Vintage Character The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers from Michel Magnien offers a compelling interpretation of this renowned Premier Cru site, combining vibrancy with refined structure. In Burgundy, the 2021 vintage was marked by a cool spring and challenging weather conditions, leading to reduced yields but yielding fruit of notable concentration and freshness.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded this wine 90+ points, recognizing its finesse and purity. On the nose, expressive aromas of wild cherry, ripe raspberry, and rose petal are layered with subtle forest floor and delicate spice. The palate is both silky and structured, featuring fine-grained tannins and lively acidity, while the finish lingers with mineral nuances and a touch of earthiness, reflecting the vineyard’s limestone-rich soils and elevated position. This wine is an excellent match for roast duck breast, mushroom risotto, or a creamy Brie cheese; for an Asian-inspired pairing, consider Peking duck, where the wine’s nuance complements the dish’s complexity.
