| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.9 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 12 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Palisades57 on 3/8/2024 & rated 91 points: Very young and very fresh with a beautiful red fruit nose. Palate needs more time to integrate but shows lots of lift with the tannins only being prominent at the back end. Overall well balanced. More of a Village in terms of weight and complexity at this stage; perhaps it will improve with time, but a very good drink and well recommended for the price. (292 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 3/3/2023: The Verticals Tasting at 2023 La Paulée (Eventi Hotel, New York): Lighter ruby. Menthol and soil. Light weight. Lovely red fruit, excellent acidity and soil. A true terroir wine and leagues apart from the 2015, which is so much riper, sweeter, and altogether more modern. I really like this too. (1637 views) | | | Tasted by geoffreychambertin on 11/27/2022 & rated 89 points: Good, but does not reach the heights of Caillerets (924 views) | | | Tasted by KeithAkers on 9/10/2022 & rated 92 points: I bought this off the list, so it was followed over the course of lunch. The nose was giving right away, but it really turned on after about 45 minutes with raspberries, dark red cherries, Forrest floor, violets, porcini powder, cranberries, roses, earth, clove spices, herbs, and a touch of sweet tobacco. This really hit into the upper register with a slightly savory take that was inviting. The Medium bodied feel is deft and balanced with crisp, medium+ acidity and silky, medium tannins. This is clearly young. But, it’s also really lovely right now and starting from a strong base. This will likely benefit from 7+ years of aging before it begins to really show off what it has. (1071 views) | | | Tasted by VAGenius on 6/1/2022 & rated 94 points: PnP on its own. Earth, damp moss, and a bright cranberry note on the nose. Wide swath of red fruits, roses, acidity, and wet stones glides over the tongue with a prickly character leading into the finish. Long, soft and very fine tannins with cherry, tart cranberry, and a smooth, caressing, mouthfeel on the finish, adding some floral notes at the end. Very elegant - it shows its pedigree. You love drinking it but really want the glass to last. (1067 views) | | | Tasted by acyso on 5/14/2022 & rated 90 points: Some current red Burgundies (Chicago, IL): Served double blind. Aromatically intense and dark-fruited on the nose and palate (I actually thought this was a 2018). Lots of fruit with a touch of gloss and plenty of spicy notes. Given the fullness of the wine, I thought this might have been a Côte de Beaune instead. A touch of oak as well. (1720 views) | | | Tasted by BenBlu on 3/18/2021 & rated 90 points: Touch lighter than the Santenots 17 (which has more flesh and sex appeal), this too is a very good bottle of Volnay with clean as a whistle fruit and a immediate gratification for the drinker without any decant. I would drink those now or near term as I just think that they are in a good spot (already). (1322 views) | | | Tasted by vinkeger on 6/5/2020 & rated 90 points: Mørkerosa farge. Ganske lukket på duft. Lite frukt, mye fat. Fin fruktkvalitet i munn, men det dominerende fatpreget gjør vinen veldig trå. Gir lite glede nå, tror dette må ligge til minst 2027, og sikkert enda lenger. (1386 views) | | | Tasted by The Guzz on 3/27/2020 & rated 91 points: Bright cherry/berry nose, elegant perfumed spice, a touch of green. Seamless on the palate, matching profile. Pretty in the mouth. Not big but excellent flavor impact. The perfume really translates onto the palate. No sharp edges. (1165 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 4/17/2018: Tasting at Domain Yvon Clerget (Pommard, France): Barrel sample. Just a bit more body than the village Volnay but still so light. Slight reduction. Clean palate, delicate, again tart. (2126 views) |

Domaine Yvon Clerget
With roots in the village of Volnay dating back to the XIII century, the Clerget family has had the luxury of time to help select their vineyard plots from generation to generation. Over the last five years, the Domaine was somewhat dormant as the vineyards were managed by Henri Boillot and bottled under his label. Today, it comprises six hectares of the finest Volnay land as well as that of Meursault, Pommard and Clos Vougeot. Thibaud Clerget has taken over the Domaine and, at the age of 24, has begun the rejuvenation of one of the great Burgundian estates. His wines are delicate, vibrant and show their tremendous pedigree.
The Clerget family can trace its lineage back to 1268, in the midst of the crusades. It is believed that crusaders brought back Chardonnay grapes from Jerusalem. From this date onwards, the Clergets have worked hard, gaining recognition for the quality of their wines. Strong believers that vineyards are not born equal, they started to isolate the best plots of the Côte de Beaune and to buy pieces little by little, especially in Volnay, home the most refined Pinot Noirs. In 1936, the family bought a very special and small plot of premier cru called “Clos du Verseuil”, located just next to the magnificent “Taille Pieds” premier cru. They are the sole owners of this climat of 0.68 hectares. In 1945, Jean Clerget took over the vineyards at the end of World War II. Jean got married in 1948 to Edith Bon in Paris and they gave birth to Yvon Félix in Beaune in 1949.
Yvon studied at the Beaune Wine University, worked alongside his father for a few years and then accepted a job for another winery in Switzerland in 1973. Thereafter, his mother Edith took over the reins with the quality of the wines always at hear, such that she only bottled particularly good vintages. It’s in 1975 that Yvon Félix returned and fully took over the Domaine in 1983. After twenty-six vintages under his belt, Yvon decided to sell the grapes to wine merchants. The idea was that eventually, his son Thibaud would take over the reins at the Domaine.
Thibaud went to the Beaune Wine University, the best wine school in the region in order to learn all things wine and get himself ready to take over the family business. However, to further increase his knowledge he worked at Domaine Hudelot-Noellat in 2012 and 2013 in the vineyard and during the wine making process. In 2013, Thibaud travelled to New Zealand and worked at Giesen winery and in 2014 at Domaine Drouhin in Oregon, USA. These experiences opened up Thibaud’s eyes to the expression of the different terroirs* as well as the importance of the identity of a wine.
Domaine Clerget’s staggering mosaic of vineyards is closely nurtured in order to reveal the shades of the magnificent Pinot Noir varietal.
Today, the Domaine owns the following vineyards:
REDS
- Bourgogne Pinot Noir – “Les Longbois and Les Durots” – 35 Ares
- Volnay – “Les Petits Gamets and En Echards” - 1.09 hectare
- Volnay 1er cru “Les Santenots” – 68 ares

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.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
