Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jan 19
The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru comprises of just a single barrel this year, 100% whole bunches. It has a tightly-wound but very well defined bouquet, quite mineral-driven and poised, the fruit a little darker than its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with superb tension. This brims over with energy with veins of orange zest and quince towards the vivacious and quite persistent finish. Good luck trying to find this cuvée from Pierre Duroché.
