| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.3 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 32 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by xwine on 9/30/2023: In contrast to the dark fruited and somewhat clunky Marsannay Les Favières from the same producer, this is red fruited and has some elegance. I prefer this one. Very nice drinking. (263 views) | | | Tasted by GuanYu on 10/30/2022 & rated 91 points: Redcurrant, raspberry, autumn foliage. High acidity yet well-balanced due to bountiful red fruits. Wine had grip and long finish. (438 views) | | | Tasted by SchlaepDog on 3/7/2019 & rated 90 points: Huge barnyard nose upon opening. Wife says—eww, it smells like poopy. It blows off with time, otherwise the palette showed creamy sour red cherry, raspberry, pomegranate fruit with flecks of earth and dried herbs. Slightly dry tannins on the finish, but good stuff overall for low-level Burgundy. At peak, the wine will hold a few more years. (1495 views) | | | Tasted by Robert Pavlovich on 5/11/2018: Definitely has improved with about five additional years in bottle. Pleasant and somewhat charming, medium concentration and good acidity. Nice drinking though not very complex, should hold for a while, though best to drink over the next few years. (1945 views) | | | Tasted by nectar14 on 11/28/2017: Once again, very good. Lovely balance between dark and red pinot fruit, with whiffs of flint and humus. Tangy, sustained finish. Great value in Burgundy. (1836 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 10/1/2017: Still bright, fresh, clear and straight and in the cranberry bright strawberry realm of things. Prefect for an early autumn night. Will go longer. (2220 views) | | | Tasted by bevetroppo on 8/8/2017 & rated 89 points: A lieu-dit apparently. Good, inviting ruby color. Nose marred initially by some seeming VA that took about 10 minutes to blow off. I was looking at the proud "unfined and unfiltered" copy on the back label the whole time like it was a suspicious indication of a flaw in the making.
Not to worry. Once the acetate cleared it offered a delightful light cherry nose intermingled with spice and faint sous bois. Medium bodied at best right now, a little too tart to be supple, with leathery, minerally red berry fruit and a gently tannic finish.
This is certainly more light and elegant than brooding or serious. I'm a little conflicted over whether it should be more round or balanced given the quality of the vintage. I'm going to save some because it might actually be better tomorrow. With any shred of discipline I'll be back...
One day later: saved the 2nd half in the fridge and it's better a little cold, which mutes the faintly plastic edge I noticed yesterday and is most prominent on the finish. Puts on a little weight too. (2184 views) | | | Tasted by MemorialWineFan on 7/23/2017 & rated 89 points: Great nose when first opened. Decanted and drank over 5 hours. Nice, but think it will get better with a a few more years. (1417 views) | | | Tasted by WEB,III on 6/2/2017 & rated 91 points: Beautiful bottle. (1251 views) | | | Tasted by MemorialWineFan on 1/1/2017 & rated 89 points: Very good stuff here. It was a pop and pour for me, but with more air or cellar time this can improve 1-2 points. (1272 views) | | | Tasted by kdsipe on 11/25/2016 & rated 90 points: Very fruity with lots of cranberry and dark cherry, with hints of stems, orangepeal and spice. Medium bodied, with medium high acid, lots of mineral, moderate tannin and a soft finish. Good but not as good as the '09. Nice with thanksgiving dinner. (1276 views) | | | Tasted by nectar14 on 4/2/2016: Very nice burgundy and good value. Audoin has been good to me each time. Pleasant darker fruits, stone, and snappy acidity. I think this is starting to shut down a bit though. (1572 views) | | | Tasted by Ibetian on 2/7/2015 & rated 90 points: Each bottle of this wine seems to be better than the one before. P said "cherries" on first sniff. Bright red fruit on the nose and palate. Medium to light bodied, very food friendly. Very good value. (2346 views) | | | Tasted by essconsults on 11/22/2014 & rated 91 points: This has a really pretty, almost profound, red-fruity profile with a bit of both a Volnay violets, perfume, and Gevrey-earth type profile. As AM said, this might give some 1er crus a run for their money. This bottle seemed quite hot on the first and third night open-this is the fourth-and it's finally settled down. Very impressive, and much more serious than the other Marsannays I've tried. Will the Favieres be as good eventually? (2456 views) | | | Tasted by Ibetian on 10/23/2014 & rated 89 points: Decanted. The nose is the highlight of this wine, with red fruit, red licorice and little funk. Medium to light body, still a bit primary, not a lng but clean finish. Good burg for the price. (2297 views) | | | Tasted by Ibetian on 10/8/2014 & rated 89 points: Decanted just before dinner after a taste. Nice ruby color. Bright red fruit nose. Palate improved after an hour of air, cherries, raspberries and red licorice. P thought 92. Very nice basic Burg. (2284 views) | | | Tasted by Ibetian on 8/15/2014 & rated 88 points: It's tough to find good Burgundy under $30; this qualifies. Nice red fruit on nose and palate. Not especially complex today, but clean and satisfying. I suspect this still has some positive development ahead, but a satisfying mid weight to drink today. (2251 views) | | | Tasted by oropeza on 6/14/2014 & rated 88 points: Floral nose. Raspberry in the mouth, slight earthiness in the finish. Soft, 'feminine', round, good. (1973 views) | | | Tasted by Ibetian on 1/23/2014 & rated 89 points: Good basic Burgundy. Drinking fine now, but with clear upside. (2172 views) | | | Tasted by xwine on 11/13/2013: A very nice wine. Mix of red/black fruit, minerals; very firm palate with good balance, and seems "very 2010." After about an hour and a half, on the last few sips, it really started opening up with a lovely perfume. Excellent for its level, and a terrific value. (2364 views) | | | Tasted by nav2u on 11/9/2013 & rated 88 points: Very primary now, but a pleasure to drink, especially at this price point. (2237 views) | | | Tasted by Ibetian on 9/14/2013 & rated 91 points: No detailed note but showed well against much more expensive wines and good match with grilled tuna. (2261 views) | | | Tasted by Ibetian on 7/12/2013 & rated 90 points: Bright ruby. Nice nose of red fruit, a little pleasing funk, spice and a bit of new leather. Smooth and pleasing palate. Great QPR, especially for Burgundy. P. liked " a lot." (2229 views) | | | Tasted by BurgAndy on 4/17/2013: While young, this was quite striking. A wonderful raspberry and blackberry nose with hints of rock and earth. The palate is streamlined and focused, with flavors of tight dark fruit, tart plum, and stone. A touch of youthful austerity is certainly present. For such a gulpable wine, it has a layer of complexity to it that is intriguing and enjoyable. This will clearly get better with time, but it is fun to drink now. Some Marsannay can be too ripe and jammy -- this is certainly not the case with this wine. A great '10, especially for its level. (2458 views) | | | Tasted by chcook on 3/26/2013: PNP. Color garnet. Palate starts laced with minerality that softens after several hours flavors med weight and med length,much softer with sipping. Very nice for marsannay (2249 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |
| Pinot 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.Les LongeroiesThere is Bas des Longeroies and Dessus des Longeroies on weinlagen.info.

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
