Run to a wine store to buy this right now! (10 Pinot Noirs)

Today, we are going to taste the 10 wines 10 wines? Yeah And they are all from Burgundy Red or white? Red Hmm Well, last week was white Yeah Okay You were a little bit disappointed by the quality of the Chablis I was. I am excited. I love Burgundy They are from five wineries Five producers Five producers, okay But that doesn't mean two wines each It just means from five producers That means two wines for each Okay Two wines from each winery Okay, so I am presuming then, if that's the case Before I even start to taste, I'm thinking about tasting I'm presuming that if you're buying two wines from each winery They are at different levels Why do you think so? Because why would you buy two wines at the same level Unless you were concerned about one being corked or something You want me to be able to tell the difference It's a sneaky thing You want me to try and be able to tell the difference in quality I checked the bottle conditions And on one bottle, the capsule was totally stuck to the bottle So I ripped it off piece by piece Because there was a leak Is it a lower flow? Not really I serve you the wine This is how I exercise every day I can't think of a better way No Perhaps next time, we should start doing it with magnums Of a cheap, under $10 Chardonnay? Oh, no Okay, looks great Looks fantastic Are we ready to go? Yeah, it looks expensive So what do you think about the overall quality? Overall quality is fantastic Yeah? Finally! Overall quality is fantastic Peter is satisfied I cannot believe 10 Burgundies Because I don't believe any of these is a $500 bottle I cannot believe 10 Burgundies of this quality with entry-level wines in there It's really astounding Wonderful, wonderful tasting All the wines showed decently If there's one wine that's a little bit not so good We'll talk about that and see if maybe there's an issue there For sure, for me, of higher appellation wines, the last two For sure, I mean, there's an appellate authority There's something going on there that's more But you know, down here, the entry-level wines Presuming that they are simple Bourgogne Rouge Are also good Also, I did not find the classic Burgundy characteristics Of, you know, the savory sort of green, sort of slightly unripe Only on one wine Yes, they're all relatively recent vintages But they're all kind of warm vintages 19, 18, 16, that kind of thing You're right Not hot, but warm So no green characteristics No Very nice, easy to drink I haven't found any green characteristics So perhaps we should go through them I'm very pleased Do you know what they are? No Okay Wine No. 1 Actually, that was my lowest score But my lowest score was 16.5 Really? Out of 20 Normally, for you, if it is 16.5, it's one of the highest scores I think it's an 18 Maybe it could be Bourgogne Cote d'Or I would be so happy to drink that wine At 20 to 25, that's gorgeous value At 45, it's bad value At 15, you need to buy everything you can What do you say? It was immediately minerally on the nose To me, it was the least minerally But that's what amazed me about all these wines Was the minerally character on all of them I'm blown away I loved it It's so nice to hear you Because last time, I prepared what you liked Those Chablis It was a terribly sad taste Yeah So this time, when I was preparing these wines I told myself, Peter should be satisfied Well, you did a great job Right, thank you I smelled lots of raspberry and strawberry And balance was good And I liked it So I think it's the lower level Okay I still love the wine You still love the wine For me, I'm just interested in the price If it's $35, no If it's $20, yes Wine No. 1 Joseph Trouin Côte de Vaune Village, 2018 It's $35 Yeah No No? There are better wines in this lineup I'm guessing for less money Okay It's a very nice wine I'd be very, very happy to drink it But I want to drink it at $25 to $27 Okay Then I give you some discount Because it is already opened You're such a kind man I couldn't find more entry-level wine of Joseph Trouin So I couldn't find the Bourgogne Rouge That was the reason why I chose this Côte de Vaune Village For their entry-level wine Then wine No. 2? Slightly dusty perfume But a powerful perfume Sweet, clean When you say dusty perfume, what kind of perfume? Dusty character Sometimes I get the dusty character from American oak I don't know why these wines are getting this sort of dusty character But a slightly dusty character I found it had more grip and more minerality than the first wine More serious I love this wine I thought this was a higher appellation than the first wine But I still thought it was a village wine And I scored it quite a lot higher If this is an entry-level wine, then it's amazing Even as a village wine, it's pretty damn good depending on the price This one is purer and leaner than the previous one Yeah, it's focused, it's linear It's direct, but it's still complex And to me, there's the access to a fruit sauce that has more authority More authority on the palate, more nuances Without getting all muddy Lovely, lovely wine That's getting up to... Stratospheric levels Oh, right, I see It's hard to breathe up there What did you think? As I said, it's leaner and purer than the previous one But leaner not in a negative sense, right? No, no, no No, in a positive sense Feels like a little bit lighter, but it's firm It has grip I think it's the same vintage though Yeah? Why do you think so? It's sort of like a family resemblance to me to the first wine But just sort of elevated Wine No. 2 Domaine AF Gros Bourgogne Haute Cote de Nuit, 2018 It's $40 $40? Yeah Okay, it's because it's AF Gros The wine's beautiful, absolutely beautiful And also, as I've been saying, the Eau Côte de Nuit The grapes are a whole lot cheaper than they are from the more classic parts of Burgundy The quality coming out of the Eau Côte de Nuit for both white and red Is improving all the time, faster than the price of the grapes Is the wine worth $40? Yes Is that Appalachian worth $40? Not yet No But now you're paying for AF Gros So now you're paying for... Not terroir Now you're paying for winemaking Yeah You know, we were tasting it blind, right? It drank like a higher level Yeah, beautiful wine So there is a reason why it can be expensive Yeah, yeah, it's a beautiful wine Then the wine No. 3? It had more nose, more minerality A beautiful balance, bigger shoulders So oak, bigger shoulders Sort of trying to say to me, it's a more serious wine I'm going for a village wine here I got a very high score from me Absolutely love this wine It's a wine you need to think about a little bit more It's a wine that, you know, I'd be very happy to drink either of these two right now This one, maybe wait a year A gorgeous wine How about you? For me, this is the only wine where I sensed VA You know, I smell that sweet-sour character that you're talking about It's not obtrusive to me It's not something that detracts from the wine Once I hear your explanation, it tastes better than that That's how it works with our viewers, too It's how it works with everybody We are so subject to our own influences And even more so to the influences of the people around us I used to teach classes at a local university And I was teaching classes in blind wine tasting I would tell the people Just remember that at every table There is one person that is very, very, very outspoken about his or her views And purports to be extremely knowledgeable And then I would tell them And that is usually correlated with the worst palate at the table Do not listen Oh, yeah, right Yeah, I totally agree Because the suggestion and the auto-suggestion is just all too easy At every table, there is one person At least one But usually just one who knows it all And he's got a terrible palate So the whole table gets it wrong, you know? Those are the con men of the world You know, the kind of people that talk little old ladies into paying millions and millions of dollars for something that never happens Alright, let's see it I loved it Alright, wine No. 3 Louis Jadot Bonne Clos des Ursules Premier Cru Monopole 2018 It's $80 $80 You have to pay that for an 18-point wine So it is that good Now, that $40 wine before it provides beautiful, beautiful drinking But this is better And unfortunately, in Burgundy, for a wine that's one point better, you pay double the money But it's a beautiful wine As Jadot is very, very serious That's a beautiful bottle of wine Wine No. 4 Wine No. 4 is interesting Is it one of the better entry-level wines? Or is it a village wine? Very, very monorally Lovely, lovely fruit But the nose was faint and not very complex No If it's a village wine, it's fine But if it's a Bourgogne Rouge, it's even better I would expect it to be slightly more expensive than regular Bourgogne Rouge For me, it's not very complex, but it wasn't as simple It was a little bit high in alcohol It was immediately minerally for me Oh, the bottle is so heavy Lucien Lemoine, Bonne Première Crue, Les Clos des Mouches, 2017 And it's $110 Not good enough for the price Not good enough for the price, not in this lineup I love the package Yeah, could you hold the bottle for me? It is so heavy! Wow, it is heavy Yeah, it's really heavy As you sometimes say, they spent too much money for the bottle It's also a violation of the planet Wow, this is really heavy Look at the bottle, it's higher than the others And it's bigger than the others, too It's marketing Yeah, it's marketing It was not great for the price I don't think so No Alright, wine No. 5 I loved it It had a little bit of astringency to it But on the nose, it was very spicy like curry Yeah, it's very spicy, true And we want spicy Burgundy, right? We love that And the nose is so smooth and clean And I love the authority and the length on the palate You know, when you look at Burgundy You also look for something I haven't even talked about today Which is one of the things that sets fine Pinot Noir And particularly fine Burgundy apart From almost anything else you can drink is the mouthfeel Soft, silky, sexy, sultry mouthfeel It should never be gritty in the mouth It should never be Cabernet Sauvignon Definitely, it shouldn't taste like Cabernet Sauvignon When you are drinking Pinot Noir This is true Particularly red Burgundy does That almost no other grape variety does Is to deliver you sexy mouthfeel And does this wine carry those things? Actually, not yet It does not have the perfectly silky mouthfeel Alright, I'm so curious So shall we see what it is? Let's have a look So wine No. 5 It's a Louis Jadot Pinot Noir Bourgogne, 2018 It's $20 Take me home Country road One, two, three, four, five That's for $20? Yeah, $20 But I mean, I told you, Jadot is a very, very serious producer If you remember, we tasted this wine before And our evaluation was great It's good That's a great, great buy for $20 Now run to wine stores and buy Louis Jadot Bourgogne 2018 Lovely bottle of wine for the money Yeah $20, wow It's time to run If you come to Naverband, I'll help you find wine that's easy and cheap Everyone was happy with the wine
