| Community Tasting Notes (average 92 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 35 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by LW31 on 1/4/2024: Lovely melange of red fruits, quite precise but with the power of the vintage adding a dash of hedonism. A true Chambolle in the Barthod style. Entering its peak window with some air (deepened appreciably over 30 mins in glass). (446 views) | | | Tasted by La Grappe on 9/28/2023 & rated 93 points: A dark colour and a very full and concentrated palate of dark fruit, intense and long. Excellent now, full and meaty, and starting to develop more complex and savoury notes. Should continue to do so over the next 5+ years. (484 views) | | | Tasted by La Grappe on 9/5/2022 & rated 91 points: Medium red colour; quite full and dense on the palate, with redcurrant fruit and some residual tannin holding it back. Fine, elegant and poised. Good to drink now, but probably best left for 2+ years to develop further. (1614 views) | | | Tasted by La Grappe on 5/8/2022 & rated 92 points: My first of this vintage, drunk over two evenings 48 hours apart, and there was quite a contrast as the wine developed considerably in the interim.
On the first evening, it had a red/garnet colour, and the fruit was redcurrant, raspberry and a hint of blueberry. There were some more developed savoury elements and there was also some tannin holding it back. Perhaps 91/100.
By the second evening it had opened out considerably. The colour seemed darker, as did the fruit, and the wine was quite meaty and long. Definitely a step up. Upgrade to 92/100.
Overall, this suggests that the wine is good now but will improve with more time. (1460 views) | | | Tasted by Mario17 on 4/23/2022 & rated 93 points: Terreux, fruits noirs et bleus, du poivre, une bouche magnifique, assez puissante et allant avec le style de la maison, intense et émergiqie mais avec une belle finesse, bel équilibre et une belle finale persistante. 93-94
Slightly earthy, dark and blue fruit, spices and pepper, fairly powerful palate, intense yet precise flavours, energy and yet finesse, nicely balanced with a long persistent and gorgeous finish. (1777 views) | | | Tasted by robferguson1 on 2/8/2022 & rated 93 points: Lovely lifted fruit . (1627 views) | | | Tasted by jnewman77 on 1/11/2022: This is excellent stuff; the nose took about 15 minutes before it really took off, but it was stellar from there. Classic Chambolle with beautiful red fruits, floral notes, minerality, a hint of spice. Not much in the way of secondary development really. The balance is perfect, ripe, but not even close to overripe, concentrated and intense with a long finish. Great 1er cru wine with upside. (1623 views) | | | Tasted by MJReb on 11/7/2021 & rated 93 points: Chez Said: Beautiful dark Pinot fruit, soil and minerality. The tannins are well integrated, good structure and tension, pretty masculine Chambolle approach as often with Barthod wines. A perfect bottle.
Drank it alongside a Gouges Porrets 2009 which has been much more advanced and started to decline. (1243 views) | | | Tasted by MJReb on 6/3/2021 & rated 92 points: Wonderful nose of soil and dark Pinot fruit, on the palate a fully ripe wine with round tannins, but keeping the structure and not being dull, again soil and dark cherry fruit, mouth coating, much different compared to the Barthod „Coteaux“ wines (Veroilles, Cras, Fuées). A wine which is straight at the point and fully accessible. (1335 views) | | | Tasted by braised on 12/31/2020 & rated 91 points: Ripe and elegant, though not the most complex. Chambolle perfume of earth and blue fruits for the front of the wine, with a medium body and finish. I'm not sure what more age will do for this one, but all of the primary flavor players are present at this time. (1327 views) | | | Tasted by MJReb on 12/1/2020 & rated 92 points: Used my Zalto Burgundy glass: the nose is terrific: black cherries and soil; on the palate dark fruit of black cherries and some dark berries, well balanced for this hot year. Ghislaine started to harvest as the first of the top notch producers to keep a certain freshness. Really good! (1365 views) | | | Tasted by vulgar little monkey on 10/2/2020 & rated 93 points: The nose jumps out with brambly, earthy, dark fruit. The palate follows that lead with sap and richness and while this is the naturally more fruited Beaux Bruns it is still Barthod thus a bit of air brings shape. There is a nice rocky, soil tone underneath and a leathery savory edge I associate with Barthod wines this vineyard. I'm really happy with how this is showing now and I expect it will continue to improve in this partially resolved and still fruit-filled rendition for several years. This is a really nice spot for me where the structure has opened enough to let you in but before the fruit has started to become tertiary. (1628 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 8/29/2020: Deep fruit. Floral with intense black cherry on the nose. As before, big for a Chambolle, but hardly burly. Wonderful depth of the ripe, dark red fruit swirling around an earth-filled base, and enough acidity to keep it from feeling heavy or dull. Round tannins that you don't really feel. Delicious, hedonistic, New World-leaning Chambolle. It really hit the spot tonight with an Asian-inflected duck dish and has the stuffing to go on for quite some time.
Just as good the next night. (1837 views) | | | Tasted by rikipedia on 6/3/2019 & rated 90 points: Terroir-istes International - France, Burgundy, Chambolle Musigny (Bishopscourt): (Tasted Blind): A light to mid-crimson. The nose shows clear signs of evolution with savoury notes of undergrowth dominating. Hints of tar and darker fruits. The wine shakes off some of the evolution with a burst of black cherries, rhubarb and raspberry. Tilled soil and marmite complement rather than distract, and the wine reveals plenty of complexity. Fairly full-bodied and extracted, a lively acidity pushes the wine forward. Concentrated with sinewy and grainy tannins, the alcohol slightly overshadows the balance whilst the medium to long finish leans more savoury, despite a touch of cherry paste and spice, towards boiled vegetables, carrion, stewed fruits and cooked rice. Still has some depth and, apart from its quirks, is intriguing, if nothing else! (281 views) | | | Tasted by Sonoma Duck on 4/20/2019 & rated 92 points: Quite a lovely drink. With friends who are used to Sonoma County Pinot Noir and it was definitely a step above. Medium ruby, rich nose, elegant finish that lasted a long time. Will probably keep but very nice right now. (1662 views) | | | Tasted by Rusty1488 on 8/10/2018: Needs more time. Cherry and earth throughout. Some tea notes on the finish. Well balanced but definitely could use a few more years. (1922 views) | | | Tasted by MJReb on 5/25/2018 & rated 92 points: Red cherry fruit, some warm earthy notes, quite dense, despite of its origin, the warm year shines through. (1937 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 12/9/2017: Still deep ruby throughout. An aromatic blast of ripe black cherries without much in the way of secondary perfume. Medium weight and sappy. Tremendous, deep cherry and pomegranate fruit, bitter chocolate, and a fine base of clay that lingers into the long finish. What this lacks right now is the acid to give that inimitable Chambolle interplay of fruit and tartness. Make no mistake--this is a big wine for the commune and the producer, and will not satisfy those primarily seeking finesse. That said, one would have to be a complete and utter scrooge to deny the hedonistic pleasure the great fruit provides. If I had any more, I'd have no qualms about holding for another 5 years and seeing what happens, but as long as you are not offended by relatively primary Burgundy that still has its baby fat, there is no reason to delay gratification. (2660 views) | | | Tasted by sehill on 12/2/2017 & rated 94 points: Opened and poured, this wine gave an excellent to outstanding showing. The bouquet begins with red fruits and spice elements that combine with some maturing earthy tones. The color is a tarnished medium ruby. The refined, medium bodied palate shows balance and length with subtle tannin and youthful fruit that combine with some maturing elements. (2476 views) | | | Tasted by B Paul on 7/30/2017: Popped and followed over 3 hours or so. Pretty nose with lots of red fruit and some earthy funkiness. Medium bodied. Seems likes it's in a good spot right now. (2160 views) | | | Tasted by Mazy on 4/15/2017 & rated 93 points: Excellent et à point! Encore assez de fruit (cerises) mais on a aussi des notes tertiaires de mousse et de sous-bois. Vraiment exceptionnel. (1980 views) | | | Tasted by strickt01 on 12/2/2016 & rated 94 points: Poured and left to breathe in a burgundy glass for two hours. Whilst I waited I polished off a bottle of Dry River Pinot Noir 2008 that I had opened a couple of nights earlier; thus attempting an informal, unscientific, possibly unrepresentative comparison of new and old world pinots. Initially reticent on the nose, the Barthod went through a period of 90 minutes when it almost smelt like a gamay, with that scent of bananas that I've never been a fan of. The polished, silky, rich flavours of the Dry River were accompanied by a fine aroma of mulberries and plums which at that stage put the Chambolle to shame. But once the first sip of the burgundy touched my lips the comparison ended as a competition.
As mentioned by other tasters, and unsurprisingly given the vintage and vineyard, this is a relatively forward, fruit-laden Chambolle, yet there is no sense of heaviness whatsoever thanks to some brisk acidity. The tannins, velvety at first, recede to silkiness over the course of the evening. Yet where this bottle, and great burgundy in general, sets itself apart from so many other pinots is in the constantly shifting form of its myriad flavours. Each glass presented a different facet. Starting with the classic red fruits of Chambolle, whilst it accompanied the fish we ate it took on a saline quality that made it taste rather like I imagine a red chablis would(!). A new flavour profile on me but an utterly beguiling one nonetheless. Finally it morphed again into a magnificent mature burgundy, with some darker fruits set off by sous bois and a briary complexity. A magical bottle. (2390 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 11/2/2016: Chambolle Musigny Night (San Francisco): Medium ruby, more saturated than any of the village wines tonight. Rich, brambly cherry fruit that stops short of exoticism. At the high end of Chambolle richness, but so delicious in its raspy red fruit and a bit of green. At the early end of maturity with the stuffing and balance to last a good 6-8 more years. Not the laciest Chambolle, but still superb and drinking beautifully now. (2151 views) | | | Tasted by Sixchips600 on 9/6/2016 & rated 92 points: My last bottle must have been flawed with its stewed/muddled fruit character. This was much more like I had expected with elegant red fruits, medium body and a nice finish. (1927 views) | | | Tasted by Sixchips600 on 7/2/2016 & rated 91 points: I had this same wine in Beaune a couple years ago and this did not hold up to the great showing from then. This showed muddled stewed fruit and very rich black cherry. Hinting at development of mushroom. Wave of acidity on the palate which hits at the end and is not in balance. The bottle in Beaune had a mesmerizing nose and fresher acidity. Maybe better in a few years. (1799 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.Aux Beaux Bruns Details 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
Côte de Nuits on weinlagen.infoChambolle-Musigny 1er CruChambolle-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 fragrent bouquets. The critic Robert M. Parker Jr. quotes French poet Gaston Roupnel as likening the region's wines to "silk and lace."
----
Di Giancarlo marino: comunque. Les Noirottes è un cru situato quasi al centro di Chambolle, subito ad est di Bonnes Mares, ed è confinante tra gli altri con i 1er cru Les Baudes (segnalo quello di H. Lignier), Les Sentieres (segnalo quello di R. Groffier), e aux Beaux Bruns (molto citato dalla stampa quello di D. Mortet, io preferisco quello di Ghislaine Barthod). Pur essendo ben situato, questo 1er cru non mi risulta aver mai dato vini di particolare pregio. Per chi ama e cerca lo "spirito" vero di Chambolle, oltre allo scontato Les Amoureuses (notevoli quelli di De Vogue, Roumier, Groffier, Amiot-Servelle...) ed a quelli già citati, consiglio Les Cras di G. Roumier e Ghislaine Barthod, Derrier la Grange di Amiot-Servelle, Haut Doix di Groffier. Volendo scegliere tra i Village, sono tutti buoni quelli di Groffier, Ghislaine Barthod e Roumier, produttori che eccellono regolarmente anche nelle denominazioni minori. Volendo parlare di Chambolle, occorrerà prima o poi dire qualcosa anche dei grand cru: la mia passione per i Bonnes Mares è nota ai miei amichetti sciagattati.
