| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.5 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 17 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by hprphf on 9/10/2023 & rated 93 points: Not as green as the other cuvées, the vintage even adds some freshness to the meaty and dark-fruited wine. Spicy, perfumed, bold, clean. 93 (496 views) | | | Tasted by spineguy on 5/18/2022 & rated 95 points: Pnp. Slightly sweet nose of red fruit with a hint of bret that blew off quickly. One of the most balanced, layered, integrated wines I have ever had. Perfectly ripe strawberries with a hint of sugar and cream. Distant touch of brambles. Feminine and classy. Seductive. The way the elements all showed, wow! Could not be drinking better then now. Perhaps this is what Mungier does best in a less then stellar vintage. Wish I had more! Not a big wine but enjoy it for what it is intended for. (727 views) | | | Tasted by kraisins on 10/14/2021: Not green (1025 views) | | | Tasted by Collector1855 on 11/14/2015 & rated 93 points: Tasted at a La Paulee Lunch. Medium garnet. Nose of red fruit, cloves, pine and forest floor. Enters the palate with good red fruit presence and dry extract at the finish. Medium-light bodied. Good length (3756 views) | | | Tasted by godx on 1/12/2014 flawed bottle: Burgundy Dinner (La Pentola): Tasted blind. Green notes (almost sewage like but not that putrid) with some subtle red fruits underneath. Mellow on the palate with little structure and a clipped finish. This must be a 2004. Mugnier Fuees…what a shame. (4380 views) | | | Tasted by LWI on 11/2/2013 & rated 87 points: Chambolle Night: Mint, green pepper, spices, structured and tannic, lacking in top fruit, edgy (4680 views) | | | Tasted by cct on 9/12/2012 & rated 88 points: A cooler profile with nice perfume and a soft, fine textured mouthfeel. Sweet, soft and velvet textured, with a delicacy juxtaposed against its depth. Stony fruit, mossy earth, lacy texture and some floral-perfuminess. Unfortunately, there are some green meanies poking their head out and they do detract, but overall still youthfully very enjoyable. (4493 views) | | | Tasted by jaimetown on 2/13/2012 & rated 90 points: A little bit of the greenies, but not too detracting. Powdered stone minerality, dark fruits, medium+ body - a nice drink today. (4556 views) | | | Tasted by cellarid on 6/19/2010 & rated 91 points: Excellent and one of the better 2004s. Quite rich. Impressive for sure. (3359 views) | | | Tasted by LWI on 1/8/2010 & rated 89 points: Lovely pinot smell. Fine structure and tannins. A touch of underbrush. (2591 views) | | | Tasted by lean88j on 8/29/2009 & rated 89 points: a disappointing bottle for me given the very good showing of mugnier's chambolle village bottles i had last year. this did not show much going on, maybe it is at an in between stage. was it rasberry or cherry or tomato flavors? it is fairly concentrated but just came across so one dimentional today of in my impression cherry/tomato juice concoction it did not seem exciting with the dinner of pad thai, tofu, char beef, etc. i had at Thai Basil. I have 2 bottles left. Probably hold onto it and see what it turns out next (2724 views) | | | Tasted by jaimetown on 5/20/2008 & rated 90 points: Opened and consumed out of bottle without decanting over the course of the evening - initially it shows the minerality the Les Fuées vineyard is known for (dusty, crushed rocks), with some underbrush framed by real pretty cherry aromas. Is there the "green note" of the 2004 vintage? Initially a bit, but it blows off. The wine fills out over the course of the evening, gaining weight and mid-palate density - it does lose some of the minerality but gains fruit in return. Ultimately a very poised bottle of wine which shows good Chambolle red fruit characteristics and enjoyable with roast chicken. (2466 views) | | | Tasted by The Klipper on 11/14/2007 & rated 92 points: Seattle Burgundy Group Tasting #2 Chambolle Musigny writ large (Cordon Selections): creamy dreamy 2005 aroma. good gravy it's tannic. more oomph but less bitter than Bonnes Mares. later it was too bitter. later still it was heavenly. (4254 views) | | | Tasted by Biglama on 10/22/2006 & rated 88 points: Rood van kleur, al wat ontwikkeld, mineralig al wat krachtiger dan de 2005 mooi rood fruit elegantie licht aanwezige tannines, mooi gedoseerd houtgebruik (2878 views) |

| Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier Producer websitePinot 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 Fuées On weinlagen-infoFrance Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

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.
