Tasting notes
Bright, dark red. Highly complex, expressive scents and flavors of black cherry, blueberry, blackberry, licorice, animal fur and brown spices. Rich, pliant and slightly wild in the mouth, conveying compelling Gevrey perfume. Very suave for Cazetiers and most impressive on the back end, which features serious but smooth tannins and rising, palate-staining length. Cazetiers is our most consistent Gevrey premier cru after Clos Saint-Jacques, notes winemaker Frédéric Barnier.

The 2014 Gevrey Chambertin 1Er Cru Cazetiers is a large step up from the village cru with a different level of tension and mineralité. The palate is very cohesive with supple tannin, very well judged acidity, real density and poise, with a dash of white pepper and sage on the finish. There is a lot of charm and passion about this Cazetiers and it comes highly recommended.
Smells subtly fragrant. Refined, supple, relatively light-bodied and all in harmony. A little dry on the finish. (JH)
