| Community Tasting Notes (average 88 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by zbsussman on 4/19/2012 & rated 91 points: Jesus. This wine should NOT still be alive. And yet, it's still fresh. Okay, it's just a passetoutgrain, but, my god, this is a 13-year-old passetoutgrain that's still drinking gorgeously. I'm in love. Certainly mature, but not nearly close to retirement-- I would have guessed an '05! I'm just shocked that this bottle is still packing such a delectable punch. A real treat; doubt anyone still has bottles around, but if you do, drink up, you won't be disappointed! (2668 views) | | | Tasted by AndrewSGHall on 3/10/2012: Totally jazzed on how good this was. Solid fruit, a gamey-undertone and pretty textures. Really knocked it out of the park. (2179 views) | | | Tasted by rc@ughey on 12/9/2009 & rated 85 points: Knockout Burgundy nose made brighter by the Gamay. Unfortunately, there was no follow through on the hollow palate. This wine has lost any intensity that it had and now comes off a bit boring. Okay, and better than your average Beaujolais, but once one gets past the nose it's very hollow. (2857 views) | | | Tasted by Brad L on 11/26/2009: Very dense and dark, and a little oaky. Still young. (2793 views) | | | Tasted by AndrewSGHall on 12/10/2003: Upfront rich fruit with earthy notes and stoney aspects. Currants and berries, slight watercress peppery notes and very clean finish. High in acid as well. Very well-rounded, though not complex. Absolutely perfectly paired with a rabbit-mushroom-butternut squash shepherd’s pie. Good by itself, great with dinner and cheeses.

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
