| Community Tasting Notes (average 91 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 31 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Paul D on 4/20/2019 & rated 89 points: 12/12. Cork 70% evenly soaked.
Pale/medium garnet core, wide pale garnet rim.
Attractive nose - red fruits, touch of florals, also soil, dung. Medium bodied, nice contrast of pure red fruit and savoury meatiness, fresh acids, soft tannins, quite mellow now, goodish length, harmonious finish. Quite evolved - probably for drinking over next 5 or so years. (1629 views) | | | Tasted by Paul D on 6/8/2014 & rated 90 points: Cork 75%, evenly soaked. Medium garnet core, pale garnet rim. Now quite developed nose, earthy, sous-bois, mineral, game, underlying sweet red fruit. Medium bodied, spicy, very gamey, some slightly prickly tannins at first, but seem to soften and round with time in glass. Good length finish with sweet, evolved fruit and game. Notably more evolved and slightly broader and richer than previously. Fully mature. (4166 views) | | | Tasted by PugetSoundGirl on 12/31/2013 flawed bottle: Agree with other tasting notes - badly soaked cork, disappointing taste. This was a light, but very earthy burgundy. After decanting, straining had a somewhat flat finish, tannin and light on the fruit. Not sure if it was past it's prime or defective? (4047 views) | | | Tasted by Paul D on 12/15/2013 flawed bottle: Badly soaked cork - leaking on one side. Weak, diffuse nose, showing sweatiness with time in glass. Palate is hollow and short. Something not quite right here. (4103 views) | | | Tasted by DougLee on 4/27/2013 & rated 92 points: Brought to RN74 where popped and poured. Medium ruby color. Nose opened over about 30 minutes to show nostril-filling scents of cherry blossom, raspberry, earth, schist. A bit hard-edged on the palate at first but filling out and softening through the evening to show tart cherry, briars, anise, leather, and an underpinning of iron. Moderate acidity balancing softened but still evident tannins. Long finish with waves of mineral and somewhat crunchy red fruit. Firmer and more serious than the 2000 Barthod C-M Baudes sampled recently, this wine showed its specific vineyard character very well. (4417 views) | | | Tasted by Paul D on 6/26/2012: Burgundy WIMPS (The Ledbury, Notting Hill, London): Pure, red fruited nose, hints of vanilla, mineral and floral notes. Medium bodied, this bottle a touch firm and closed, but opening up a little with time on glass to show strawberries, cream and minerals on the good length, firm finish. VGI. (4374 views) | | | Tasted by Rupert on 5/14/2012: A burgundy lunch (La Trompette, Chiswick, London): Bright, cherry fruit, structured, a bit of funk, a lot of grip, but deep, pure and very fine (2464 views) | | | Tasted by Paul D on 3/9/2012 & rated 91 points: No formal note. Good cork - minimal soaking, nice pure, clean red and black cherry fruit, notes of game, lovely acidity, fine tannins. (1731 views) | | | Tasted by sindbad on 2/27/2012 & rated 94 points: 28-50 Barthod offline, London. For a supposedly weaker vintage, this was a surprise. Light on its feet with a delicious fruit-festooned and tingly spine of acid. Of the entire lineup, this is the one that shouted out: fruit! Sexy strawberries held up by a faint undercurrent of developing forest-floor notes. Just lovely. My WOTN. (1798 views) | | | Tasted by Rupert on 2/23/2012 & rated 93 points: Barthod Chambolle dinner (28-50, London EC4): A revelation: bright, sharp, black-fruited, with a bit of funk, lifted but the acidity. Glorious (1975 views) | | | Tasted by SimonG on 9/30/2011: Burgundy WIMPS 2011 Beaumarchais table (The Ledbury, London): A little lighter, more focus here. Red fruited. Good minerality. elegance. Doesn't give itself away too easily - some work required here but the effort is rewarded amply. This is very pretty indeed. It's really developed well over the past three years. ****1/2 (1986 views) | | | Tasted by Paul D on 5/25/2011 & rated 93 points: Cork soaked through. Medium ruby/garnet core, medium pale garnet rim. Lovely Chambolle nose, still quite youthful with pure strawberry fruit, quite intense with notes of undergrowth and mulch and a distinct mineral edge. On the palate this is medium bodied and very focussed with pure strawberry fruit, a slight sous-bois edge, fresh acidity and real drive and length on the long strawberry and cream infused finish. Absolutely delicious now, but with plenty of time in hand. (1785 views) | | | Tasted by Paul D on 4/10/2011 & rated 92 points: Medium ruby/garnet core, medium pale garnet rim. Nose is quite youthful and shows red and a touch of black cherry fruit, vanilla, florals and just a touch of game. On the palate this is medium bodied with fine tannins, pure cherry fruit, strawberry too, just a touch of gaminess on the mid-palate. This is pure and focussed, with decent depth and a good length, fresh finish. Lovely and no hurry - indeed probably has some improvement potential. (1739 views) | | | Tasted by Paul D on 7/21/2010: Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Lunch (The Ledbury, Notting Hill, London): Again very youthful on the nose, slightly reminiscent of the 00 Beaux Bruns in fact with slightly darker cherry fruit, plums, vanilla and the same slight espresso edge. Deep red and black cherry fruit on the palate, quite minerally, with some attractive savoury notes just starting to peek through. Still youthful certainly with decent grip but real depth and bounce and a very long finish. Really lovely, will surely improve. ****(1/2). (2486 views) | | | Tasted by Alex H on 11/22/2009 & rated 82 points: La Paulee Luncheon; 11/19/2009-11/23/2009 (Osvaldos): Bomb of chinese medicine and dry bark. Very distinct notes with exotic smelling nose. Very barky and mostly dried fruits. More gevrey than chambolle I would think. (2867 views) | | | Tasted by Paul S on 11/21/2009 & rated 91 points: Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin Singapore, La Paulee (Osvaldo Ristorante Italiano, Maxwell Chambers): From Magnum. I thought this was really nice. Sex-bomb nose. Red cherries galore, lovely flowers, exotic herbs and sandlewood and a little earth. Palate was not too far behind. pure red fruits, some haw flakes, Chinese herbs and a little woody note, all in a clean, lifted package. Mid-weight, but with plenty of concentration and a lovely sense of balance to it. Lovely finish too, with lots of red fruits and more haw flakes. A charming wine. (3056 views) | | | Tasted by SimonG on 7/4/2008: Full, deep colour. Some spice on the nose, but quite reticent, seems closed. Good fruit, spicy,intense, but again quite linear and tight. Not giving much. Slightly plummy raspberry fruit witha touch of physilis and licorish. Opens up a little after three or so hours, but needless to say as it's almost finished. Could have done with opening several hours in advance and probably decanting. Lots of potential, but needs a bit of coaxing at the moment. A 'hand-picked' bottle - shame I didn't buy a second one to try in three or four years! Very good for a 2000. At the moment *** but scope for **** when it opens up. (2187 views) | | | Tasted by Paul D on 12/5/2007 & rated 91 points: A&B Vintners - Burgundy Tasting (Colin-Morey, Barthod and Mortet) (Trinity House, Trinity Square, London EC3): Much more pungent and intesne on the nose. Complex with raspberry fruit, minerals, creaminess, breadth and density across the mid-palate, very good length balanced finish. An excellent 2000. (3360 views) | | | Tasted by joe d on 2/13/2007 & rated 90 points: Barthod's 2000s are excellent. This one had dark fruit, midweight on the palate, and lots of structure to the finish. Very Good.
My discrete CT scale: 95-extraordinary; 90-very good; 85-good; 80-fair; 75-poor (2645 views) | | | Tasted by joe d on 1/7/2007 & rated 90 points: Another excellent Barthod 2000. This is very structured for a 2000. Some tannins initially, then nice dark Chambolle fruit and an excellent finish. This and the Fuees 2000 were both superb.
My discrete CT scale: 95-extraordinary; 90-very good; 85-good; 80-fair; 75-poor (2679 views) | | | Tasted by 60ouvrees on 9/24/2006: Nose is pure and pretty but still very young. Not unenjoyable but still shows quite monolithic on the palate. Give this a few more years and it will be delicious I think. (2796 views) | | | Tasted by PSide on 1/15/2002: Bibendum Cask Tasting
Vigorous colour. Closed nose, but still deep minty and intense leather and blackcurrant. Mouthfilling rich black fruit and coffee. Magnificent finish. 8/10 (3241 views) | | | Tasted by HandPickedBurgundy on 1/1/2002: Vigorous colour. Closed nose, but still deep minty and intense leather and blackcurrant.

| 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 Cras Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras Premier Cru

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
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.
