| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.8 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 146 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 3/4/2024: Had that blood aged pinot noir note to it. I'd say time to drink up! (825 views) | | | Tasted by canan on 2/23/2024 & rated 94 points: T's 45th Birthday (Søllerød Kro): From magnum. Refined and precise wine with lots of drinking pleasure. It has refined light cherry and strawberry fruit and a touch of wet leaves. But, it does present itself as a very young wine still.
There is a touch of For me, it lacked a bit of intensity but overall, it was a great wine! (720 views) | | | Tasted by Throughthegrapevine on 12/26/2023 & rated 92 points: Exactly how it should be! Well done! Drinking perfectly at age 14 (1022 views) | | | Tasted by oxwombat on 12/21/2023 & rated 91 points: Enjoyed at Otto e Mezzo. Small glass generously shared. Bottle already previously opened.
This was better than I thought it'd be - drinking very well, Mugnier charm, clearly excellent condition bottle. Red fruits, delicate, none of that NSG 'rusticity' at all. Almost a hint of Vosne Spice, which would probably fool me if I was tasting this blind.
This is probably at peak now and am very glad to enjoy this, even though it feels like it will hold for many years at this level assuming good provenance and storage. Thanks to JR for sharing! (1342 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 10/12/2023 & rated 91 points: Still fairly rich, concentrated and primary though with the deft touch of Mugnier that gives it refinement and lift. True to NSG with a meaty, funky note throughout that adds interest. Still 3-5 years from peak drinking, but approachable now. (1619 views) | | | Tasted by JLCFan on 7/27/2023 & rated 95 points: Earthy, olive nose and meaty.
Very intense palate, earthy and brooding with cherry liquor and plummy fruit. Extremely savory; this is predominated by dark fruit.
Intensely tannic but enough acidity to balance. Very, very good, long finish. (1674 views) | | | Tasted by _water.into.wine_ on 7/20/2023 & rated 92 points: Still surprisingly young for 14 years. From the bottle it was all dark fruits on the nose, almost Bordeaux ish given the blackcurrants and cherries. Definitely got better with air but remains youthful. Both unfiltered and unfined, very cloudy and dark in the glass. A lush mouthfeel
Had with GLT at Kingyu (1725 views) | | | Tasted by Achermann on 2/6/2023 & rated 92 points: No signs of bottle age in the glass (or in general).
Dark cherries, blackberries, licorice, rose. Very nice nose.
A little more muted on the palate with some greenish aromas, unripe raspberries, tea. Medium tannins, quite rustic still. Nice minerality.
Unbelievably young.
Hold. (2436 views) | | | Tasted by Rezy13 on 1/22/2023: Clos de la Marechale Vertical (Decatur, GA): Cloudy maroon with crimson rim; some Band-Aid Bretty funk on the nose, riper fruit, medicinal, almost seems like Grenache, a nice wine but not what I'm looking for in red Burgundy, warm year profile mars this wine as it did the Chambolle Musigny tasted months earlier. (1084 views) | | | Tasted by pdrago on 1/13/2023: Still primary with plenty of structure. Nose is red fruited and elegant. Perfumed. Hold. (1983 views) | | | Tasted by Sean Tay on 1/7/2023 & rated 96 points: Pronounce nose intensity with notes of spices, red fruits, strawberries. Long finish. (1989 views) | | | Tasted by Aravind Asok on 12/31/2022: Pop and pour. A touch under 5 years since my last btl, and unlike many other 09s this shows basically no evolution. On the nose: red fruit, hard candy, pomegranate. On the palate: good acidity, thick red fruit, a touch hard like an 05.and serious tannin on the finish. Ignore for a while. (1798 views) | | | Tasted by jmoore431 on 10/8/2022 & rated 92 points: Fifth course: served with “Guinea hen duo” with a very rich sauce. The fine grained tannins cut the dish’s richness. Real finesse and seeming delicacy with the game bird. 92+ (2795 views) | | | Tasted by kopatrota on 9/6/2022 & rated 95 points: superbe bouteille (2091 views) | | | Tasted by rc@ughey on 8/26/2022 & rated 90 points: Rich and ripe and long, and drinking quite well right now. It's a bit foursquare but it's a very satisfying Burg by any estimation. The current pricing of Mugnier is going a bit nutty so I'm not convinced this is worth the current tariff. (2177 views) | | | Tasted by sdchevs on 8/18/2022 & rated 92 points: Mid-ruby, amber edges; red fruit, earth, smoke, nose, hint of wood; mid-plus acids; medium to full tannins; good structure; long red fruit finish. 17 UC Davis scale, 92 other scales. (2039 views) | | | Tasted by evjoh on 7/11/2022: I thought this bottle brought by a friend was a tad heat damaged, and our somm agreed after a taste. Thankfully the only consequence is that it tasted more mature than expected. It was super aromatic with strong but aged fruit. What kept me coming back for more, though, was this deftly controlled nip of VA on the nose—it jumped out of the glass so quickly that you weren’t even sure it was there. Excellent wine in spite of its questionable storage. (2318 views) | | | Tasted by RobinTeo on 7/1/2022 & rated 94 points: Bottle breathed for 3 hours. A little tight and reticent and needed some time in glass to get much better. Opened up to cherries, rose and spices with some rustic flavours. Palate has good minerality along with tart red cherries, raspberries and jasmine tea. Multi-layered structure showing lovely balance and youthfulness. Finish elegant with medium acidity and medium tannins. A touch young for me at this moment, I will definitely keep the remaining of my case away for another 3 to 5 years before revisiting! (1224 views) | | | Tasted by melvinyeowq on 3/25/2022 & rated 91 points: Generous tasting sample from a friend. Very elegant nose with a healthy dose of oak that made me think Vosne at first, but with air the meatiness and rusticity of the wine came through so I thought that it was a lighter and more elegant Gevrey grand cru. A little more advanced than I expected for a 2009 with some bricking, but a very finely poised wine. (2631 views) | | | Tasted by hprphf on 3/10/2022 & rated 92 points: Zachy's La Paulee 2022 (Le Bernardin Prive): Magnum. Crazy aromatics on the wine, this is NSG? Floral, spicy, can easily be mistaken for Vosne. 92 (2716 views) | | | Tasted by HowardNZ on 1/14/2022 & rated 92 points: 2019 Visit to Cromwell (Central Otago, NZ): Blair’s wine served double blind. Deep, dark colour. A spicy bouquet of blackberries, blackcurrants and dark cherries, dried herbs, earth and notes of dark florals. On palate, earthy, meaty and savoury. Sous bois and dark fruited, with no hint of fruit sweetness. Some lifted, whole bunch herbal notes. Big boned, serious structure and tannins. Concentrated with iron ore at its core. If possible, hold for 5 – 10+ years. 92+. (3088 views) | | | Tasted by Jeanda on 12/14/2021 & rated 92 points: Nez intense et complexe sur les fruits noirs et les épices, mais pas encore sur des notes tertiaires. Aucune surmaturité à signaler dans ce millésime pourtant solaire. Bouche puissante, aux tanins un peu rustiques mais parfaitement équilibrée par une juste acidité. Le vin offre une belle profondeur et une longueur moyenne. A boire dès aujourd'hui ou à garder 3-5 ans, voire plus. (2740 views) | | | Tasted by dream on 11/1/2021 & rated 93 points: Wow, utterly impressive juice with great depth of cherry fruit and minerals. Really seems to be opening up now with more development to come for sure and it's just classic Burgundy in the making. I often dismiss this wine in its youth due to it's inherently lean flavor profile but it's a good match for the ripe '09 vintage which brings out the wine's true personality. 93+ (2904 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 8/21/2021 & rated 89 points: Sam's 60th Birthday (The Krengels - Bannockburn IL): Small glass, brief note. A wine I have had so many times, this is rich and fun like so many 2009s, even if not as perfectly harmonious as the best of previous bottles. This wine will hold well for a long time. (3471 views) | | | Tasted by melzar on 7/6/2021 & rated 91 points: Heavily extracted for a Mugnier wine. Probably characteristic of the vintage. Chunky, a little rustic, but ready to drink.

| Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier 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.Clos de la Maréchale On weinlagen-infoFrance Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

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
