Domaine Bruno Clair Chambertin 1er Cru Cazetiers 2020

Les Cazetiers is close to the Clos Saint-Jacques. The soil is characterised by extremely poor, marly soil and limestone deposits. Three different planting dates; one third planted in 1958, another third in 1972 and the rest in 1996. The combination of soil type and vine quality produces low yields and 'millerandes' grapes. The wine is characterised by a very low acidity that is amply compensated by complex tannins of surprising richness. Comparison of the organoleptic qualities between our Clos Saint-Jacques and our Cazetiers shows a clear difference between the wines in each vintage: the Cazetiers are more accessible in their youth on an aromatic level and with the unique silkiness of the tannins compared to the Clos Saint-Jacques, which is more reserved in the early years. A good example of the incredible variety of terroirs and 'climates' in the Côte is that these two wines come from vines of more or less the same age, from the same 'massal' selection, with similar maturity and vinified in the same fermentation room, according to the same philosophy.
