Bordeaux Wine Enthusiasts

2013 was bad with Bordeaux, but in Bourgogne, it seems to be ok. I opened that wine from the Côte Chalonnaise tonight, from Domaine Ragot, a producer with a good reputation.

Color is dark red for a Pinot. Nose is nice, with fresh blackcurrants, blue grapes, light licorice, blueberries and light oak. In mouth, good medium concentration, again with blue fruits flavors, integrated burned spices oak, ripe tannins, light austerity and minerality. Medium length, good character, reming me some concentrated Beaujolais from Descombes or Mathin. Excellent but basically fruity, young, not very complex yet, but tasty. Tn: 89-90.

Nicklass,
Not sure 2013 was so great in Burgundy.
It was quite variable, and hard to generalise.
But I have tried a few rather insipid wines from 2013, and instead, bought the 2014 and 2015 whites, and loaded up a bit on 2015 reds.
Burgundy just does not get the recognition in Singapore that Bordeaux gets, thus I can buy back vintages from top years (2005, 2009, 2010 etc) at reasonable prices.
