Critic Scores

93 // Tim Atkin MW

"Cazetiers was picked early in 2017 as it tends to be quite a ripe site. According to Cyrielle Rousseau, this sometimes shows some reduction in its youth, but that's not the case here. Rose petal and wild strawberry scents lead you into a palate that's spicy, supple and sweetly oaked. (TA)"

93 // Jasper Morris MW

"Crimson in colour with the first signs of evolution. Some elegance to the nose. Sweeter fruit than expected on the palate, with some weight, quite ripe, long with a fair amount of charm."

93 // Neal Martin

"The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru is already showing a little maturity on the rim, possibly due to assiduous stem addition. The nose is open-knit and soft with brambly red fruit, perhaps needing a bit more delineation. The palate is sweet and candied on the entry and quite fleshy in style, with moderate acidity and a dash of white pepper. Plenty of extraction here. This just needs to develop a tad more tension and terroir expression on the finish. Otherwise it displays immense breeding. (NM)"

93 // Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"One of the highlights of this year's portfolio chez Rousseau, the 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers wafts from the glass with a lovely bouquet of red cherries, berries and grilled meat that's complemented by top notes of peony, blood orange and cedary oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered with a deep core, beautifully refined tannins and a long, precise finish. Based on this barrel sample, this Cazetiers will surpass the domaine's Lavaux Saint-Jacques and several of its grands crus in depth, completeness and delineation. (William Kelley)"

92 // John Gilman

"The 2017 Cazetiers is another perfectly balanced, pure and sappy example of the vintage. The bouquet offers up a fine blend of red and black cherries, red plums, lovely spice tones, a touch of grilled meats, dark soil tones, mustard seed, vanillin oak and a pungent topnote of violets. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and complex, with a sappy core, a bit more early structure showing than the Lavaux, with ripe, suave tannins and lovely length and grip on the very well-balanced finish."
