Tasting Notes
Neal Martin 93
The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru has a veneer of new oak on the nose plus some reduction, but there seems to be plenty of red fruit here it s just suppressed under that reductive haze at the moment. The palate is clean and fresh with fine tannins, a silver bead of acidity and touches of allspice and black pepper that furnish a relatively complex and engaging finish. Persistent. This is a finely-crafted Les Cazetiers. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.
Anticipated maturity: 2027-2050

Faiveley’s 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers is very promising indeed, mingling aromas of smoky berry fruit and plums with hints of rose hip, orange peel, musk and spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, it’s concentrated and vibrant, with velvety tannins, lively acids and a long, perfumed finish.

Barrel sample. Toasty oak frames this gentle, easy charmer. Good freshness lifts this solid performer. Cherry fruit. No great length.
