| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.3 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 9 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by KPB on 6/11/2023 & rated 90 points: An interesting wine: vinified to be quite intense, but then must have been aged in oak - but not at all the kind of sweet oak you get in California Chardonnay. Here, they went with a more austere oak that brought tannic structure, bitterness, and at the same time, a supple mouthfeel.
So, let’s get technical. Open for about a hour now. Straw yellow, limpid texture. The nose centers on varietal fruit with white grapefruit pith, beeswax. On the palate, a rich wine with a slight malty bitterness echoing that grapefruit pith, or perhaps bitter almond. Best with another ten years in the cellar… not bad now but needs time to integrate.
90 now. Down the road, I can see how this could merit a much higher score, but to get there it needs to integrate and I honestly don’t know if it will manage that. Call it 90-93? By which I mean 90 now, as it is, but with the potential to improve and maybe to reach 93 for my palate.
This is drinkable now, but would need to be served with food. I had it with grilled bronzini cooked with garlic and preserved lemon, pretty intense flavors. (1798 views) | | | Tasted by Michael Hung on 9/21/2022 & rated 90 points: [Blind Night at Kevin's]
Oak was unintegrated and threw off some people into California. Lean orchard fruit, yellow apples and pears, cedar, oak, baking spices, cultured cream. Once into Burgundy, most were surprised at learning this was Grand Cru. A bit clumsy on the palette with many elements lacking integration, quite lacking in concentration. Perhaps an off-bottle (although Phil noted this was his second bottle and it matched his first experience). (1905 views) | | | Tasted by melzar on 1/25/2022 & rated 93 points: 93 points for current drinking, with a huge upside if the premox bug does not bite. Oak currently a little dominant, but expect integration with time in bottle. Reminds me of a Rhys chardonnay from California. (they would be pleased with this comparison). Copious fruit becomes evident with time in glass. Great wine, but is it worth the price? (2393 views) | | | Tasted by D_RICH on 1/2/2022 & rated 97 points: I fully concur with DH90. Otherworldly wine. (96+). (2246 views) | | | Tasted by DH90 on 1/1/2022 & rated 97 points: Lovely young Corton Charlemagne with a lovely nose and a luscious creaminess on the palate. Although very young, it was a pleasure to consume. Improved with an hour of aeration. Long rich feel on the palate. Reminds of the 1989 which was an outstanding vintage for this wine. (2167 views) |

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
