Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 13 Feb 20
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers has turned out very well. Unwinding in the glass with notes of rose petals, peonies, red berries, orange rind and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, with fine concentration and lively acids. Magnien produced 25 barrels out of the maximum of 32 authorized from his 1.47-hectare parcel.

The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru is more marked by the warm summer than I would like. Mulberry, damson and crushed iris flower burst on the nose, gaining delineation with aeration. The palate is rounded and lush, the cooler mesoclimate imbuing more acidity and raciness than it otherwise might have had, with a sweet and just slightly confit-like finish. I would afford the 2018 another two or three years in bottle.

Bottled. 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. (JH)
