| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.9 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 14 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by MN Wine Junkie on 1/25/2024 & rated 94 points: 5 Guys and a Gal! (Casa Joe & Khem): Is it young? Yes! Is it good? No.....it's great! This wine should sit for years, but that will be difficult as it is pretty darn tasty right now! Nose is perfumed with lots of cherry and cherry blossom, plus some cedar and spice. Palate is predominantly cherry and tree bark, with a streak of minerality featuring lots of iron and graphite, with some mushroom, forest floor, spice and some signature black pepper. A nice balance between fruit and tertiary flavors, leaning toward the fruit side of the spectrum. As much as this is in my wheelhouse now, I can't help but feel how much better it will be with a few more years of bottle age and additional complexities emerge! 94 to 94+ now, could gain a point or two with additional bottle age! (741 views) | | | Tasted by rocknroller on 1/25/2024 & rated 93 points: Guy's Night: Aged Bordeaux/Bordeaux Blends (Joe & Khem's Place, Mpls): Dark red color. Drank a small glass over 30 minutes. Lots of iron and crushed rockm very minerally, earthy, cherry, slightly sweet fruit, dried herbs, lovely texture, solid backbone. Drinks well for the age. 92+ to 93pts. (771 views) | | | Tasted by galewskj on 1/25/2024 & rated 93 points: Semi-guys night (My house): This had been previously coravined, about 3/4ths left. Minerality, earth, perfume, pink flowers, the finish is slightly hollow. (760 views) | | | Tasted by Irish_Wine on 5/31/2023 & rated 93 points: Rich and refined on the nose with layers of berry fruit and toasty oak. Structured with great intensity on the palate. Lovely, persistent creamy black cherry and vanilla finish. Hold.
WSET Notes:
Medium ruby.
Pronounced on the nose with black cherry, raspberry, blackberry, vanilla, cedar, cinnamon and toast. Youthful.
Pronounced and dry on the palate. Medium body, medium alcohol, medium plus tannins, long finish.
Too young. (826 views) | | | Tasted by Musigny1955 on 5/11/2023 & rated 91 points: {Corton Clos des Corton tasting organized by JL at Black Cat} decanted at 3pm, tasted ~ 7.30 pm. Excellent size, elegant; surprisingly available and not reserved. I think the others at the table liked this more than I did - I thought the 2016 and 2017 (quite different styles) appealed to me more tonight. (1293 views) | | | Tasted by Collector1855 on 11/17/2022 & rated 94 points: Domaine visit. Lots of sour cherry here. Generous fruit and very polished structure, tannins under control here as well. Sappy, fresh. Not the last word on complexity but solid, can add a point from here. (2000 views) | | | Tasted by Sean Tay on 10/19/2022 & rated 93 points: Pronounced nose intensity with red and black fruits, dark red cherry. Medium+ acidity and medium+ tannin. Still youthful. (1493 views) | | | Tasted by Rajagopalanator on 3/29/2022 & rated 95 points: Would hold off opening this.
Leather, mild spice, berry nose.
Fairly tight right now.
Leathery, dark spice to finish
Big and complex tannins (1917 views) | | | Tasted by beatles on 3/1/2022: Juicy, dense, rich, concentrated with a sound core of fruit. Almost sinful to open a wine like this at this stage (was not my idea), but like many wines from this year, it can certainly be enjoyed. Better in ten years.
#fromIB (2266 views) | | | Tasted by T.E.D. on 4/10/2021 & rated 91 points: Dark violet color. Nose is rich and opulent, jammy berries, sweet leather, dusty, hints of spice and forest. Palate is tight at this stage. Leaning quite ripe and fruit focused, with coaxing mineral undertones come about, along with some forest, forest floor, clay. Stylistically not my cup of tea as this vintage leans more new world at this stage. Lacking acid in some ways. With time this will mellow, curious how this develops. (2325 views) | | | Tasted by Andre Brattland on 2/21/2021 & rated 94 points: Rich and quite broad in the aromas with a dense fruit of dark redberry fruit, clearly hefty barrel spice, against mocha and leather. Full-bodied and wonderfully distinctive wine with a really dense mouthfeel that cries cellar time with concentrated redberry fruit against cherriesand raspberries. Lovely perfume and spices in the background with great saltiness. This wine stays in the mouth for a long time. Good acidity and tannin structure. For a eternity. 94 points. (2630 views) | | | Tasted by Jammy Wine on 11/14/2019 & rated 91 points: Clos des Cortons Monopole is one of the flagship wines of Faiveley, 2.77ha. Powerful and structured with similar intensity as the Chambertin Clos de Beze. Exuberant juicy blueberries and dense cherries. Full bodied with firm and ripe tannins. More red fruited than the Clos de Beze and arguably a touch less complex, but a fine Grand Cru. (91-92/100) (4090 views) | | | Tasted by dcwino on 6/12/2019 & rated 96 points: Five winos excellent adventure , mostly in Burgundy; 6/7/2019-6/15/2019 (Beaune, France): Explosive nose displaying opulent concentrated black fruit, blackberry, blackberry liqueur, Chambord, lavender, baking spices and crushed rocks. Exceptional concentration, layers upon layers of intense black fruit, unctuous and dense yet silky and sensual, perfect amount of acidity and mineral, and a long concentrated black fruit driven finish. This is the most concentrated wine of the tasting. Really impressive showing. (4830 views) |

Importer 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.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
