Tasting notes
The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru is quite high-toned on the nose with just a bit more volatile acidity compared to its peers. It feels a little Grenache-like. The palate is well balanced with a supple opening, though a bit monotone and missing the amplitude of its peers. This is an easygoing 1er Cru that needs to muster more complexity and personality. The Domaine produced better wines in this vintage. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru has a not dissimilar nose to the Lavaux; it's a little more streamlined and focused, very pure and well-defined, with touches of damp moss and autumn leaves. The palate is medium-bodied with fine definition and is quite peppery, although, like all cuvées at Rousseau, this is fully-destemmed. Saline towards the finish, this is an elegant and refined Les Cazetiers.
