Descrizione
Les Cazetiers is next to the Clos Saint-Jacques. Our plot is located in the upper part of the “climat” and is characterized by extremely poor, marly soil and limestone deposits. Three different dates of plantation; a third planted in 1958, another third in 1972 and the rest in 1996. The combination of the type of soil and and the quality of the vines produce low yields and grapes that are “millerandés” (partial crop failure) in the majority of the harvest.
The wine is characterized by very low acidity amply compensated by complex tannins of a surprising richness. The comparison of organoleptic qualities between our Clos Saint-Jacques and our Cazetiers shows in every vintage a very clear difference between the wines: le Cazetiers being more accessible in youth on the aromatic level and by the unique silkiness of the tannins as opposed to the Clos Saint-Jacques which is more reserved in the first years. A good example of the incredible variety of the terroirs and “climates” of the Côte is that these two wines result from vines being about the same age, from the same “massale” selection, having similar maturity and vinified in the same fermenting room, according to the same philosophy
