Winemaker:Domaine Faiveley
Les Cazetiers is a perfectly positioned Premier Cru, facing east-south. It adjoins the equally iconic Clos Saint-Jacques, and both dominate the greatest Gevrey-Chambertin hillside to have just missed out on classification as Grand Cru. In colour, this is medium ruby-garnet, the nose being super-ripe, open and fragrant. This is a richly structured, robust wine, with freshness, poise, and an elegant finish – outstanding to drink now (for drinking 2023-2030+).

Winemaker
Domaine Faiveley
Our shipments from this superb source of great Burgundies date back over 30 years, to the 1989 vintage. This is very much a family business, with François Faiveley’s children, Erwan and Eve, now at the helm. Winemaker Jérôme Flous and his assistant Bastien Giraud are highly talented, and operate within a rebuilt, spacious, state-of-the-art winery in Nuits-Saint-Georges. The superb 125 hectare Domaine includes 13 different Grands Crus and 25 Premiers Crus. Since the 2007 vintage, many carefully thought-through changes have taken place, with work in vineyards and wine-making becoming more closely integrated. They invested in gentler means of transporting grapes from sorting tables to vats, up-graded their temperature control systems, installed a new hydraulic press, and fine-tuned the barrel buying – all to great effect. Jérôme Flous has been here for more than a decade, having previously worked as technical consultant for many top Domaines. The wines have been gaining in richness, fruit density, complexity and smoothness, without sacrifice of ageing potential.
