Tasting notes
Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, the 2014 Gevrey Chambertin 1Er Cru Cazetiers from Denis Berthaut was darker in color compared to its peers; likewise, the fruit is black instead of red, although at the moment it is obscured by a bit of oak that clearly needs time to be fully assimilated. The palate is well balanced with supple black fruit, grippy in the mouth, but it comes across as a little charmless at the moment. Hopefully it will gain more terroir expression and regain the stylishness that it exuded from barrel. Tasted September 2017.

Full dark red. Red plum, redcurrant and a whiff of musky animal reduction on the nose. In a juicy, sharply delineated style, boasting excellent inner-mouth floral lift to its concentrated berry and black cherry flavors. Finishes with excellent length and energy. The very old vines here yielded barely 28 hectoliters per hectare in 2014, according to Berthaut.
