The Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru "Les Cazetiers" from Domaines Faiveley is a stunning specimen that reflects the high level of excellence and craftsmanship in Burgundy Pinot Noir winemaking. Located in the famous Gevrey-Chambertin area, the "Les Cazetiers" vineyard is recognized for its exceptional terroir, which combines limestone and clay soils, favoring the production of wines with remarkable structure, elegance and aging capacity.
Domaines Faiveley, one of the most prestigious and historically significant wineries in Burgundy, manages this vineyard with a deep dedication and respect for the territory, adopting sustainable practices that aim to enhance the uniqueness of the terroir and the expressive purity of Pinot Noir. Meticulous care in the vineyard and careful approach in the cellar are fundamental to Faiveley's production philosophy, ensuring that each bottle faithfully reflects the origin of the grapes.
The vinification of "Les Cazetiers" follows the principles of the Burgundian tradition, with delicate fermentation to preserve the distinctive aromas of the grape, followed by aging in French oak barriques. This aging process not only enriches the wine with complexity and aromatic nuances, but also integrates the tannins, making them softer and velvety.
Visually, the wine has an intense ruby red color, which can evolve towards garnet shades with maturation. The bouquet is rich and complex, offering a wide range of aromas ranging from ripe red fruits, such as cherry and blackberry, to floral and spicy notes, with a light touch of undergrowth and minerality, which testify to the influence of the terroir .
In the mouth, "Les Cazetiers" expresses remarkable depth and concentration, balanced by a lively acidity that gives freshness and long aging potential. The flavors are well layered, with a perfect harmony between fruit, earthy notes and a subtle mineral vein, culminating in a long and persistent finish, a hallmark of Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Crus.
This wine is particularly suitable for special occasions and pairs beautifully with refined dishes, such as red meats, mushroom dishes and medium-aged cheeses. With its "Les Cazetiers", Domaines Faiveley offers an emblematic expression of the greatness of the wines of Gevrey-Chambertin, a tribute to the richness of the terroir and the nobility of Pinot Noir.
