Maybe it was the company but this wine punched above its weight. A little higher acidity than I expected but dark fruit and mellow earthiness. — 9 years ago

Crazy oxidative and sherry like on aromas. Palate was rich with great acid. Still young and vital. A treat — 9 years ago
It's often said "it's better to be lucky than good." For the dicey 2011 vintage, being both was vital. One needed to be lucky with weather in the vineyard and good with both viticulture and winemaking. This wine is a great example of just that. It's expressive and earthy with briary black fruit--especially blackberry--and coffee. The medium-bodied palate is graceful and framed by very fine, soft tannins. It's super drinkable now, but will age for several years yet. 13.1% alc. $125 — 9 years ago
Hajo is never a bad finish for a tasting. Still very vital although this boy is already 26 years old. — 10 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
