| Community Tasting Notes (average 91 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 12 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by railgunner on 12/18/2015 & rated 93 points: Very impressed. Much more masculine than I would have thought. Drank beautifully over a long lunch. Still could go a few more years but don't know it would improve. (2056 views) | | | Tasted by EirikM on 10/31/2015 & rated 90 points: Fairly dark fruit, spices and a bit of those autumn leaves. Quite silky, but on a solid frame. I think this could go on drinking well for quite some time. Decent weight and length, but nothing exceptional. (1905 views) | | | Tasted by Ajnate on 12/29/2013: So sorry this was my last bottle. Had more structure and vibrancy at this point than i expected, with lovely fruit, good acidity and enough backbone to remind you this was Burgundy. Proof yet again that '99 was a simply brilliant vintage, at least it was for me. Would love to find more by this Bertagna simply to compare. (2824 views) | | | Tasted by ianinvirginia on 8/3/2012 & rated 88 points: Good note by AJnate, but this bottle only held there for about 20 minutes before fading. (3777 views) | | | Tasted by Ajnate on 1/3/2011: still quite bright cherry nose with hints of flowers and spice. Fairly dense and lush on palate, with good acidity and noticeable backbone/structure. A bit deeper an more brooding overall than I would av expected, with dark fruit and smoke. (3692 views) | | | Tasted by Greg Pierce on 9/8/2009: Pretty dense red. Spice, red fruits, cinnamon, and vanilla on the nose. Light cranberry, red fruits, but with a big heavy dark fruit finish. My take on this wine is that it is a mix of a super big oaky California pinot from a ripe-ripe vintage, but filtered through an underripe Burgundy vintage. While not devoid of pleasurable character (certainly drank ok with the lamb chops) it fails on both sides of the pinot noir spectrum -- Cali-power and Burg-finesse. Neither here nor there. (2584 views) | | | Tasted by jonradus on 4/17/2009 & rated 97 points: This wine was fantastic. There is a subtle perfumy floral balance beneath a huge red fruit backbone. My god did the red fruits emerge...candy-like...carnivalistic...transcendent...over the hour that I had this in the decanter. I bought one of these for $60 and the other two for $40 on clearance from the Pgh area specialty liquor stores. If the bottle I drank is any indication of the other bottles vinted, this wine is easily worth at least $100. If you see this wine anywhere, buy it. I kid you not, this may is one of the best burgundies I have ever drank. It matches up well with the 96 Tollot-Beaut Corton Bressandes I drank a few years back. (2694 views) | | | Tasted by KeithAkers on 2/15/2009 & rated 93 points: real pungent tones of brown spices, black cherries, earth, perfumes, and lavender. Very succulent and aromatic all in balance. Tart acidity that brings upon tones of earth, brown spices, black cherry, and lavender. A very pretty wine that is just starting to enter its window with a earthen attack and a black cherry finish (1897 views) | | | Tasted by br on 12/11/2008 flawed bottle: corked (1505 views) | | | Tasted by J2K on 11/18/2008 & rated 81 points: Very light body, light tannins. Light sour cherry with a hint of spice but a little watered down. Leaves an empty aftertaste. Drink now. (1466 views) | | | Tasted by KeithAkers on 8/26/2008 & rated 92 points: 99 cote de nuits premier cru retrospective (michael, winnetka IL): nose: tight, but nuanced nose of sour cherries, asian spice, pine tones, smoke and some anisette
taste: beautifully silky with pretty tones of sour cherries, asian spice, pine tones, anisette, and black raspberries
overall: A very elegant wine with excellent acidity that binds the wine together. Silky and almost etheral with class to spare that gives off a polished sour cherry attack and anisette finish (2139 views) | | | Tasted by Mlermontov on 11/4/2004 & rated 94 points: this is burgundy? are you sure? no really... SO MUCH POWER... this is almoust black in the glass and the lushness of fruit just knocks one out. It is closer to a bordeaux in power i would say. Spicy touch brings it back to the origins and the red fruit come out from under their tannin covers. I think this may have been too young but we decanted it and with time in the glass it opened up extremely well. (2433 views) |
| Domaine Bertagna 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 Beaux MontsBeaux Monts covers a little over 11 hectares and is further subdivided into Beaux Monts, Les Hautes Beaux Monts, Les Beaux Monts Hauts, and Les Beaux Monts Bas. It borders the grand cru vineyard of Echézeaux, though at a higher altitude. Quality is variable with some wines described as "weedy" and they are typically less dense than wines from lower altitudes. Better examples may have a high-toned perfume. Top producers for Beaux Monts include Domaine Bertagna, Bruno Clavelier, Leroy, Hudelot-Noëllats, Louis Jadot, and Henri Jayer.

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.infoVosne-Romanée 1er CruVosne Romanée is one of the smallest wine villages in Burgundy The wines possess diverse characteristics, but they can generally 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.
