| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.4 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 10 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by BenBlu on 1/17/2024 & rated 92 points: I am a bit on the fence with this wine... a bottle in 2021 was quite giving and "easy", then we had a clearly off bottle in 2023 and now this was initially quite muddled on opening and didn't reveal much in the form of hallmark CLB aromas but with air it turned the corner slightly. For me CLB consistently delivers in general but possibly 05 and 06 is a bit more tricky / mixed here (bottle variation, things were still on the up in quality?) while 07 onwards I had almost only winners. (464 views) | | | Tasted by BenBlu on 3/21/2023 flawed bottle: Sadly a (very) oxidised bottle despite coming from perfect storage and provenance. I have encountered issues of oxidation with some 06 CLBs which can show either beautiful or stewed/Barolo-esque. I had a good bottle of Reignots 05 last year so this was definitely the bottle. Maybe a cork issue around the time of 05/06??? (1248 views) | | | Tasted by beatles on 2/26/2023 & rated 90 points: Has not moved much, still that pruny side to it; very concentrated, certainly, in that sense a 2005, but this is more than just mature, it has an oxidative side to it. One of the weakest of the day.
#Peytz&Co (1562 views) | | | Tasted by BenBlu on 11/4/2021 & rated 95 points: During a wonderful evening with core theme CLB Reignots. This was an 05 that is surprisingly accessible, not too concentrated (in fact it was almost light footed) and already showing good nuance aside of the very enchanting core cherry fruit. It's all in place but with 5 more years could/should develop more secondary notes and become even more interesting. Sadly I don't think I will be fortunate enough to encounter it again. Bottle 1244 of 1663 (1766 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 6/30/2021 & rated 84 points: Over the hill and simply tastes cooked. Bad wine to be avoided. (1190/1663) (1951 views) | | | Tasted by beatles on 6/13/2020 & rated 90 points: Tasted vis-avis the 2009, this I falling behind, surprisingly for the vintage; seems very ready to drink, some richness, sous bois, hints of oxidation. Really don't know where this is going - if anywhere.
#Jordnær (2731 views) | | | Tasted by beatles on 3/9/2018 & rated 89 points: A wee bit oxidized and tired, to be honest, some sweet fruit left, but not much. Modern style ... (3138 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 3/3/2016 & rated 92 points: Zachys La Paulee "Warm-up" Dinner (Boulevard - San Francisco CA): Small glass, brief note. Ultra concentration with slightly more black vs red fruit. Meaty, long and powerful, but slightly monolithic for now. I wouldn't open this for another decade. (3875 views) | | | Tasted by tinybubbles on 3/3/2016 & rated 92 points: Concentrated with licorice notes and deep dark earth. Needs a lot of time. 92+ (3684 views) | | | Tasted by Keith Levenberg on 5/11/2008 & rated 90 points: Simple and primary. The silkiness of the texture is immediately apparent, but there's nothing here besides supple, restrained fruit and some woodspice. At Le Gourmandin. (5429 views) |

| Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair 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.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
