Domaine Faiveley's Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers comes from one of the village's most distinguished vineyards, neighbouring Clos Saint-Jacques on the mid-slope. The limestone and marl soils here give wines of clarity and drive, hallmarks of Faiveley's precise and consistent style.

Under the direction of Erwan Faiveley and technical director Jérôme Flous, the fruit is hand-harvested and fermented in open wooden vats, with a proportion of whole bunches. The wine then matures for around 14 to 16 months in oak barrels, about one-third new, in the family's cellars in Nuits-Saint-Georges.

The result is a wine of depth and balance, showing aromas of red and black cherry, earth and spice. The palate is focused and long, with fine tannins and a structure built for ageing. Les Cazetiers captures the character of Gevrey and the discipline that defines Faiveley.
