretty, feminine wine, maybe a bit on the young side, but on the other hand I doubt this will turn into something spectacular. (1717 views) | | | Tasted by winenutnyc on 10/1/2008: popped and poured. Lovely nose with violets, dirt and cinnamon- the palate is all about pure cherry fruit- very elegant and fine with lots of energy. Amazing villages- Just about the perfect Tuesday night wine. (1817 views) | | | Tasted by dbkitc on 8/29/2007 & rated 88 points: (at BLT – Market) Similar profile to the les veriolles from last night with a more predominant mineral profile and less richness, complexity and depth. Still very fine. Enjoyable today, but will hold for five years, no problem. The pure cherry fruit is very satisfying. (88) (1823 views) | | | Tasted by Will on 4/21/2006: Superb bottle of Chambolle, very impressive for a village. Complex nose, great mouthfeel, nice finish. Quite "feminine" in style, terroir-driven, very pure. A great bottle that prompts me to try and discover this producer more. (2155 views) | | | Tasted by TinMan on 11/13/2005 & rated 89 points: Great nose to start with a very pleasant combination of light fruits (per Tanzer.) A smooth, nice finish---an excellent but not great wine for reasonable, pleasurable introduction to red burgundy. (2237 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
Côte de Nuits on weinlagen.infoChambolle-MusignyChambolle-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 fragrant bouquets. The critic Robert M. Parker Jr. quotes French poet Gaston Roupnel as likening the region's wines to "silk and lace." |
