| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.8 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 12 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by weezie on 8/5/2023 & rated 93 points: Consistent with prior notes, although this bottle seems to have lost a bit of tension. Also, the acidity, especially initially, was a bit too much and almost made the wine seem a bit thin (if that makes sense). Still a very nice bottle - but I wouldn’t wait too long as this may very well be on the decline (90 views) | | | Tasted by weezie on 5/28/2023 & rated 93 points: Similar to prior note. Very good QPR. (85 views) | | | Tasted by rlove on 7/14/2018 & rated 95 points: At its peak and drinking perfectly tonight, the 2008 Corton-Charlie has a bit of everything: Rich, spiced pear; mushroom aromas; pure minerality; and just a slight trace of pain grillé. A more powerful wine than expected for the vintage, with large-scale spiced orchard fruit on the palate, all brought home by crisp acidity and a beautiful mineral core. The finish lingers indefinitely. This is phenomenal. (871 views) | | | Tasted by weezie on 3/24/2018 & rated 94 points: Beautiful Corton-Charlie. Mineral and linear in character, with remarkable salinity and a long, elegant, clean finish. Very easy to drink, and hands down the wine of the night. While not as rich or complex as the 2009 Boillot Puligny-Montrachet, it was the clear favorite (both unaccompanied and paired with truffled foie gras, as well as epoisse cheese) (561 views) | | | Tasted by Cbartel on 3/2/2018 & rated 86 points: A little too much oxidization. I wish I had drunk this earlier. Still good complexity and enjoyed it with scallops. (599 views) | | | Tasted by KVM on 8/22/2014 flawed bottle: premoxed. badly. (1007 views) | | | Tasted by KVM on 8/22/2014 & rated 92 points: Second bottle is bright, has apple and mineral nose. This is about structure and freshness. The fruit is fresh but not fleshy. Long mineral finish. (1090 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 5/18/2013 & rated 90 points: Flickinger "Significant Cellar" Tasting...the New Releases (Chicago, IL): Lean styled aromas, lots of orchard fruit with spice hints. Lean and precise apple flavors, plenty of acidity, moderate nuance and length. (1741 views) | | | Tasted by KVM on 6/28/2012 & rated 91 points: Enjoyed this wine with two friends from Thailand. Light to medium yellow. Lemon, pineapple and mineral nose. This has sweet, round fruit and modest oak but currently the racy mineral/acid structure dominates. This wine has a teriffic future. Surprisingly, it was NOT a great match for raw oysters. (1213 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
