Kalkstein Trocken Pinot Noir

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

Domaine Leroy

Les Cazetiers Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir 1949

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!"

Mongeard-Mugneret

Richebourg Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2011

Much too young, but that was the intention of the night....Though totally different terrior and taste, it in spirit reminded me of the '09 Marcassin I had a while ago. I think these two wines, more than any other, had the most delineated and distinct phases in the glass. At a point the Rbourg tasted of blood & iron. At another menthol and wood. Then the menthol started to die down to reveal brett. And then it went to a more stem focus... All the way to a forest floor characteristic. Marcassin is the only other wine I have had make such distince stark changes sip to sip. — 10 years ago
