According to Frederic Magnien, the 2012 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru les Cazetiers went through a later malolactic than his other 2012s. The nose is controlled and focused with minerally red berry fruit, crushed roses and a pinch of sea salt. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp taut tannins, plenty of freshness and a joyful, citris, orange zest tinged finish that is pleasantly long. This might well be Frederic's best 2012.
