Gevrey Chambertin, Les Cazetiers, 1er Cru, 2017
Curvaceous, refined velvety Gevrey. Incredibly polished and elegant if mouth-filling flavours of damson, griotte, raspberry and strawberry. Inviting and attractive from the off. A first rate Gevrey Premier Cru vineyard high up on the slope next door to Clos St Jacques, whilst there is a similar aromatic quality to the wines of its neighbour the taste profile is very different, with suaver, rounder fruit coming from the white clay soils found here in this limestone-influenced parcel in the upper part of the vineyard.
critic reviews
The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru has a beautifully defined, elegant bouquet of disarming purity – a real charmer. The palate is very well balanced, demonstrating assiduous use of stems. Poised, natural and tensile toward the tart finish, this is classic Gevrey-Chambertin, very well crafted if just a little exotic in style. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.
