Faiveley Gevrey-Chambertin 1er cru Cazetiers 2017

92-96 points Fine Wine Review: "Faiveley purchased Dupont-Tisserandot back in 2013; the original Faiveley and the Dupont-Tisserandot plots are blended in this wine. The nose is floral. Spicy blackberry fruit in mouth with finesse, subtlety, and elegance. The wine is medium-light on the palate and juicy. Good length. One can drink this wine young, but it has the balance for good aging. A complete wine. (3/3/19)"

92-95 points Jasper Morris, MW: "Since the takeover of Domaine Dupont-Tisserandot, Faiveley now have 4ha of Cazetiers spread across numerous plots. Rich dense purple with a heady nose of riper fruit including some black notes. Juicy dark raspberry notes, well spread across the palate, a few minerals at the back. Love the aftertaste. (Jan 2019)"

94 points Neil Beckett (The World of Fine Wine): "This flagship permier cru is better than ever since the substantial Faiveley holding was supplemented with that of the Dupont-Tisserandot family, the blend of older and younger vines being mutually enhancing. Already an exquisite fragrance, with the most captivating old tea-rose scent. Expansive on the palate, reaching impressive volume, but without any loss of silkiness or tension, the graceful acidity ensuring pin-point precision. (Issue 63; 2019)"

91-94 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a huge 3.96 ha parcel). Here the wood regimen is no longer subtle though it stops short of masking the beautifully layered aromas of plum, spice, dark currant and freshly turned earth. The highly energetic and delineated middle weight plus flavors exude noticeable minerality on the powerful and focused finish that displays outstanding depth and persistence. Moreover, the finish really fans out as it sits on the palate. 2029+. (Jan 2019)"

91-93 points Steen Öhman (Winehog): "Les Cazetieres is sweeter and more lush it seems. The bouquet offer plenty of fruit – fresh berries – lovely perfume – with that nice Cazetieres minerality. On the palate vivid fruit with a fine balance – lovely drinkability .. classic 2017. Drink from 2027. Tasted from cask: 14/11/2018. (12/27/18)"

92 points Meal Martin (Vinous): "The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru is very perfumed on the nose, offering confit-like red berry fruit, blood orange and raspberry jam. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine delineation, nice poise and a grippy finish. There’s nice sapidity here, and the constituent parts are all in pace – they just need time to knit together. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting. Drink: 2025-2045. (Jan 2022)"
