Drouhin/Joseph Gevrey-Chambertin 1er cru Cazetiers 2014

93 points/'Sweet spot/Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from purchased fruit and vinified by Drouhin). An intensely earthy and sauvage dominated nose combines notes of both red and dark berries along with floral hints. There is a seductive, even velvety mouth feel to the very rich, round and delicious middle weight flavors that are underpinned by dusty tannins on the well-balanced and persistent finish that displays less austerity than usual. This mineral-driven effort should also be approachable on the younger side but don't let the velvety mid-palate fool you as this is clearly built to reward medium to even longer-term cellaring. Drink: 2024+. (Apr 2016)"

92+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "Like the Chambolle 'Baudes', the 2014 Cazetiers was bottled in mid-August of 2015 and was still a bit grumpy after the mise. The wine needed a bit of coaxing in the glass, but eventually blossomed to show notes of red and black cherries, dark soil tones, espresso, gamebird, woodsmoke and a nice base of cedary wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and quite precise on the attack, with a good core, fine-grained tannins and a long, tangy finish. A fine example. 2024-2060. (Nov/Dec 2015)"
