GEVREY CHAMBERTIN
2019 1er Cru Cazetiers Domaine Faiveley
Medium deep crimson, with reductive spicy notes. The quality of the fruit underneath the reduction is clearly very fine, developing gracefully across the palate with a little oak to finish and a trace of reductive bitterness. The wine should win through to score more highly later. Just a slightly lactic finish. Drink from 2027-2032. Tasted: September 2023. Drinking range: 2027 - 2032 Rating: *** Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy (Nov 2023)

A gush of succulent black cherry fruit introduces this effusive red, along with black currant, blackberry, iron and oak spice notes. Dense, yet racy, with an intense, lingering finish of fruit, mineral and spices. Best from 2025 through 2045. Drinking range: 2025 - 2045 Rating: 95 Bruce Sanderson, The Wine Spectator (Feb 2022)
(from a huge 3.96 ha parcel that gave yields of only 20 hl/ha in 2019). In contrast to the prior wines, here the nose is quite firmly reduced. More interesting are the superbly concentrated and gorgeously textured big-bodied, powerful and muscular flavors that flash a mix of minerality and salinity on the wonderfully complex and highly persistent finish where the only nit is a slight warmth. This is potentially outstanding and a wine that should age effortlessly. Drinking range: 2034 - Rating: 92-94 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2021)
Faiveley's 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers is very promising indeed, mingling aromas of smoky berry fruit and plums with hints of rose hip, orange peel, musk and spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, it's concentrated and vibrant, with velvety tannins, lively acids and a long, perfumed finish. Rating: 93-95 William Kelley, The Wine Advocate (Jan 2021)
This is a mix of their five cuvées, Faiveley being easily the largest holders of Cazetiers. Deep bright purple, with a very toasty reductive nose. Super-lush yet perfectly balanced behind, has not lost the precision, but gained in volume of fruit. Finishes on the mineral even with a saline touch. Jérôme and Erwan have fallen in love with this, and I cannot say they are wrong. Very seductive finish. Tasted: November 2020 ***** Rating: 94 - 97 Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy (Jan 2021)
The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru does not quite possess the intensity and drive of the Lavaux Saint-Jacques, coming across rather static by comparison. The palate is medium-bodied with elegant dark berry fruit and a harmonious, briny finish that completes this Les Cazetiers with style. I suspect the nose just needs some time to awaken and get its act together. Drinking range: 2024 - 2044 Rating: 90-92 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Dec 2020)
