Tasting notes
The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru takes time to settle in the glass. Predominantly red-fruited, with cranberry and raspberry, it is higher-toned that its peers, but well-defined and quite sumptuous in style. The palate is medium-bodied with a solid structure, though is perhaps a little more rigid and unflexing than some others. Slightly candied toward the finish but with satisfying tension, I feel this has more to give. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers is very promising, mingling notes of rose petals and wild berries with hints of loamy soil, sweet spices and a discreet application of new oak. Medium to full-bodied, layered and textural, it's fleshy and enveloping, with lively acids and a suave, elegant profile. This is well worth seeking out.
The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru comes from all four soil profiles in the vineyard – the only producer to have the "complete set." The generous bouquet presents red cherry and wild strawberry fruit, crushed stone and light tobacco scents. The palate is medium-bodied and fleshy, with supple tannins, black pepper and a touch of sage toward the finish. Very fine.
