Faiveley Gevrey Chambertin 'Les Cazetiers' Premier Cru 2013

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 than any other domaine in Burgundy.

92 Points - Wine Spectator

Elegant and firmly structured, boasting cherry, currant and floral flavors, with spice and licorice hints. Finishes with a juicy blast of fruit and spice. Best from 2017 through 2025. 

92 Points - James Suckling

This has some concentration and ripeness with blueberry and blackberry. Full to medium body, firm tannins and a long finish. Extremely attractive. Drink or hold.

91 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers is darker in color than its peers and the aromatics are more broody: blackberry and dark plum, a little sullen in the context of the vintage. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, tightly coiled and like the aromatics, it feels a little contained and takes time to unfurl, though it does with several minutes in the glass.
