Maison Leroy, Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1969

Old Burgundies … can be a real treat. This was the case with the Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1969 from Maison Leroy. Starting out a bit mouldy .. but pure and crisp after 5 to 10 minutes in the glass. In the bouquet bright red berries – mulberries, raspberries and sous-bois and hint of truffle – lovely transparency and detail. On the palate lovely vivid fruit, fine detail and a lovely purity – tremendous energy for this age. Showing beautifully … although not a very intense and powerful wine. A wine of finesse and refinement – a rare treat.
