| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.8 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 24 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by vulgar little monkey on 3/28/2024 & rated 92 points: Very similar to my last bottle in 2019. Beautiful Chaignots nose which brings in some Vosne floral notes to compliment the rugged fruit and earthy notes although things are a bit less rugged. The ripeness has receded and the wine has become more subtle. There is still a fine core of structure but once that releases, this should be superb. Try again is 3 years or so. (427 views) | | | Tasted by aagrawal on 12/18/2023 & rated 93 points: Wine Dinner: Mugneret Gibourg Vertical (Zazie's, San Francisco): Aromatic, a bit smoky and spicy, some tobacco; palate is medium bodied, a bit richer than other vintages, black cherry; finish is medium length. Really lovely, but doesn’t hold up to the 2010. 92-93
Held up well, continued to flesh out and was interesting with more concentration and uniqueness on the nose. Loved it, 93. (1100 views) | | | Tasted by MJReb on 9/10/2023 & rated 93 points: Mainly red fruit (red currant), lots of spices (gloves, pepper), excellent wine at the beginning of its drinking window. (1037 views) | | | Tasted by MJReb on 1/27/2023 & rated 92 points: Red currant, cherries and a lot of spices (white pepper, gloves), I did not decant, but it needs definitely some air. Good density and length, still a fresh wine, in-line with the vintage, at the beginning of it’s drinking window. (1509 views) | | | Tasted by LW31 on 9/30/2022: Delicious. Still young but elegant pristine fruit. Definitely a little more nuits in this vintage butl perfect balance. Best in 3-5 yrs (1694 views) | | | Tasted by lepetitchateau on 3/18/2021 & rated 93 points: True to the tasting when this had just been bottled, this has lovely breed. It has quite a full nose with expressive fruit. The yields were small in 2012, and the wine shows good concentration, succulent and juicy fruit with a tasty zing to the finish. (3028 views) | | | Tasted by Collector1855 on 1/31/2020 & rated 93 points: Succulent fruit jumping from the nose with vanilla and oak. Red cherry, nice palate with good tannins that need a bit more time. Not the last word on complexity but very lovely. I would give this time till 2023 to further develop some tertiary notes. (4015 views) | | | Tasted by vulgar little monkey on 2/16/2019 & rated 92 points: Beautiful Chaignots nose which brings in some Vosne floral notes to compliment the rugged fruit and earthy notes. Hints of spices on the nose and the wood hasn't yet fully integrated. After having such a great bottle of 2012 Geantet recently, I thought what the hell. I'm also looking to drink more of my Burgundies sooner after great experiences last year. This will be even better in a few years when all of the elements integrate, but as it opened over dinner it was great on the night as well. It is definitely a ripe vintage, but not blowsy or overblown for me. (3518 views) | | | Tasted by Burgnick on 12/20/2017 & rated 88 points: Still very young. Nose and palate resemble each other with candied fruit and vr spice. The wine is a marriage between the NSG rusticity and VR elegance. For my palate, this is a bit modern and "candied". I hope it will develop more nuance and burgundian character with aging. This is still too young to access. (3411 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 7/14/2017 & rated 92 points: Chicago Wine Flock...Rich Tests Our Pinot Noir Chops (House of Nanda - Chicago IL): Tasted single blind. Ripe throughout with both red and black cherry. Slightly sweet with good+ concentration and finesse. Subtle spice to start, more emerged after two hours in glass, at which point the wine also seemed more weighty. Clearly needs more time in the cellar. (3454 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 7/14/2017 & rated 92 points: 2012 Blind Pinot Introspective Retrospective (Chicago, IL): Tasted single blind. Tighter nose with black cherry and herb are a bit nondescript. The palate is lovely with loads of red fruit, florals and tons of spice (which should have given away this vineyard, which is on the Vosne side of NSG). Upside from here. I guessed this to be the Jadot. Three votes for Oregon, 2 for GC, 2 for 1er Cru. My #8, Group's #4 (in a virtual tie with the de Montille). (4027 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 7/31/2016 & rated 88 points: Good table wine. (3262 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 2/28/2015: 2015 La Paulée Grand Tasting (Metropolitan Pavilion, New York): Slightly more weight and much more earth than the Vosne. Candied fruit upfront backed by penetrating acids. Superb balance and potential. (3105 views) | | | Tasted by JOsgood on 2/28/2015: La Paulée de New York - Grand Tasting (Metropolitan Pavilion): Excellent juice right here. Great weight and texture. Really nice balance. A serious 1er. (3502 views) | | | Tasted by alanr on 2/28/2015 & rated 90 points: 2014 La Paulee Grand Tasting (New York): Nice medium light strawberry/cherry, good acidity, on the delicate side. (4182 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 2/28/2015: La Paulée de New York Grand Tasting (Metropolitan Pavilion - New York NY): Tasting, brief note. Another NSG that comes across with considerable Vosne styling. Very good savory spice and firm, powerful finish that will benefit from time in the cellar. (4628 views) | | | Tasted by Robert Pavlovich on 2/28/2015: Earthy and rustic compared to the Grand Crus, but with the same suave and deftly balanced winemaking signature. Found this slightly closed overall, and would like to revisit. (3431 views) | | | Tasted by Seth Rosenberg on 2/28/2015 & rated 91 points: La Paulée de New York Grand Tasting (Metropolitan Pavilion - New York NY): Darker than the Vosne Village with blackberry, dark cherry, earthy, spicy - dark fruit. Nose - 4.5+/6, Palate - 5/6, Finish - 5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1/2 = 15.5+/20. (4677 views) | | | Tasted by Sundbyberg on 1/21/2015 & rated 93 points: Lush and very good indeed. 92-93 pts. (2539 views) | | | Tasted by William Kelley on 1/9/2015 & rated 94 points: The 2012 Mugneret Gibourg Les Chaignots is absolutely impeccable, bursting from the glass in a vivid blaze of wild berries, Vosne-like spices, a creamy framing of new oak and some hints of incipient sous bois. On the palate, vivid acids are married with amazing depth of fruit, and a svelte but deep structure that right now is more Vosne than Nuits. A fabulous rendition of one of my favorite wines. (3792 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 7/2/2013: Day Two in Burgundy: Ponsot, JJ Confuron, Vogue, Mugneret-Gibourg (Cote d'Or): Barrel tasting at domaine. Slightly reductive start. Both red and black fruit on nose and palate with a Vosne spice character. Slight firm in middle, savory spice re-emerging on finish. Very good throughout. (4744 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.France 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
