FAIVELEY GEVREY CAZETIERES 2020 1ER

Style : Savoury & Detailed

Domaine Faiveley is one of the biggest domaines (115ha) in Burgundy and, many would argue, one of the best. 

The change of generation, enhanced by the arrival of Bernard Hervet as Managing Director, is clear warning of the intention to dynamise the business. The most obvious change though is in the barrel cellar where the previous supplier has been dropped and replaced with Francois Frères, Taransaud and three other coopers. Old style Faiveley wines could be massively tannic at the expense of the fruit. From 2007 the wines are much fresher and fruitier, yet still with real intensity.  Many of Faiveley's top wines are hand bottled with no filtration. This in turn results in clean, opulent wines that often show Pinot Noir at its best. Their concentration and richness are rarely equalled. JASPER MORRIS MW

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers is brilliant, unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, plums, dark chocolate, spices and vanilla pod. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it¿s elegantly muscular, with a deep and multidimensional core and a long, expansive finish. It¿s worth a special effort to seek out. 95 William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
