Most certainly the WOTN, GdL never fails to impress. It’s classic Napa Cab through-and-through with a rich and expressive palate and a nose to die for. Looking forward to trying the 2016 due to the addition of some new clones. — 6 years ago

Vintage 1949 in Burgundy according to Broadbent: “..most perfect end of a decade - elegant, well-balanced wines”; Clive Coates in his book Cote D'Or: "best vintage of 40's all-perfect beauty and purity”; Robert M. Parker Jr.: “it was the best of post world war II vintages before 1959”
Henri Leroy at that time was négociant based in Auxey-Duresses, his mythical daughter Lalou Bize-Leroy in 1949 was only seventeen.
Les Cazetiers is amongst the most elevated of Premier Cru site in Gevrey-Chambertin - and indeed the whole of Burgundy.
I drank this precious bottle on Mount Etna with #FrankCornelissen and other dear friends. Uncork this bottle lead to a surgical operation. Just begun to pull it out, a light breath of wine molecule with air bubbles magically have emerged on the surface of the cork. It's been like witness the passing away of a dying old man (or Pinot Noir must be a woman?) That humanized wine had held "élan vital", hope and breath inside him for the last 66 years! A miracle of a wine still so tasty, robust, citrusy, vibrant, earthy, incredibly alive and well-preserved despite color and neck level did not bode so well.. that's what I thought and I'll remember until I die: "the wine was waiting for us to drink it up, he gave off his mortal blow to offer us life, joy and smile!" — 10 years ago
Slightly citric, minerality and salinity, clean fruit finish. — 6 years ago
Really nice pinot. Lots of dried cherries. Maybe a little vanilla. Very powerful wine. Maybe towards the end of its life though. Great now but not too much more life. ... this literally dies in its glass. I've never had a wine die so fast. And it's not that old. Could be a bad bottle but not interested in getting again. — 9 years ago
Really special! French oak, best selection. — 9 years ago
Really lively and lovely wine. Balanced, dense, fruit/oak. Vintage 2014. Paired great with lamb curry and bobotie — 10 years ago
Believe this is my first Clairette de Die. Mushrooms and cream and pretty delicious. — 10 years ago

Eine Bombe die sich erst nach einem Tag beruhigt, dann aber schönes Potential zeigend; nochmal 10 Jahre weglegen und dann immer noch 4 Stunden Luft geben — 5 years ago
