Domaine Faiveley Gevrey-Chambertin 1er cru Cazetiers 2023
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 1930s. 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.

94-96 points/'5 Star Wine,' Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "One of the darker and more concentrated colours. Impressive density too on the nose. This has moved across to the raspberry side, impeccable density, with refreshing minerals to finish. Picked ripe but at the right time. Serious crop thinning here has paid off. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted Nov 2024."

94-96 points Fine Wine Review: "Touch of musk, animal in nose that is typical of Cazetiers. Dense, but light on palate, dark fruits, very Cazetiers. Grand cru quality here. (2/26/25)"

93-95 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers is a beauty, bursting with notes of cherries, raspberries, rose petals and incense. Medium to full-bodied, pure and polished, with an ample core of fruit, lively acids and a saline finish, it's especially perfumed and sensual this year. (1/30/25)"

94 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$250 list] Bright, fluid and bursting with cherry, raspberry, floral, mineral and oak spice aromas and flavors, this red draws you in with its silky texture before the well-integrated structure announces itself on the finish. This is balanced and long, all the while displaying a sense of elegance. Best from 2028 through 2042. 530 cases made, 106 cases imported. (9/17/25)"

92-94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru has an understated, tertiary nose with a touch of smoke filtering through the dark berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with finely chiseled tannins and a keen line of acidity. It's taut and fresh with plenty of mineralité and tension on the finish. This is a very competent and quite delicious Cazetiers. Drink: 2027-2048. (Jan 2025)"
