Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 27 Apr 18
The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers displays a touch of reduction upon opening, which dissipates with air, segueing into aromas of raw cocoa, black cherry, cassis, and an exotic floral top note of lavender. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with a velvety chassis of fine-grained tannins, an ample core of fruit and a persuasive sense of completeness. Its acids are succulent and its finish long. An excellent rendition of Faiveley's Cazetiers.

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Nov 18
The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru offers broody red and black fruit on the nose, along with undergrowth and mulch-like scents that suggest some stem addition. The palate is medium-bodied, offering supple raspberry and blackberry flavors laced with graphite and a hint of white pepper. It remains steely and focused for the first two-thirds; on the final third it threatens to fan out, then disappears rapidly, leaving you wondering what the hell happened. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

Pretty damned fine! Like the structure and density with the zesty layers. (JR)
