Goedhuis, December 2019
The name Cazetiers derives from the Latin meaning fortified place and this is one of Gevrey’s most esteemed premiers crus. A superb cuvée, with notes of autumnal fruits and confiture. This has a huge volume of rich textured fruit and a subtle line of saline acidity. A very controlled wine, with depth and length.

Burghound, January 20020, Score: 89-91
There is enough reduction to suppress the fruit though earth and sauvage elements are discernible. Otherwise there is very good detail and power to the slightly less concentrated if still well-muscled flavors that are also markedly firm and very serious, indeed this should age for an especially long time.

Jasper Morris MW, January 2020, Score: 92-95
Purple colour of medium plus intensity. The nose is more balanced and the fruit on the palate exquisite, opening out towards some fresh plums and raspberries. The tannins are present but nicely balanced by the fruit and there is an exquisite aftertaste. As always, a firm finish that requires time and will amply repay the keeping. Lovely pure raspberry fruited aftertaste.

The Sérafin family are part of the establishment in Gevrey Chambertin. From when he took over from his father in the 1960 until his recent retirement, if you ever want to get in touch with Christian, you either had to call him as the rooster crowed in the morning or long after the sun had set. The rest of the time, he was working out in the vines or deep in his cellars. The domaine is now run by cousins Frédérique and Karin...Read more
The Sérafin family are part of the establishment in Gevrey Chambertin. From when he took over from his father in the 1960 until his recent retirement, if you ever want to get in touch with Christian, you either had to call him as the rooster crowed in the morning or long after the sun had set. The rest of the time, he was working out in the vines or deep in his cellars. The domaine is now run by cousins Frédérique and Karine who are continuing the family tradition of making bold and structured wines. Their Pinots benefit from a period of bottle age and typically express fine tertiary characteristics. They do not fine or filter their wines, and only rack when necessary. Not shy of new oak, they use up to 50% on their straight Bourgogne and often 100% on the rest of their cuvées depending on the concentration. The wines tend to be ample and fleshy, and the richest ones need some cellaring in order to better integrate the spicy, cedarwood flavours.Read less
Region
Gevrey Chambertin
The greatest village in terms of notable grand cru vineyards, Gevrey Chambertin has no less than 9 of them including its most famous Chambertin and Chambertin Clos de Bèze, and includes a premier cru vineyard that many people deem grand cru in quality - Clos St. Jacques. It encompasses approximately 400 hectares under vine also making it the largest top quality vineyard area in the Côte de Nuits. Gevrey-Chambertin has many followers who seek out its deeply coloured, robust and textured wines. They are often firmer than the neighbouring appellations of Chambolle Musigny and Vosne Romanée and can take several years to soften once released. Due to its size and reputation, the list of excellent producers is noteworthy and many are worth seeking out.
