Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. Faiveley’s Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 2011 has a detailed nose, but the main problem is that it is distinctly lacking vigor and there is a touch of under-ripeness. The palate is a little hard on the entry, quite tough and masculine at the moment with dry, austere tannin on the finish. It feels a little dumb at the moment, though it may improve in bottle.
