The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers was not touched by the frost according to Bruno. I could not quite get to grips with the somewhat earthy nose, just missing the brightness that I was expecting. Maybe some reduction? The palate is intense and tensile with fine-grain tannin, plenty of zinging red berry fruit and a spicy, assertive finish that is brimming full of energy. It will need five or six years in bottle but despite the reduction I can see the potential here.

Varietal Pinot Noir

Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world's most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means 'black pine' in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.

The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru offers pastille-like raspberry and cranberry fruit on the nose, touches of mulch and oyster shell. Altogether it forms an engaging bouquet that keeps the nose in glass. The palate is framed by fine boned tannin, the acidity nicely judged. There is some vanillary new oak to be subsumed on the finish, it will ultimately turn into a gorgeous and seductive Cazetiers. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.

Slightly more generous though not intrusive wood frames the overtly sauvage-inflected aromas of spiced red and dark currant that reflect plenty of earth and humus. The muscular big-bodied flavors flash the hallmark minerality while delivering outstanding persistence on the even firmer finish that leaves zero doubt that this is built for long-term cellaring. Patience.

The Cazetiers is one of the highlights of the Bruno Clair range this year, opening in the glass with an incipiently complex bouquet of cocoa, roast espresso, grilled meat and wild, sapid black fruits. On the palate the wine is rich and full-bodied, its ample chassis of tannins nicely enrobed in a sweet core of fruit. This was awaiting racking when I tasted it, and is likely to be even more giving and harmonious by the time it’s bottled. Drinking Window 2026 - 2045.
