Domaine Faiveley – Les Cazetiers 2018 – Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru

The nose is elegant, beautifully racy and offers a certain intensity, a small power and a beautiful aromatic purity of the fruit. It reveals notes of ripe cherry, crushed redcurrant, small notes of pulpy blackberry, toasted oak associated with small touches of cuben pepper, lilac/lily as well as a subtle hint of strawberry flowers/strawberry, dry almond, spices, a discreet hint of cinnamon and an imperceptible hint of brioche (in the background). The palate is fruity, well-balanced, beautifully precise/square and offers juiciness, minerality, freshness as well as tension (full of elegance), straightness, roundness and concentration (full of control). On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy wild cassis, violet plum, small notes of raspberry associated with touches of toasted bread, toasted oak, nutmeg, almond as well as discreet hints of vanilla and sweet spices. Tannins are fine, precise and straight. A wine full of straightness, elegance and finesse.
