2021 Domaine Faiveley Gevrey Chambertin Premier Cru 'Les Cazetiers'

92 POINTS

Neal Martin - Vinous

The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru showed better in bottle than from barrel. It has a bright and pretty nose with brambly red fruit, crushed stone and light rose petal scents that are initially attractive, though with aeration it seems to lose some of its detail and mineralité . The palate is medium-bodied with a sapid entry, gentle grip and well balanced with a cohesive, very sapid saline finish that beckons you back. Not a crowd pleaser and it needs time, but I can see the potential here. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru is a well-defined but less harmonious bouquet than the Lavaux, brambly red fruit, autumn leaves and light black pepper scents. It has a persuasive airiness about it. The palate is well balanced with sour cherry on the entry, brittle tannins, attenuating a little towards the finish where it just lacks the flesh of the Lavaux. Points: 89-91
