The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers is beautiful, bursting with aromas of sweet raspberries and plums mingled with rose petals, blood orange and subtle notions of lavender and potpourri. Full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's deep and layered, with a multidimensional core of fruit, supple tannins and a saline finish.

The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru has more presence than the Lavaux Saint-Jacques, yet there remains something introverted about this cuvée; it’s a bit stoic at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins. It’s a little richer than the Lavaux, with more backbone, raspberry and wild strawberry laced with white pepper and clove, leading to a satisfying, cohesive finish. Enjoy over the next 12 to 15 years.
