The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers comes from Faiveley’s substantial four-hectare parcel. I find this has more gumption and detail than the Lavaux Saint-Jacques at the moment. The nose features layers of blackberry, raspberry and crushed stone aromas, and the sweet, candied palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin. Blood orange and quince infuse the red fruit toward the finish. Excellent.
Generally, I’d rather they used a lot less new oak in Burgundy. And the higher you go up the tree, the more they seem to throw at it, which to me seems counter-intuitive, given you’d want to showcase the site and grape variety. Anyway, they’ll likely go on as they see fit, though it seems a shame. The wine takes 40-50% new oak, and 50-60% second fill.
A fair volume of plum and dark cherry fruit, spice, dark roast coffee beans, orange oil and rose perfume submerged under that. It’s dark, lush and toasty, some raspberry juiciness, cool ‘mineral’ acidity offering a light tang, and fine grainy, slightly charry tannin runs on a long and ample finish. I’d rather a bit less oak, but reckon it will settle with appropriate bottle age.
