| Community Tasting Notes (average 93.5 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 13 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by dssmith on 8/24/2014 & rated 93 points: This is a nicely balanced wine with great fruit and oak. (2360 views) | | | Tasted by Burglover13 on 5/1/2014 & rated 93 points: Out of magnum. Wine took about an hour to really develop that lush Batard character. Muted nose and a short-ish finish are keeping it a point or two shy of being truly impressive. Now mature, but it's not going south soon, especially from the larger format. Truly a very nice glass, especially at the price point. (2496 views) | | | Tasted by PeterH on 7/17/2011 & rated 94 points: tasty.. (3930 views) | | | Tasted by buckeye76 on 5/26/2011 & rated 93 points: RICH CHARDONNAY PERFECT WITH THE RISOTTO WITH CRISP FRUIT, NICE COMPLEXITY AND A LONG FINISH. (1280 views) | | | Tasted by St Paul on 3/12/2011 & rated 93 points: Lovely wine with a nice length. It lacked a bit of freshness though and showed a quite burned aftertaste after some time in the glass. I take that down to the vintage. (3883 views) | | | Tasted by PeterH on 1/6/2011 & rated 94 points: Yummy (3063 views) | | | Tasted by PeterH on 7/26/2009 & rated 94 points: This is really nice stuff. Understated white Burg, some lemon, some custard, no oak that I can sense (great integration at this age!). The first glass was gulpably delicious. Good length. (2894 views) |

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
