FAIVELEY - Gevrey-Chambertin 1er cru les Cazetiers - 2017

FAIVELEY

Gevrey-Chambertin 1er cru les Cazetiers 2017

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.
