| Community Tasting Notes (average 92 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 17 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Rechrom on 1/18/2024 & rated 93 points: Drinking very well with good balance and excellent fruit. Time left but Wirth opening now. (396 views) | | | Tasted by EhrlichDY on 11/26/2022: Loads of dark fruit on the palate. Fairly open knit and giving. This was delicious. (756 views) | | | Tasted by The Guzz on 6/18/2022 & rated 93 points: Not at all what I expected. Lifted and soft floral sweet fruit. Pretty aromatics. Fine tannin, great length. No real austerity. Overall drinks great for young LSG. (867 views) | | | Tasted by up4wine on 8/3/2021 & rated 92 points: Impressed with the balance of this wine. It had nice complexity and curved gracefully as the wine aired. (1156 views) | | | Tasted by Rgentile on 6/20/2021 & rated 92 points: Into its peak window and should hold here for 3yrs easy, enjoy! (1050 views) | | | Tasted by The Guzz on 3/26/2021 & rated 93 points: Out of the gate very expressive heady perfume of spiced dark cherry and deep pitched earth. Floral/animal notes mixed in the palate with a very pretty lifted profile. Great flavor impact. This is not heavy or backward and for me ready to start drinking. (1147 views) | | | Tasted by Robert Pavlovich on 5/26/2019: Pnp, very attractive from the first pour, serious and brooding dark red fruit (cherries, raspberry) and classy spice. While not as fresh or herbal as the 13' Clos Vougeot served next to it, this had more than an acceptable level of acidity. Oak frames this well, with more than a suggestion but not getting in the way. Overall this LSG dazzled on entry and in to the mid palate, but couldn't run with the Clos Vougeot through the back and in to the finish. One of those experiences that makes one think, "a good 1er but not GC". (1729 views) | | | Tasted by Rgentile on 4/22/2019 & rated 93 points: No formal note. Great fruit, earth, some wood with nice tension all in balance. Wine was lovely and ready for consumption, enjoy! (1370 views) | | | Tasted by henryd1 on 10/14/2017 & rated 94 points: Lyon Tasting - Terre de Vins (Lyon Palais de la Bourse): This was a beauty. Quite light, supremely balanced. Best wine of the tasting for me. (2257 views) | | | Tasted by Collector1855 on 10/2/2017 & rated 93 points: Medium-light garnet. Delicate nose of red fruit with some toasty oak. Loveley freshness and soft tannins. This is very enjoyable to drink but I miss the extra complexity the Chevillon wines have from this vineyard. (2240 views) | | | Tasted by dcwino on 6/25/2017 & rated 92 points: Winos' excellent adventure in France; 6/22/2017-6/27/2017 (All over France): I had this from barrel so it is really interesting to drink. Decadent black fruit, blackberry, black cherry, lavender, sap and earth. Excellent concentration, beautifully layered generous black fruit, good acidity and earthy mineral and a long black fruit driven finish. Obviously very young but very enjoyable with generous black fruit. (3819 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 6/25/2017 & rated 90 points: MeV Gala. Drinking well already, attractive floral nose, surprisingly juicy fruit. (1761 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 6/22/2016: Musique & Vin Wine Tasting (Château du Clos de Vougeot): Floral and spice notes with black cherry and a hint+ of new oak that still needs to absorb. Dense fruit is the highlight here with structure that has softened substantially since last tasted 2+ years ago. Close to ready, 2020? (2445 views) | | | Tasted by aagrawal on 2/27/2016 & rated 87 points: VIP Burgundy Tasting (The Wine Club, San Francisco): Moderately aromatic nose with small red berries, pure; palate is light bodied, good density of black fruit, difficult to assess depth or complexity now; medium finish. 87 (1617 views) | | | Tasted by Jeremy Holmes on 8/16/2014: I can’t ever in my wildest dreams have thought a decade ago that I’d drink a Faiveley LSG on release and find it generous, fleshy and accessible but that is what happened last night. This 2012 LSG is ripe and fleshy and wrapped in well-seasoned, spicy oak. It has fresh cherry fruit notes and is really stony at its heart. The oak is abundant and gives the wine some cola notes and creamy texture. It is rich and dense with plenty of grunt and round sweet tannins. The wine is definitely of Grand Cru weight and power. (1889 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 2/7/2014: Wildman New Release Burgundy Tasting (Peninsula Hotel - Chicago IL): Tasting, brief note. A big contrast with the Damodes just tasted, this prototypical central Nuits St. Georges with dense, meaty black fruit and firm textures. Powerful but not weighty with very elegant structure. 92-93 point potential, this will require far more time than Damodes to reach its full potential. (2756 views) | | | Tasted by dcwino on 11/11/2013 & rated 92 points: After WWS, KEVIN & KELLY IN BURGUNDY – FAIVELEY, BOUZEREAU, MERME, REMOISSENET, DUJAC & COMTE LIGER-BELAIR; 11/11/2013-11/14/2013 (Burgundy): Lavender, blue fruits and rare steak. Excellent concentration and noticeable tannins. This is earthy and masculine and will need time for tannins to integrate. Very les saint geroges. (4402 views) |

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 Saint Georges 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
