The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers displays a touch of reduction upon opening, which dissipates with air, segueing into aromas of raw cocoa, black cherry, cassis, and an exotic floral top note of lavender. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with a velvety chassis of fine-grained tannins, an ample core of fruit and a persuasive sense of completeness. Its acids are succulent and its finish long. An excellent rendition of Faiveley's Cazetiers.

Bright, dark red. Deep, ripe, slightly reduced aromas of plum, redcurrant, licorice and animal fur. Firmer on entry than the Lavaux Saint-Jacques but still pliant, sweet, fine-grained and deep, showcasing the richness of the year. Concentrated, mouthfilling, utterly seamless wine with terrific saline extract. Finishes with plush, building, horizontal tannins and slowly rising length. Will this shut down in bottle? A step up in length from the Lavaux--and showing more medicinal reserve today.

This is very stretched and compressed in texture with polished tannins that pull the pretty fruit character through the wine with blueberry, cedar and light tobacco undertones. Long and pretty. Drink in 2020.
