Estimated full landed price – $205.97

This is Charles Magnien’s largest Premier Cru holding, and the wine with which he most closely identifies – his parents’ home is exactly at the foot of these vines. It is the most northerly of the three Côte Saint Jacques vineyards owned by the estate. They own plots on all four of the different soil types which are to be found here, from bottom to top, where the trees begin. Colour is rich, purple-ruby, aromas are gloriously fragrant and open. This is a dramatically characterful wine, with fleshy texture, rich body and superb, vivacious aftertaste (for drinking 2028-2040+).

The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru has an expressive bouquet with pure red cherry, raspberry and strawberry fruit tones bounding from the glass with nascent energy. The oak is neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. It has more depth than the Lavaux—a little broader in the mouth. This is very harmonious toward the finish with greater backbone. It's excellent.
94 Neal Martin, Vinous.

Subtle wood influence can be found on the spicy and ripe aromas of poached plum and floral nuances, especially violet. The sleek, delineated and powerful flavours are a mix of the refinement and minerality of the Estournelles St. Jacques with the power and muscle of the Lavaux St. Jacques, all wrapped in a more complex, longer and more structured finale. This is excellent and warmly recommended. OUTSTANDING.
