2020 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers

Tasting notes:

One of the rare 1er Cru which was not reclassified as Grand Cru in the 1930s. The soils are characterised by marl and calcareous on the top of the slope and deep clay at the bottom and the parcel benefits form maximum sunshine with a south east exposure. Aged in oak barrel for 12 months. Complex and intense with aromas of red berry alongside notes of roasted coffee. Generous with fine tannins and a silky texture. A powerful Gevrey.
