| Community Tasting Notes (average 91 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 36 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by dexterng on 2/29/2024: This wine is way not ready. Very rebellious. The nose is nice, a bit of leather and mushroom, yet the taste is sharp red fruit, oak, too vibrant, even after a couple hours of bottle breathing. Chambolle wines should be calmer. I have a full case of it and I won't open another bottle at least in a year time, not that I think it will be ready, but I think once it's ready this wine would be really something.

(1730 views) | | | Tasted by tmurley@twolightsenergy.com on 12/29/2022 & rated 90 points: Solid, nice nose and fruit, Drink now (2282 views) | | | Tasted by prof b on 11/29/2022: Outstanding with a bit of air. Equally good the next day. drink now or hold. (2464 views) | | | Tasted by chablis28 on 8/27/2022 & rated 91 points: PnP & slow ox 90 mins prior to dinner in Riedel Burgs. Serving temp around 60. Semi translucent bright ruby red. Roses, underbrush & berries on the nose. Palate is mostly elegant w/a slightly less attractive bitter note on the finish. Red fruit, spice, underbrush & minerality on a slightly svelte frame for a '15. Better on night 2. 13% alc. One left that I'll plan to open 2026-2030. (2910 views) | | | Tasted by Rgentile on 3/6/2022: No formal note here: showing well, primary for sure and needs time to show its full potential. (2900 views) | | | Tasted by SARED on 10/14/2021 & rated 90 points: 90-91. Young and juicy. Not seeing the value here at $80+, prefer the producers VR. (2837 views) | | | Tasted by schan109 on 7/25/2021 & rated 92 points: Bottle breathe for 30 min. Nice aroma of raspberry and flower. The palate is juicy and offer some structure, with some minerality and branches. Medium finishing. Very nice to drink now but I think it could last for another few years before mature. (2903 views) | | | Tasted by Rgentile on 6/24/2021 & rated 93 points: Decanted for 20 mins then tasting pour.
Eye: deep ruby
Nose: cherries, strawberry, spice and a hint of plums and forest floor lurking. Sexy!!
Palate: Bing cherry, juicy plums with some clove perhaps. Medium plus acidity and a medium plus finish.
Overall, this is quite lovely and punches above its weight. 1er juice here. No rush here but this was so sexy I will have to hide them in my cellar from myself. Enjoy! (3015 views) | | | Tasted by probraided on 9/17/2020 & rated 92 points: Compared to the same vintage VR by the same producer, this wine is a bit more open and expressive. Redder fruit, more perfumed nose. As with VR, this village wine can be confused with a 1er cru if tasted blind. Great stuff. (3709 views) | | | Tasted by winecoffee on 6/10/2020 & rated 93 points: Beautiful Chambolle Musigny! Nose has the characteristic ornately floral bouquet of a Chambolle Musigny. The backend of the nose finishes with charred meats. The palate is intensely acidic and fleshy with deep notes of licorice and berries. Loved this wine. The first note made me feel like I jumped into a warm chocolate bath! Didn’t need any decanting. (3389 views) | | | Tasted by WineGuyDelMar on 5/30/2020 & rated 90 points: A bit more masculine than the 2014. Chambolle fruits are still old. Never had a bad wine from this producer. Me thinks a bit too you. Need some more to put away. Very solid. Decanted two hours. (3380 views) | | | Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 5/13/2020 & rated 92 points: Quite young but I couldn't help myself. Deep and dark nose of black cherries, with beef cubes, bacon, deep earth and sage. Crisp acidity frames the wine really well, while grippy tannins give it solid structure. Some strong tannins on the back end, but the acidity is really focused and lifts it up a bit. Dark cherries and pomegranate fruit (concentrated but tangy and fresh). I get spicy beef tones, sage, dried flowers, which will come out more with time. If I had another, I'd hold for four to six years. Killer village Chambolle. (3075 views) | | | Tasted by TC16 on 4/26/2020 & rated 91 points: First Hudelot and it delivered. Good Chambolle village wine. Bracing acidity gives way to soft rose petal and violet. (3088 views) | | | Tasted by bthatton on 4/14/2020 & rated 92 points: Punching above its weight. Concentrated but light on its feet. Earthy. Dark fruits. Beautiful. (2407 views) | | | Tasted by jfpwine on 4/18/2019 & rated 91 points: Bright ruby color. Red fruit, roses and light spice in the fairly open nose. Soft and inviting palate, with a slight tannic edge. Ends gracefully. Delicious but has the bones to age. Excellent entry level wine from a great producer. (3854 views) | | | Tasted by B Paul on 2/6/2019: Red fruit and minerality. A little brighter and more tart than the Vosne Romanee tasted recently (though comparable qualitatively). Better on night two. Solid for the price. (3553 views) | | | Tasted by chablis28 on 11/30/2018 & rated 93 points: Wow, what a beauty this was tonight with pan seared tuna! PnP and slow ox for 90+ minutes prior to dinner. Served just north of cellar temp to eventual low 60s. Semi translucent bright ruby red. Fantastic aromatics of; red berries, spice, chalk and light underbrush. The palate couldn't be more Chambolle with its silky, suave, weightless energetic mouthfeel. Elegant, expansive red fruit, spice, underbrush and minerality. Just a shadow of oak pops through but mostly well integrated. Dam, I wish I had bought more than 3 of these for the $45 I paid. What a steal that was! Fantastic and one of my best 2015s to date. 13% alc. (4450 views) | | | Tasted by RyanJames on 10/12/2018 & rated 91 points: Really beautiful nose that's almost entirely red raspberry notes along with some minerals and spice, but the raspberry note is really the highlight here. Unmistakeable Chambolle, but a bit tight and not particularly complex on the palate. The richness of the '15 vintage helps here but I found this to be not particularly remarkable, and enjoyed the '14 vintage more from this domaine. (3815 views) | | | Tasted by rocknroller on 9/4/2018 & rated 90 points: Burgundy, Rhone, Provence Trip; 9/3/2018-9/15/2018 (Burgundy, Rhone, Provence, France): Light medium ruby color, pretty. Drank 2 glasses over 2 hours. Ordered off the list at La Dilettante in Beaune. This was a little bit slow to get its legs, but after a good 30 minutes or so, it really began to unfold. The fruit of the vintage comes into the light, mixed red berries, mineral and some sleek tannins. This should improve over a couple years yet. (4580 views) | | | Tasted by fred o. on 6/23/2018: double decanted briefly before serving. Dark ruby with hint of transparency. Nose some spice, dark cherries, light vanilla. Palate dense/layered/coiled, some kirsch, nice depth to the body with some iron. Somewhat simple and closed to me at this point, either would decant more heartily or just lay it down and open in 5 years, somewhat of a waste to open at this point. 90 pts for now (3316 views) | | | Tasted by ESTEELE90 on 6/23/2018: Double blind tasting. Brief note. Pours a transparent purple in the glass. High toned perfumed red fruits, allspice, and ferrous earth dominate the otherwise closed and relatively thin midpalate. As time goes on this begins to flesh out slightly but never realizes its full potential. This needs much time. (3408 views) | | | Tasted by EMichels on 6/23/2018 & rated 89 points: Nice light body - dark color (1921 views) | | | Tasted by conviction buy on 3/26/2018 & rated 91 points: Pnp, dark ruby in color. Sweet floral and red fruits aroma. Medium extract on palate, the sweet and acidic fruits melt perfectly with hint of spice and oak. Tannin very smooth with a slight dusty touch. A very nice village wine! (2901 views) | | | Tasted by jnewman77 on 3/25/2018: Lovely, but a bit too young currently; the nose is beautiful with floral notes, red berry fruits, and lots of minerality. The palate is quite a bit more austere and closed than I expected. Pretty tight and structured this definitely needs food and really needs some cellar time. I probably won't try again until 2022-2025. Very good potential. (3207 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |
| 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
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." |
