Tasting Notes

Smells a little sweeter-fruited than the Gevrey Estournelles St-Jacques. Even a hint of something floral/leafy though it is fully ripe. Firm but juicy without quite the intensity of the Estournelles St-Jacques. Smoother and softer overall.

Score: 16+

Ripe and fresh liqueur-like aromas speak of plum, black cherry, the sauvage and a hint of mentholated cherry cough. The seductively textured but impressively powerful larger-scaled flavors coat the palate with sappy dry extract that also serves to buffer the very firmly structured and balanced finish. This is muscular and serious and will require patience if you wish to see it at its peak. Outstanding

Score: 90 - 93

The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru comes from 1.47 hectares that cover the four soil types within the vineyard; Magnien informed me that he is the only grower who has all four. The vines are Pinot Magnien and some are up to 100 years old. A gorgeous bouquet of pure black cherries, blueberry and light violet aromas bursts from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity, and lightly spiced, leading into a harmonious, persistent, mineral-driven finish. This should evolve into a gorgeous Les Cazetiers.

Score: 93 - 95
