Tasting Notes
The vines in the Domaine des Chézeaux parcel of Cazetiers are very old, lending additional intensity to this brilliant Premier Cru. The wine is delicate, with chalky minerality and delicate floral perfume that entices on the nose. The palate has an earthy minerality, but that’s complemented by beautifully transparent dark berry fruit. It’s firm in texture, with savoury mineral tannins that balance the wine’s natural juiciness. Effortlessly balanced, long and impressive. Five barrels were produced in 2023.

The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers ler Cru comes from the parcel that Amélie Berthaut was farming and was matured in 40% new oak. This has a delightful. beautifully defined bouquet with brambly red fruit, crushed stone and violet scents that blossom with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins. A touch of orange peel infuses the dark cherry fruit with a crackle of black pepper on the finish. This has a lot of potential.
The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Cazetiers is lovely, mingling aromas of sweet berries and orange rind with notions of spices, rose petals and creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, it's pure and floral, with good length on the finish. The 2023 vintage is the first that Charles van Canneyt has produced at Domaine des Chézeaux, which he an his wife Anne-Sophie Gagey acquired recently. Sharecropping agreements with Ponsot, Berthaut and René Leclerc were concluded, so van Canneyt is now farming the parcels and making the wines. The winemaking approach is much the same as at Hudelot-Noëllat.
Outstanding - Here too the more layered nose is fresh, cool and restrained with notably spicier aromas of wild dark currant and forest floor. There is good size and weight if only average density to the solidly powerful and mineral-driven flavors that also deliver excellent length on the moderately austere, firm and compact finale. This is potentially excellent and a wine that should age effortlessly on its balance. Drink from 2030.
About the producer
This Gevrey-Chambertin property was founded in 1982 but the vines were leased to other producers. As of 2021, that’s all changed, with Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat’s Charles van Canneyt and his wife Anne-Sophie having purchased the property. This is undoubtedly an address to watch.
