| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.4 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 17 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by LWI on 2/7/2022 & rated 92 points: Blind. Dark, seductive, lovely without being impressive. (1263 views) | | | Tasted by T.E.D. on 3/28/2020 & rated 90 points: Clumsy on the open with some plummy notes. With air show if natural funk which dissipates to more clay, minerals, gravel and ripe cherry fruit. Integrated but lacking some depth. (1698 views) | | | Tasted by LWI on 2/16/2020 & rated 92 points: Blind. Wonderful sweet and open fruit, earthy and spicy, balanced and easy drinking. (1596 views) | | | Tasted by BenBlu on 1/15/2020 & rated 93 points: Served blind I thought this could have been Vosne and Hudelot Noellat did come to mind but I would have possibly have this down for a Beaumont. I always like Hudelot CdV and this was no exception. Lacking a bit of stuffing maybe compared to other more lauded vintages I have had (02, 09 an 10) this was certainly in a good spot. (1782 views) | | | Tasted by Roland67 on 1/4/2020 & rated 92 points: Mature nose with tobacco notes and black pepper. On the palate surprisingly light and soft for a ´08, but pleasant with dark fruit and a medium long finish. I like it. 91-93P (1483 views) | | | Tasted by Rollerball on 3/22/2018 & rated 92 points: Hudelot-Noellat, a Favorite Producer (The Wolf, Oakland): Dark as night. Gorgeous, dangerous bouquet of berries, beef blood, and dandelions. High acid that relaxes with air. This is not too young . Totally appealing juicy and nice. A deep clear cherry licorice candy. now-2025 (1908 views) | | | Tasted by soyhead on 3/22/2018: nose - beef blood, savory, sweaty
mouth - ripe fruit but roughness detected on the tannins (2178 views) | | | Tasted by LWI on 3/9/2018 & rated 91 points: Blind. High acid, some complexity, animal fur, this must be a PN?, some development. Guessed Gevrey. (1676 views) | | | Tasted by EhrlichDY on 1/14/2018 & rated 93 points: Popped and decanted and enjoyed over two hours. This got better and better with air. Plenty of fruit, lively acidity, and a fair dose of tannin. Good concentration and sap suggests this will continue to age well for years to come. No harm in opening this now but I suspect it will get bette for at least the next ten years. (1568 views) | | | Tasted by acyso on 9/22/2017 & rated 90 points: This is certainly on the young side right now. The nose opens up with a lot of dirty funk, which certainly speaks of Clos Vougeot to me, as far as grand cru goes. The fruit profile here is also a bit darker than I would expect in 2008 as well. The palate is fairly sappy, and while the tannins are a bit tough, there seems to be enough fruit to age. This is not one of the overly light 2008 wines that I perennially worry about. (2394 views) | | | Tasted by SRW963 on 12/23/2015 & rated 91 points: medium body and finish which will improve with another few years. (2630 views) | | | Tasted by JOsgood on 5/25/2015: A bruiser. Big and powerful. Needs to be paired with a meat dish. Serious iron and earthy funk. (3226 views) | | | Tasted by Papies on 2/19/2013 & rated 90 points: Clos Vougeot Masterclass, with James Handford MW (Handford Wines, London): Red fruits, light smoky feel and a touch floral on the nose. Young on the palate, but with good purity and definition of fruit. A touch austere for burgundy standards , but still a good wine whih is pleasant to enjoy even now in its youth. 90 (5871 views) | | | Tasted by lepetitchateau on 11/17/2010 & rated 92 points: Nice size here on the nose; beautiful, succulent red fruit on the attack. Acidity is in check for the most part, the finish is really pretty but there is some nagging acidity on the finish. (5236 views) | | | Tasted by Hazeo on 11/5/2010 & rated 90 points: Lighter than the NSG next to it but fresher. A touch under ripe I felt but really good minerals complexity on the finish (5063 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 9/10/2010: Hudelot-Noellat Cellar Visit and Tasting (Vougeot): Tasting at Domaine.Dense fruit, more black than red with lots of power and structure. Not showing much finesse, this wine has lots of concentration so will hold up well in the cellar, I'm just not sure if we're talking 10 or 20 years for it to reach maturity. A very masculine Clos Vougeot. (4637 views) | | | Tasted by nskelsey on 1/12/2010 & rated 91 points: Medium-light in colour and weight. Like most 2008s this is pure and transparent. Pretty red fruit with a vibrant finish. Estimated maturity: 2014+ (3646 views) |

| Alain Hudelot-Noëllat Producer websitePinot 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
