Vinous Neal Martin - 22 Nov 22
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru has a restrained bouquet with cranberry, raspberry and wild strawberry fruit. Just a touch of reduction hems everything in at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. Lovely balance and purity, fine backbone, quite chalky in texture towards the finish - this is a great Gevrey Premier Cru. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.
