2016 Michel Magnien Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'Les Cazetiers' Cote de Nuits

Winemaker Notes:  Cazetiers shows red- and black-fruit aromas on the nose with layers of flowers, earth, and minerals. The wine shows firm tannins with medium weight and rich fruit flavors on the palate thanks to old vines, the oldest of which are 90-years-old. It is structured, long, and complex. The wine is a pure expression of its terroir thanks to its élevage in a combination of used oak and clay jars.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Burghound - "A ripe, fresh and well-layered nose combines notes of red and black currant, plum and ample amounts of the sauvage and humus characters. The supple yet well-detailed medium weight plus flavors possess a sleek and muscular mouthfeel while delivering excellent minerality on the delicious if again not particularly complex finish. (90-92 points)"
