The Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers (aged in 1 year old oak) reveals dark fruit and spices in the nose and an attractive, sweet, spicy, minerally and dark cherry-filled mouth. Silky with nice length, I recommend drinking this delicious wine between 1999-2006. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. The wine was tasted from cask, not bottle. Pinot Noir, a fragile varietal, reacts poorly to fining, filtration, and careless bottling techniques, I recommend caution when considering buying a red burgundy based on cask samples. I called it as I tasted it, and hope the bottled wine reflects the quality of the samples I was provided. Importer: Frederick Wildman, New York, NY; tel. (212) 355-0700
