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.
Plot: 4.06 ha. It stretches over two distinct terroirs. At higher altitudes, marl and limestone impart finesse and minerality. In the lower part of the plot, deeper clay soils confer power and richness to the wine. This southeast-facing plot benefits from optimum sunshine. It produces a rich, generous wine with similar aromatic notes as Chambertin.

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.

"Bright, fluid and bursting with cherry, raspberry, floral, mineral and oak spice aromas and flavors, this red draws you in with its silky texture before the well-integrated structure announces itself on the finish. This is balanced and long, all the while displaying a sense of elegance."
— Bruce Sanderson, 2025
