Domaine Faiveley
Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru Les Cazetiers
The term “Cazetier” originates from “Castel”, the parcel situated just above the Château de Gevrey. It is one of the rare “Têtes de Cuvée” to not have been reclassified as a Grand Cru in the 1930s. Along with “Lavaux-Saint-Jacques” and “Clos Saint-Jacques”, this climat is considered to be one of the best Premiers Crus in Gevrey. The Domaine has owned half of the appellation since 2013.
This 4.06-hectare plot, planted in 1955, 1975, 1989, 1999, 2005, on chalky soils with white marl sedimentary deposits, with a southeast exposure, and is cultivated using organic farming practices.

Deep ruby red hue with an intense and complex nose characterized by red fruits, toast, and subtle roasted notes. The palate is rich and round with a firm structure and direct tannins. This remarkably powerful wine offers a silky mouth-feel and exceptional length.

"Black cherry, blackberry, vanilla, sandalwood and iron aromas and flavors highlight this intense, fluid red. Rich and balanced, with a solid structure and long, spice- and mineral-tinged aftertaste."
— Bruce Sanderson, 2024
