| Community Tasting Notes (average 90 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 56 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by honest bob on 3/17/2024 & rated 91 points: From 75cl, a bottle of impeccable provenance, exquisite cork with no staining back from wine end. Quick decant off minimal powdery sediment. Expressive, complex scent with the promise of bright red morello fruit, hints of aromatic green herbs (rosemary, thyme), dried spice and a little forest floor earthy goodness. Light-bodied entry with good PN typicity, acid bright but not rampant, the texture makes me suspect full-bunch fermentation (or at least, that this wine must have tasted rather green and squeaky/astringent in its youth); mid-palate demonstates it is currently fully mature and wonderfully complex—-reiterating the aromatic themes of its initial scent, perhaps adding retronasal pine-forest. Short, clean finish. Drink now. 91P (208 views) | | | Tasted by dbkitc on 3/3/2024 & rated 90 points: Delicious but should be drunk soon. The red color has lost all purple. Crushed cranberries and gravel fill the lithe nose. The palate likewise has nothing extra. Balanced on an edge of fruit and acid. A wine for food. I love this style. (90) (291 views) | | | Tasted by Charlie Carnes on 7/30/2023 & rated 94 points: Just a little village wine… it’s so good! The acid is really in check, red/purple-red fruit is surely bright, and tart, nearly soaring, with pretty perfumed earth, and something akin to gingerbread. This a tasty, tasty wine, begging for a nice meal to go with it. (665 views) | | | Tasted by rc@ughey on 4/17/2023 & rated 92 points: Very similar to the last bottle but perhaps even better. This is bright and acidic like you'd expect but the red and brambly fruits keep things just deep enough. Very crunchy and drinkable. (803 views) | | | Tasted by kingkanu on 4/15/2023: Medium body, showing some burnt orange flecks through the transluscent ruby colour. Dark cherry fruit that’s gracefully declining, the texture in the mouth is silky smooth, some smooth tannins, the lovely acidity cuts through everything cleanly, long and satisfying to finish. This tastes in such a good place tonight, should develop for a while but I’m loving the fruit so much right now (624 views) | | | Tasted by MLipton on 1/13/2023: What a gorgeous bottle of wine! Light on the palate yet bursting with fruit, lively and food-friendly. My only regret is that I don't have more. (699 views) | | | Tasted by Rezy13 on 5/9/2022: Definitely in a stage of transition, this has lost its luster and the fruit and floral is wilted, this is heavier and a touch clumsier than I’m used to with Barthod but honestly not disappointed based on the great 2008s I’ve had recently that taste more advanced than this, meaty and earthy mix, dense yet never heavy this retains enough Chambolle elegance and sweet fruit to be a nice drink over a couple days. (1264 views) | | | Tasted by MarshallLi on 3/17/2022 & rated 89 points: Between the edge of dead and alive. The structure is still there but the nose of flower couldn’t keep longer anymore, better drink it in a year (961 views) | | | Tasted by alanr on 4/30/2021 & rated 91 points: Darker garnet in color, lovely lightly spiced nose, fairly intense dark black cherry fruit, with excellent well balanced acidity, just a hint of tartness, the spice advertised on the nose chimes in after the initial wave of fruit starts to fade, leading into quite a long, lingering finish. Moderate fine tannins show on the finish, but are fairly well resolved. Delicious now, but has years of life ahead. Quite delicious, particularly for a 2008. (1417 views) | | | Tasted by aagrawal on 4/29/2021 & rated 90 points: Wine Dinner (Zoom): Tasted blind. Light ruby, slight bricking; medium intensity aromatics, red fruited, strawberry, slight funk that blows off with air, slight minerals; palate is light bodied, high acidity, low alcohol, low-medium tannins but with a velvety texture, red fruited; finish is medium length. Seems like a classic red burgundy, elegant and well balanced, moderate age but certainly not overly so. I can’t guess exactly which subregion. 90 (1527 views) | | | Tasted by concord on 2/28/2021: Red fruits on the palate, but maybe fruit fading and acidity quite noticeable. Perhaps look to drink soonish. (1190 views) | | | Tasted by jjct on 1/15/2021: This bottle was in a great spot. All the best properties of 2008 were shining, plus some charming Chambolle allure. Delicious. (1077 views) | | | Tasted by burgconvert on 11/7/2020 flawed bottle: Popped 5+ hours prior, but never never opened. Seemed cooked. Left overnight and some strawberry on the nose came through but faint. Palate was flat and shot, reminiscent traces of soy. Hopefully just this bottle, but the K&L pair from auction probably traveled together (1286 views) | | | Tasted by collin on 7/8/2020: Needs an hour or so in the decanter, and definitely shows the character of the '08 vintage. But drinking very well to my tastes and perfect with roast chicken. (1189 views) | | | Tasted by WEB,III on 6/7/2020 & rated 91 points: Arguably the most delicious bottle yet especially paired with mallard and a shiitake reduction. (1192 views) | | | Tasted by palfr2 on 5/29/2020: Brownish rather evolved color. Tertiary aromas ; earthy. Floral on the nose with the notes typical of borderline underripe Pinot. Still holds itself with moderately long finish but without notable lift or complexity. After 2 hour airing acidity characteristic of the vintage comes to the fore. Drink up or keep one in the name of science. (1226 views) | | | Tasted by Snowey on 5/5/2020: Color had some brick but no sediment.
Absolutely delightful. Beautiful beautiful beautiful nose with shrooms, earth, and the fruit trying to claw its way out of the glass. Flavor was very acidic but after a couple of hours the fruit was charming.
Beautiful wine.
Reluctantly left a glass for day2 and earth flavors showed up stronger on the nose with plenty of fruit and acidity in balance on the palate.
Need to try more barthod! Also, it makes me realize that CT scores don’t mean much w/o the descriptions. (1305 views) | | | Tasted by rc@ughey on 4/13/2020 & rated 92 points: Delicious villages that exemplifies what I like about Red Burgundy. But this was also an exercise in why you need to let certain wines breathe. Upon opening, this shows the bad side of 08. It is initially very acidic, quite lean, and lacking in fruit. Although I often enjoy bright, angular Burgs, this is an extreme example -- at least initially. But with 2-3 hours in the decanter, it begins to show everything great about 08. The fruit really fleshes out and the acids mellow. And with 4-5 hours in the decanter, the fruit becomes even more beautiful and layered but without losing the initial brightness. When it all comes together, this wine is just a flat-out gorgeous Chambolle, with crunchy red fruits, fine details, and real minerality. This is a wine that would never, ever be confused for anything but Burgundy, and it's not one that would appeal to a New World palate. But it's so satisfying for what it is. (1536 views) | | | Tasted by MJReb on 3/19/2020 & rated 90 points: Similar note to the one posted a month ago. (1188 views) | | | Tasted by MJReb on 2/4/2020 & rated 90 points: Red fruit, cherries and cranberries, earthy notes, the wine is light, but well made for this complicated vintage. (1292 views) | | | Tasted by Andydna on 12/24/2019 & rated 91 points: Initially the nose opens with truffle and earth. That receded eventually. Tasty bright cherry on the palate. (1133 views) | | | Tasted by heymamalow on 11/14/2018 & rated 91 points: Shared a bottle with FO (“forthright” initials i know!) at Noble Rot.
No need for elaborate notes. Enjoyable, smooth, nice fruit with a good amount of tension / acidity.
have some of the 2005s in the cellar and can’t wait to taste them. (1686 views) | | | Tasted by french16 on 10/6/2018: With Cesar and Luis.
Super elegant, on the lighter side, red fruit and earthy.
Very nice. (1572 views) | | | Tasted by soyhead on 5/20/2018: Nose - lovely red cherry, ripe apple
Mouth - smooth cornucopia of red fruits, lush and nicely drinking. (1883 views) | | | Tasted by dbkitc on 10/23/2017 & rated 90 points: Ruby red that shows a touch of bricking near the rim. Bursting red fruit nose that has an earthy edge. Just like this MG from last night, this wine is a delight in pure essence of Burgundy. A bit zippier than last night's bottle, this is a lovely high-toned dinner companion. It has mellowed a bit with bottle age. Should continue to drink really well for another 7+ years.

| 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." |
