| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.4 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 25 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 3/1/2024: La Paulée de Los Angeles - The Verticals (Maybourne Hotel - Beverly Hills CA): Vertical. Magnum. Maybe this will be as exciting as the 2010 someday, but it will take longer. so 2005 in that respect. So much here, backward now. (550 views) | | | Tasted by daghaug on 7/12/2020: Blomster, røde bær, litt fatkrydder, vanilje - ikke helt integrert eik ennå, men lekker duft likevel. Flott fruktfylde i munnen, med diskret syre som gir akkurat riktig friskhet. Kraftig burgunder, men kanskje mindre enn forventet for en Pommard 2005 - faktisk nokså elegant. Deilig vin! (2477 views) | | | Tasted by WoodieBayArea on 5/19/2020: 2 hour decant, no notes, but remember this being very good for its level, and a little less heavy that I could have expected from '05 (which I find brooding in many cases) and Pommard (2163 views) | | | Tasted by RaggaMat on 1/27/2020 & rated 93 points: As with my previous bottles, this benefited enormously from a little aeration. On opening it was shy on the nose and a bit simple on the palate. After half an hour or so it had blossomed into a wonderfully fragrant, elegant and savoury wine. Black cherry and raspberry with some background spice, a sensual texture with that ethereal quality sometimes found in the wines of Montille. The best (and sadly the last) of my four bottles. (2312 views) | | | Tasted by chablis28 on 8/22/2019 & rated 93 points: A semi opaque deep ruby-red. On night one at Tilia we opened this and started drinking 10 minutes later. This needed a lot more air then I could likely even have given it on night one. It was nearly everything wine drinkers didn't like about the plodding pre 1990s Pommards of the past. It was dense, brooding and lacking in any semblance of Burgundian nuance. Foursquare and blunt on night one with only some savory notes popping through the prominent tannins. I took the little over 1/2 btl home and tried it again tonight. WOW! the storm clouds parted and what an evolution overnight! Tonight, on night 2 this had majestic, nose diving, autumnal aromas along with loads of spice. Still robust and masculine in style and weight this was now showing the promise everyone keeps waiting for these '05s to show. Elegant, pure, confident, defined and layered nuance tonight. Expansive, penetrating suave layers of; black raspberry, cinnamon, minerals and forest floor on a much more exciting flavorful palate. This went from a nearly un-scoreable wine on the first night at Tilia to a near rock star on night 2. 93pts+ on 2nd night. Still some left that I'll try again tomorrow night. (2773 views) | | | Tasted by rocknroller on 8/21/2019: Dark red color. PNP, drank a glass over an hour. Same bottle as Chablis28. This was brooding and big on opening, tart cherry ffirm tannins and just not giving a lot when we had it. A previous bottle showed better initially. I'd score this about 90 as it is tonight, but I'll reserve my official score and defer to Chablis28's final note on day two. (2546 views) | | | Tasted by portman63 on 10/13/2017 & rated 92 points: As with many of de Montille, this started out reticent and showing of mostly black fruit. After an hour or so it started to show more fruit and less of the mineral forest floor it started with. I kept some for a 2nd night and seemed more in the red raspberry realm for fruit with earthiness gone and some minerals on the back end. Really a lovely wine with years ahead and not at peak yet to my palate so the score should rise since it is an at-the-moment not potential score. (2279 views) | | | Tasted by rgawlowski on 5/15/2017 & rated 92 points: Very nice nose; bright color, nice fruit. (2442 views) | | | Tasted by Margauxguy on 8/20/2016 & rated 94 points: Lovely, sexy, bright and balanced. Rich red, dark skinned fruits. Velvet,
Acidity, with a touch of sappy, savory mouth feel. Very good (3499 views) | | | Tasted by mjg87 on 7/11/2015: Really expressive nose of red and dark fruit, with spice, wood and dark fruit dominating the palate. (3512 views) | | | Tasted by Finare Vinare on 4/11/2015 & rated 89 points: Not by far as elegant and slender as the '02, more on the heavy side, with less freshness and ethereal overtones. Also surprisingly oaky, with light fudge/caramelized sweetness. Of course it has qualities, but lacks the expected style. For example, de Montille's NSG Aux Thorey was a lot more fun and had the complex old-school personality. Big disappointment! (4319 views) | | | Tasted by Wfjohn on 4/21/2014 & rated 92 points: Surprisingly tannic on opening. Tasty but a bit aggressive. Left open for 1 hour. Much better after the air. Tannin faded and had nice acidity. Great balance. Nice fruit and acidity. Raspberry. Really enjoyed it. Glad I have another (3998 views) | | | Tasted by chablis28 on 2/9/2014 & rated 93 points: Already showing very well. Beautiful example of a classic ethereal Burg style by a master. Wish I owned this vintage too! Defintely will benefit from more btl age but fun to drink now if you own more than a few. (3644 views) | | | Tasted by rocknroller on 2/9/2014 & rated 93 points: Monthly Tasting Group: Cote de Beaune (The Lynn on Bryant, Mpls, MN): Very dark red color. PNP, drank 1 glass over 90 minutes. Thanks to Mike for popping his backup bottle just for the heck of it! This was really fun to drink even in its youth. Very primary with gorgeous fruit, silky and full bodied, lush, berry and deep dark fruits, spice and a long finish. Oh so pretty... (4345 views) | | | Tasted by Marcyrillo on 2/2/2012 & rated 92 points: Confraria Borgonha: Very complex. Still young. Great wine. (4054 views) | | | Tasted by David Strange on 9/13/2010: Oh this smells rather attractive. The nose has a very clear expression of strawberry and raspberry fruit which is scrupulously clean, perfectly ripe, intensely pure and very Cote de Beaune in character. 2005 was a warm vintage but this shows no hint of over-ripeness, it is impeccable in its restraint. There is a good stony character to the nose as well and, whilst I find myself thinking this is quite pretty, it certainly is distinctly intricate. A top bunny set of aromas, all right. Given the pulchritudinous nature of the nose the sudden tannic onslaught of the palate is initially a bit of a surprise. However, whilst these tannins are definitely brawny they are not out of balance with the ample fruit which permeates the palate and makes the overall impression as I swill this around my palate one of structured but engaging sophistication. There is an intriguing, slightly cinnamon like, spiciness present here as well which only adds to the complexity which I feel this wine is engorged with. Clearly this wine is roughly a decade or more away from being at its most beguilingly giving, but as far as my enjoyment extracted from drinking it whilst writing this note goes I’m rather taken with its strapping, well knit vivacity. I feel enlivened drinking a wine so bursting with vital potency. (4344 views) | | | Tasted by Barbara B on 11/16/2006 & rated 94 points: AIS: vertical tasting with Etienne de Montille: Purple. Nose: big fruit; some vanilla and toastiness; very nice. Palate: sensation of sweetness; high acidity; I wrote nothing about tannins and alcohol. Overall: already has intriguingly long finish and great complexity. Second favourite after the 2002. (4877 views) |

| Domaine de Montille 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 Pèzerolles 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
