Faiveley Gevrey Chambertin 'Les Cazetiers' Premier Cru 2018
Deep ruby red hue with an intense and complex nose characterized by red fruits, toast and subtle roasted notes. The palate is rich and round with a firm structure and direct tannins. This remarkably powerful wine offers a silky mouthfeel and exceptional length. Serve with duck breast with blackcurrant, rabbit and prune stew. Cellaring Potential: 15 to 20 years.
94 Points - James Suckling
Tantalizing aromas of ripe strawberries, violets and cherries with some light bark. Medium-to full-bodied with firm, very silky tannins that are extremely polished and fine. Love the balance and focus to this. Try after 2022.
94 Points - Wine Spectator
Charming and classy, this red is lush and saturated with black cherry, blackberry, earth and a hint of tobacco flavours. It's balanced, turning firmer mid-palate, with powdery tannins lining the tangy finish. An accent of iron creeps in at the end. Best from 2024 through 2042.
94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Mingling aromas of sweet wild berries with rich bass notes of forest floor, spice and grilled squab, the 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers is medium to full-bodied, broad and concentrated, with rich structuring tannins, comparatively low acidity and a long, sapid finish.
