Community Tasting Notes (6) Avg Score: 92.3 points

  • A wine that is drinking so very well right now. The nose shows a rustic edge with a good amount of dirty funk that is in combination with some very pure and bright red fruit. Getting towards that autumnal thing on the palate with a predominantly mulchy quality that supplements the fruit. With more time, this will undoubtedly become even more umami, but it is at an excellent spot for me, where the fruit still manages to come through quite clearly.

  • Red-fruited, delicate, perfumed, this is stereotypical Chambolle. Air exposes a little more earth and mushroom, but this bottle isn't quite as funky as the last one a year and a half ago. Drinking splendidly right now, with a silky texture and firmly secondary notes, though there is still fruit to provide a plusher framing.

  • Sunday Funday (Chicago, IL): I really love how 2000 red Burgundy has been developing in the last few years, and this bottle is no exception. The light hand that Barthod uses I think causes the fruit to seem to dissipate a little earlier than most other producers, and a lot of the mushroom and barnyard comes forward with the retreat of the fruit. This is a wine that's sitting right inbetween the two phases (though it's a little more funky than I generally like my Burgundy). There's a beautiful red-fruited element here, and the lightness still shows prominently. I won't be waiting to drink up the rest of my bottles.

  • Found this buried in the cellar; popped and poured. Clear medium-light red; no browning. Somewhat shy nose of red berries and a touch of a woodsy quality; elegant on the palate with classic Chambolle laciness combined red fruits and a touch of forest floor. This has held up beautifully and is ready to drink.

  • I find most 2000s to be a little fuzzy and often to have high alcohol, so I'm not a big a fan as some. This bottle was an exception though -- no doubt in part due to the high location of the vines. Red fruits, medium-weight with voluptuousness (but not too much) and a touch of cedar in the nose.
