Bourgogne Aligoté

2011
🇫🇷 Et enfin, hier soir, on nous a servi en dégustation à l'aveugle un Bourgogne Aligoté. La plus petite des Appellatios... mais dans ce cas capable d'exprimer tous l'essence des grands vins de Bourgogne ❤️ La grandeur de Lalou Bize Leroy

🇮🇹 ieri sera ci è stato servito alla cieca un Bourgogne Aligoté. L'ultima delle Appellations borgognone, che nel caso specifico è stata in grado di esprimere tutta l'essenza dei grandi vini di Borgogna.

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!"

Les Beaux Monts Vosne-Romanée Pinot Noir 2001

The Leroy Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts 2001 possesses a sublime, deep inner perfume of dewy meadow flowers, crushed raspberry, forest floor and pitched top-notes of pine and incense. Ruby and translucent, it's incredibly fresh and vibrant with subtle complexity on the palate. Layers of wild red berries, iron, spiced crabapple and rose hips cavort amidst ultra-fine tannins and minerally notes. This is a wine with fine bones, it's all lightness and air, much like the enigmatic Lalou Bize-Leroy herself. — 9 years ago

Howdy, Delectable crew. For your categorizing purposes that is actually Domaine d'Auvenay instead of Maison Leroy

Lalou. She is epic, as are her wines. This one was maybe a little advanced in the aging for 15yo, but the acid and profile were beautiful. — 9 years ago

Les Vignots Pommard Pinot Noir 1999

A stunning 1999 Pommard from Domaine Leroy headed by the legendary Lalou Bize-Leroy. Incredible complexity on the nose, which evolved throughout the evening. First impressions were of subtle spice and flowers, forest and earth, alpine strawberries and red berries, dried mint and wild game. In the mouth, the structure is superbly focused. Silky, fruit-laden texture encompassed in fine tannins and stately power. This wine is precise, balanced, ethereal. — 10 years ago
