Faiveley Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers 2020 - Burgundy
Bottle size: 750ml
Deep ruby red hue with an intense and complex nose characterised by red fruits, toast and subtle roasted notes. The palate is rich and round with a firm structure and direct tannins.
The term "Cazetier" originates from "Castel", the parcel situated just above the Château de
Gevrey. It is one of the rare "Têtes de Cuvée" to not have been reclassified as a Grand Cru in
the 1930's. Along with "Lavaux-Saint-Jacques" and "Clos Saint-Jacques", this climat is
considered to be one of the best Premiers Crus in Gevrey. The Domaine has owned half of
the appellation since 2013.
Exposition South-East
Soil Chalky soils with white marl sedimentary deposits
Grape Variety Pinot Noir
Our notes
Tasting note: Once again there is a lovely sense of freshness to the more restrained, even brooding, dark berry fruit nose that is cut with hints of the sauvage and just turned earth. The dense, powerful and gorgeously textured larger-scaled flavors brim with both dry extract and minerality before concluding in a complex, balanced and sneaky long finale. Excellent potential here.

Bright vibrant purple, this is exuberant, wearing its heart on
its sleeve. On the richer side, I was thinking possible 14% but
Erwan confirms 13.5%. It has retained all its balance, and can
offer a very pretty long juicy cherry finish.

Producers notes
Founded in 1825, Bourgognes Faiveley has been handed down from father to son for over 175 years. As the sixth generation to take the reins, François Faiveley manages, with equal amounts passion and competence, the largest family domaine in Burgundy. Methodically reconstructing vineyards fractured by French inheritance laws, Bourgognes Faiveley today owns more appellations in their entirety (monopoles) than any other domaine in Burgundy.
