Good bright, full red. Knockout perfume of raspberry and rose petal offers an element of lift that I associate more with Clos Saint-Jacques. Then sappy and vibrant in the mouth, with outstanding purity and salty intensity to the flavors of red fruits and blood orange. Utterly fine-grained premier cru with perfectly harmonious acidity. The very long, rising finish features terrific floral, mineral lift. A great Cazetiers in the making.

An extremely pretty, cool, pure and layered nose features notes of humus, earth, animale, stone and cool red and dark berry fruit aromas. I very much like the mouth feel to the tautly muscled, intense and powerful flavors that possess real drive on the moderately structured and well-balanced finish that delivers exceptionally good length. Despite the relative firmness of the finish this is already relatively accessible and with an hour or so of air could even be enjoyed now though there is ample upside development potential remaining. In short, this is a lovely effort. Drink: Try from 2021+.

Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. Faiveley’s Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 2011 has a detailed nose, but the main problem is that it is distinctly lacking vigor and there is a touch of under-ripeness. The palate is a little hard on the entry, quite tough and masculine at the moment with dry, austere tannin on the finish. It feels a little dumb at the moment, though it may improve in bottle.
