| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.7 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 11 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by NTP718 on 1/2/2024 & rated 93 points: Starting to show some sauerkraut. But very good (703 views) | | | Tasted by jnewman77 on 11/29/2023: This was singing and damn delicious; very much Chambolle with juicy red fruits that explode and with air develop some orange peel and lovely floral notes; more time reveals crushed stone, and just a hint of spice. The palate has very nice intensity with lovely acidity; very ripe fruit, but still with good freshness and a saline hint that comes in towards the end. Good value stuff that has a decade plus of enjoyment ahead. A blend of Noirots, Hauts Doix, Borniques, Plantes, Combottes per the Drouhin website. (852 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Bill on 8/20/2023 & rated 94 points: This wine is the essence of Chambolle. It could be nothing else…
Super floral with alpine blueberries and ocean spray cranberry on the nose.
Palate is so fresh. Light, high toned and punchy red fruit. Layers of berries and pure floral tones. This wine is complex but not savory. It is lacey and detailed on the palate - damn it’s pretty. (1084 views) | | | Tasted by Ash in Hermosa on 5/17/2023 & rated 96 points: 2023, no decant, 20 min in-bottle breathe. Well balanced. Accompanied by a slow roasted pork dish. Beautiful pairing. (1087 views) | | | Tasted by csimm on 5/7/2023: A juicy delivery with ripe and saturated red raspberry and cherry notes, with a dusting of earth and meaty flavors. A bit of heat on the back end but with a savory helping of fruit to fully encircle the palate. The succulent fruit here is compelling, with a decent amount of captivating heft behind it, even if the focus is a slight miss in the precision department. A bit blocky with the tannins darting in and out of the delivery, but a wine that’s hard to be mad at. Enjoyable for sure. Don’t overthink it, but for those looking for a more delicate profile, best look elsewhere. If you’re not scared of a little booyah in your beverage, you won’t be displeased with this little party pleaser. This is a Drouhin made for watching Monday night football, not curling… or darts…
Update: Over the course of about four hours, this really shed its wood and alcohol elements that were otherwise potentially distracting from its proper execution. It became a more profound and deeper wine. Much better on final sips than the first few hours upon opening. (2767 views) | | | Tasted by Pinot_Geek on 1/17/2023: Savory dark fruit up front with a sharpish bite following soon after. Low acid, low-med tannin and somehow just disjointed and off. 13% Alc.
I am a big fan of Drouhin in general and this 1er blend in particular, but 16' was a really tough year for Chambolle and it shows here I think. (1231 views) | | | Tasted by Nicephoras on 10/12/2020: True to house style, this is on the roper side, and with the power of 16, this is not reticent. There’s dark red fruit on the nose, with almost a touch of heat (which fades as the bottle was chilled properly). The palate is also quite rich. There’s definitely a Chambolle quality to the wine - rather than earthy, or spicy the fruit here, despite being lush, is quite pure, if a touch simple. Air, unfortunately did not help - by the third hour, this was a bit of an oak bomb. I think the oak will integrate in time, but I do wish there was a bit less of it and the wine was more delicate. What works for Amoureuses (which is great) doesn’t quite work here imho. (2507 views) | | | Tasted by The Guzz on 4/8/2020 & rated 90 points: 2nd bottle in a few months. This one not as good. Possibly a touch flawed or closing down. The first bottle was so open, sweet cherry, supple, beautifully complex bright cherry spice. This one just muted. Similar fruit undertones, but austere. With time improved a bit but still not the same wine. Purchased from a different retailer. (2102 views) | | | Tasted by csimm on 4/5/2020 & rated 94 points: Black cherry, red and black raspberry, ripe strawberry, earth, faint citrus rind, and spice. Round and a bit plump mid-palate, making for an accessible delivery of flavor. Medium drive and verve. Still has a good spine as it makes its way to the back end.
Offers satisfaction now, with promise to improve with some short term cellaring. Try again in 2023. 92-94+ points. (4232 views) | | | Tasted by dcwino on 6/11/2019 & rated 91 points: Five winos excellent adventure , mostly in Burgundy; 6/7/2019-6/15/2019 (Beaune, France): Medium expressive nose displaying sweet red fruit, raspberry jelly, strawberry, rose, sweet spices and crushed rocks. Very good concentration, nicely layered sweet red fruit, silky, good acidity and mineral, fine tannins and a medium to long sweet red fruit driven finish. Slightly lacking finesse but delicious.

| Joseph Drouhin Producer Website
Joseph Drouhin always had a passion for wine, and in 1880 in Burgundy, he founded the independent company that still bears his name. Today, his great grandchildren, Philippe, Véronique, Laurent and Frédéric, run the family-owned company from their ancestors house. Each has their own personality, but together, they share a common passion for the vine and the wine. Day after day, they strive for harmony, the hallmark of Joseph Drouhin wines.
Founded in Beaune in 1880, Maison Joseph Drouhin’s cellars have spread from the historical Cellars of the Dukes of Burgundy and the Kings of France in Beaune (12th-18th centuries) to the Moulin de Vaudon, an 18th Century watermill in Chablis.
A rigorous attention to detail, self-imposed discipline, a desire to learn, a rigorous sense of values, passion and daring, are the qualities that have been handed down through the generations, together with the art of winemaking and a never ending search for quality.
The Joseph Drouhin Domaine was assembled parcel by parcel over the years and today comprises 73 hectares (182.5 acres) of vineyards in Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise and Chablis. It is one of the most important domains in Burgundy, with more than two thirds of the vineyards classified as Premier and Grand Crus.
Today, the fourth generation is at the helm. Each has his role to play in imposing the Family “ Charter of Excellence”. Charter of Excellence
Joseph Drouhin Chambolle-Musigny 1er CruGenerally composed of Premier Cru from five plots (Noirots, Hauts Doix, Borniques, Plantes, Combottes) that are each too small to vinify and bottle separatelyPinot 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.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

2018 vintage: "marked by a wet spring, a superb summer and a good harvest"
2019 vintage reports
2021: "From a general standpoint, whether for white, rosé or red wines, 2021 is a year marked by quality in the Rhône Valley Vineyards. Structured, elegant, fresh and fruity will be the main keywords for this new vintage."
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.
