Goedhuis Waddesdon, December 2024
Located on a steep slope of the Côte St Jacques, between 300m and 360m above sea level, this eastern-facing vineyard is considered amongst the elite of Gevrey Premiers Crus. Cazetiers is also a flagship for Faiveley, with the family owning just over half of the 8-hectare Premier Cru. As such, vines for this cuvée are planted on all four of the distinct geological bands that run through the vineyard and the resulting wine is a terrific expression of the overall terroir. The 2023 is currently a little shy on the nose, with savoury notes of wild herbs and restrained, red-toned fruit. The tightly wound palate, with its concentrated grenadine characters, energetic acidity and structured, muscular tannin, is certainly built for the long-term. A classy wine that will unfurl with as yet unseen complexity over years to come.
Region
Gevrey Chambertin
The greatest village in terms of notable grand cru vineyards, Gevrey Chambertin has no less than 9 of them including its most famous Chambertin and Chambertin Clos de Bèze, and includes a premier cru vineyard that many people deem grand cru in quality - Clos St. Jacques. It encompasses approximately 400 hectares under vine also making it the largest top quality vineyard area in the Côte de Nuits. Gevrey-Chambertin has many followers who seek out its deeply coloured, robust and textured wines. They are often firmer than the neighbouring appellations of Chambolle Musigny and Vosne Romanée and can take several years to soften once released. Due to its size and reputation, the list of excellent producers is noteworthy and many are worth seeking out.
