Community Tasting Notes (average 91.5 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 90 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by lozatron on 3/5/2024: Jason & Simon's Village Burgundy Tasting Dinner (67 Pall Mall): This is one wine where I wonder if palate fatigue prevented it from being fairly evaluated. A little quieter than its flightmate, more restrained, but there's a lot going on here. I think of all the wines we tasted this is the one I'd like to try again - perhaps over a longer period and with larger pours... (752 views)
 Tasted by Vinumming & Ahhing on 3/4/2024 & rated 94 points: Village Burgundy from Good Producers (67 Pall M): Wow. This is might up my strasse. Perfectly balance meatiness, dark fruits, some subtle Vosne spice. Understated yet fabulous. Palate rich long cool fruited and charming. I'm smitten. My wine of the night. (686 views)
 Tasted by oenanthe on 3/4/2024 & rated 93 points: Jason's Village Burgundies II (67 Pall Mall): Notes on the wane by this stage as you would expect, but they say this was lifted, light, fresh and delicious. In the clear light of day I'd say this was a very seductive wine, sexy and really beautifully done, brimming with latent energy which for a village classification is really quite something. If someone would let me buy it at release I would! WOTN by a small margin, but definitely worth it. (604 views)
 Tasted by SimonG on 3/4/2024 & rated 93 points: Village Burgundy: Full ruby. Spice, dark red fruit, a touch of orange peel. Luxe. Density with elegance. Lots here. Serious villages. Harmonious and complete.**** (636 views)
 Tasted by dbkitc on 2/10/2024 & rated 92 points: This is just fabulous burgundy and superlative village Vosne. A bit more robust than most vintages of this wine while showing typical complexity. A feat. Has years to go. (92) (637 views)
 Tasted by lepetitchateau on 12/19/2023 & rated 91 points: No longer a beast. Sweet pretty, dark fruit on the attack, not fully evolved yet but has lovely balance and vibrant energy. Would benefit with more time, about another 5-10 years. (563 views)
 Tasted by WEB,III on 3/11/2023 & rated 91 points: $64.99/btl. Solid Village wine. Pricing now is insanity. (1237 views)
 Tasted by hajoha on 10/23/2022 flawed bottle: Korket. (1676 views)
 Tasted by billyloveswine on 7/4/2022 & rated 93 points: PnP'ed and consumed over 4 hours. Medium ruby with a garnet rim. Medium+ intensity perfume of fresh and dried raspberry, strawberry, and red plum, along with notes of red flowers, spices, and sous bois. Rich in complexity and elegant in texture, the palate also delivered an abundance of flavors surrounding the red-fruited core. Medium+ acidity and resolved tannins. The length left a little bit to be desired, though. No sign of fading till the end. Ready to drink, but can definitely hold for another 5-10 years. (1883 views)
 Tasted by Derrik on 4/9/2022 & rated 91 points: Nicely redfruited, with fine, oriental spices and good length. Shows warmth, ripeness, but also some elegance. Good village, very good maturity. So drink. 91-92 (2145 views)
 Tasted by hprphf on 3/10/2022: Zachy's La Paulee 2022 (Le Bernardin Prive): This was poured into a glass but I forgot to drink. Had a lot of great 09s today (Roumier Chambolle, Ruchottes, Mugnier NSG) and all of them had crazy perfumes. I would expect no less from GMG; a reminder for myself to drink this wine again! (2490 views)
 Tasted by hvoslef on 3/4/2022 & rated 93 points: 2009 Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg Vosne-Romanée. Rubinrød med tansperant kant. Drukket samtidig som Domaine Bizot. Mørkere profil på frukten; modne mørke kirsebær, plommer og asian spice. Elegant texture. Frisk syre og integrerte tanniner. Drikker helt nydelig nå, men ingen hast. Lang avslutning. Magisk village! 93p (1597 views)
 Tasted by PanosKakaviatos on 1/8/2022 & rated 94 points: Such delicate floral aromas, black cherry skin and spice with refined palate texture, impressive mid palate density, brightness on smooth finish, easily rivals premiers crus from other producers. Purchased at domain after release, prices have long since been scraping ever higher skies, as with other Burgundies. But this is truly lovely. 🙂 (2474 views)
 Tasted by hajoha on 9/14/2021 & rated 93 points: Mugneret-Gibourg Vosne-Romanee 2009.
Helt strålende nese med flott dybde.
Parfyme, krydder og frukt med herlig modning.
Ren fløyel - supersmooth lush deilig frukt.
Konsentrert med balansert friskhet.
Drikker helt fantastisk nå.
Lang nydelig finish med myke tanniner - dog ikke uten struktur.
For en Village! 93p (2103 views)
 Tasted by sevo on 9/4/2021: Drink this now! This wine is in a perfect window of drinking currently.
Beautiful garnet color. Upon opening, dark cherries and dark chocolate on the nose. Medium tannins remain. The mouthfeel is quite elegant and silky across the palate. (1584 views)
 Tasted by dbkitc on 7/9/2021 & rated 93 points: I’ve been very lucky to drink a number of vintages of this wine and I think this along with the 2010 might be my favorite. The color is a light cherry/ruby with a pink rim. The nose is glorious: red fruits, lavender and a sprinkling of spice. Sweet perfume. So classic. Medium bodied. Just entering peak perfection. Velvety, pure, complete. Simply outrageous Village. I can’t see it getting better but should be delicious for another 5 or so years. (93) (1893 views)
 Tasted by BenBlu on 7/3/2021 & rated 93 points: Imagine walking into a room of freshly cut flowers and then they are also producing fresh dark chocolate. Nice combination. This is a lovely pinot - so hedonistic - verging on over-ripeness / over-opulence but it just walks the line. Terrific stuff from the sisters and it just kept giving over 3 hours from pnp. But you need to be in the mood for ripe Pinot. If you want it cool and classic the 2012 is the one. PS: A small glass left for day 2 remarkably preserved superbly well and the wine showed almost unchanged - possibly even a bit finer - on day 2. So this should easily have another decade plus of peak drinking pleasure ahead. (2033 views)
 Tasted by SimonG on 2/18/2021 & rated 92 points: Half. Dark red fruit, some spice, and a densely silky to finely velvety texture. A little less sweet-fruited and more savoury than a half this time last year. Mid-week comfort! **** (2460 views)
 Tasted by KenK on 2/5/2021 & rated 92 points: Lovely pure fruit driven wine with smooth sensual velvety texture. Dark rich ripe blackberry aromas with good intensity and livily struture. No rush at all to drink up, but great pleasure now. For a village wine worth the tariff. (2173 views)
 Tasted by angryphoton on 1/20/2021 & rated 92 points: The solar characteristic of the vintage shows, but is well under control. Lucious ripe red fruit with a nice amount of spice is present. It is ripe yet not heavy as it contains a good amount of acidity and minerality, but some in the group thought this was Oregon. It is a very delicious wine, with a nice long finish and terrific balance. More red than black fruited and with a medium to full mouthfeel. (1757 views)
 Tasted by aagrawal on 1/20/2021 & rated 92 points: Zoom tasting with the wine group - Champagne and Red Burgundy (Zoom): Tasted blind. Light ruby, youthful color; aromatic, wild red berries, sweet spice; palate is light bodied, low tannin, medium-plus acidity, low alcohol, red fruited; finish is medium-plus length. This is everything I expect from red burgundy and, I would guess, a very good Chambolle. Maybe something like a Bertheau 1er? Still fairly youthful. 92+
On reveal: Really lovely, just a classic and balanced red burgundy. (2351 views)
 Tasted by Tony Ling on 11/6/2020 & rated 94 points: PNP into Zalto Burgundy glass (“Flower” day): Pale ruby to the eyes.

Very highly earthy and floral notes that resembles to me the sense I got from Canonica vintage 2016 tried earlier. Ripe red cherries. Some seaweed.

Super bright acidity, minerality, earthy and floral. Very long energetic finish.

Will clearly still benefits from longer term ageing in cellar for say another 5-10 years more. 93-94 points.

30 minutes upon opening: More cinnamon and cloves. (2161 views)
 Tasted by jchan1 on 10/10/2020 & rated 88 points: In line with overall 09 profile - fresh, ripe and with low acidity. Nothing extraordinary. (2029 views)
 Tasted by vulgar little monkey on 10/4/2020 & rated 92 points: We're on something of a Mugneret-Gibourg tear right now. Probably because the weather is turning more towards Autumn and, well, fuck it. This is the best bottle of the Vosne that I've had in as long as I can remember. It takes the generous fruit of the vintage and melds it into a beautiful package of silky berry and red currant fruit with a defined mineral spine that skates along the tannin. Lovely shape and a bit of Vosne spice (although, seemingly less than recent Chaignots, shrug). Air brings out floral elements and just a hint of cocoa powder earthiness on the palate. Every sip was beautiful. For me, entering a great drinking phase and I'd drink a ton of it if I had a ton of it. (2063 views)
 Tasted by Nicephoras on 8/9/2020: Out of magnum. A lovely wine, very typical of M-G house style - plus, round fruit with a touch of spice. I think the 2009 shows a touch too much extraction for me, especially with the more delicate Fourrier next to it. I think the 2009 1ers from M-G handle the extraction better (like the Chaignots).

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.

Burgundy

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

Vosne-Romanée

Vosne Romanée is one of the smallest wine villages in Burgundy. The wines possess diverse characteristics, but they can generally be considered to have complexity and longevity beyond nearly all other wines in the world. The village has six grand crus: Romanée-Conti, La Romanée, La Tâche, Richebourg, Romanée-Saint-Vivant, and La Grande Rue. While there is monopoly control of four of the six grand crus, the village has at least forty growers sharing its vineyards. The top premier cru includes Les Malconsorts, Cros Parantoux, Les Chaumes, and Clos des Réas.
