Faiveley Gevrey Chambertin les Cazetiers 1er Cru 2015 (750ML)

95 WS / 92 DE / 92-95 BH / 92-95 VM

Very ripe and generous nose, with cherry and raspberry coulis aromas. Sleek attack, velvety mouthfeel and concentrated, stylish fruit with fine-grained tannins providing the backbone. Fresh and crunchy on the long finish. This has charm and vigour. Drinking Window 2018 - 2030. - Decanter

Blackberry and cherry, violet, mint and spice aromas and flavors signal this polished, velvety red, with dense, assertive tannins and a finish that evokes a stony, chalky impression. Best from 2021 through 2040. 222 cases imported. - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator

Tasting note: Deeply pitched aromas of newly turned earth and animale notes characterize the brooding but notably ripe spiced plum and red berry fruit nose. The rich, full-bodied and tautly muscled flavors exhibit buckets of sappy dry extract that all but disguises the firm tannic spine on the immensely long and explosive finish. Cazetiers doesn't get a whole lot better than this. Allean Meadows - Burghound Sweetspot - Outstanding

Bright red-ruby. Ripe, wonderfully complex scents of redcurrant, plum, dark cherry, animal fur, minerals and sexy oak, plus suggestions of darker berries. Round, silky and sweet, with its full ripeness leavened by saline, soil-driven minerality. A crunchy raspberry element is nicely shaped on the finish by suave tannins. The longest of these 2015s to this point in my tasting, this wine boasts grand cru volume. Its impression of rising length reminded me a bit of the superb Chambolle-Musigny Les Fuées.
