Community Tasting Notes (average 91.3 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 18 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by N.Bonaparte on 1/27/2024 & rated 90 points: About 2 years since my last bottle. This is over the hill. Possibly some TCA as this was lacking in fruit but was otherwise alive. My last bottle was very good and my note said drink up so it’s hard to tell what went wrong here. Either way, these should be consumed as these are beginning their decline. (405 views)
 Tasted by N.Bonaparte on 2/11/2022 & rated 92 points: Definitely a better bottle then my last one in 2019 that tasted well past prime. This bottle was vibrant and well balanced. Lacking in complexity but pleasant. Paired well with wild Alaskan King salmon. This is in its prime and should be consumed in the near term. Revisit 2023 (1174 views)
 Tasted by fcxj on 12/17/2021 & rated 90 points: Nice freshness, sweetness and intensity. I don't rate Rouget, but this performed well. (1446 views)
 Tasted by yuti1225 on 8/6/2020 & rated 93 points: Very charming, round and seductive. Pure cherry with woody spice. Tannins are all resolved into velvet-like backbone. Very light-footed mouthfeel. This is so beautiful now and should keep for pretty long time. (1983 views)
 Tasted by N.Bonaparte on 11/28/2019 & rated 91 points: 2 hour decant- everything is there except concentration. Perfect cork and unlikely an off bottle. Likely just village level wine. Probably past prime but will provide pleasure for a few more years. I’ll drink my last two within a year. (2174 views)
 Tasted by Bourgognefreak on 3/12/2019 & rated 93 points: Powerful and excellent wine for this level. Tons of fruit built on a robust skeleton of balanced body of medium weight with high intensity. (2515 views)
 Tasted by UTPK on 7/4/2018: Mature nose of roses, black cherries and violets. Quite fullbodied to be a village but retains the elegance of VR. Very long finish carried by the great acidity. No heat from the vintage. This is just very good winemaking in a warm year! (2433 views)
 Tasted by Tim2 on 6/22/2018 & rated 93 points: Strong. Versatile: good with steak au poivre with brandied cream sauce with okra and later blue cheese. (2279 views)
 Tasted by Matt T on 5/16/2018 & rated 91 points: The vintage was really apparent here. Extremely well-made with integrated acid, alcohol, and tannins. This showed ripe red fruits that were just on the edge of candied. Just enough minerals and herbs to distinguish this as Burgundy, but my first guess would have been New World. (1983 views)
 Tasted by UTPK on 6/12/2016: Very aromatic nose, almost Liger Belair notes of vosne spices, but also strawberries and Rayas funk. However completely clean and no heaviness at all. On the The nose is 100% open after 2 hours decanting. Sweet attack and on the mid-palate it has medium weight, inner sweetness, very very succulent, again almost saline and bitter notes to balance the sweetness. Incredibly long to be a village. I had it blind and guessed 2007 Echezeaux (!) (3165 views)
 Tasted by Tim2 on 1/22/2016 & rated 93 points: It's really more than a 93, but we'll leave at that since it's a village. Drinking wonderfully right now. A great example of what this Domaine achieves at its best. Pure, without fault. Delicious with strip steak. (3070 views)
 Tasted by markellen.foodies@gmail.com on 1/7/2013 & rated 85 points: Disappointing. john Hilliard picked it off the list at The Dutch @$290!
Nothing memorable. (4435 views)
 Tasted by Barry Rothof on 12/8/2012 & rated 91 points: Light purple red ruby color. Smells of red fruit, dried earth and sweet spices. On the palate first light, elegant red Fruit. On the midpalate more depth, sweet raspberries, cherries, liquorice flavours, juicy acidity and soft polished tannins. Solid long finish with delicious Vosne spices and dark fruit. Everything was in the right place with this wine. Wonderful stuff ! (4421 views)
 Tasted by peternelson on 11/19/2012 & rated 91 points: With truffle menu at Simon in Flagey. No notes. (4215 views)
 Tasted by UTPK on 8/22/2012: Had the Vosne Romanee 2009 and the Nuit St Georges 2009 side by side. What a difference! The Nuit was lighter and lazerlike in its fruit. Very transparant and fresh, almost glass like in its focus and lightness. The Vosne was much deeper and fuller, but still very elegant and completely clean. Great separation of smells, raspberry and cherries on one side and spices, cinnamon and star anis on the other. Very spicy and fresh in the mouth with great maturity but not a sign of heat! The Vosnee just shows so much more terroir than the Nuit, and is clearly the best wine. (3661 views)
 Tasted by Burgundy Al on 9/10/2010: Cellar Tasting with Emmanuel Rouget (Vosne-Romanee): Barrel tasting at Domaine. Strawberry and raspberry with great floral charm and spice aromas, albeit some from oak today. Great fruit and spice on the palate as well. Powerful but elegant. From 5 parcels in Vosne, helping give this wine great nuance and complexity already. (4063 views)

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.
