Gevrey Chambertin, Les Cazetiers, 1er Cru, 2018

Dense round and dark, but very suave and seductive. Voluptuous flavours of blackberries, woody spices and mocha clenched by powerful tannins. So curvaceous and smooth but deceptively strong. 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.
