  August 22, 2023 - Gevrey doesn't get much better than this. Even in a site that is not truly Grand cru, in Rousseau's hands, this wine was ethereal. It had the muscle of the site, the richness of his deep, soil, hand, and an amazing array of complexity that emphasized dark red flowers, rich, dark, red cherry, and a hint of cranberry, and a bit of the briar tone appropriate for.Cazeteirs

  August 20, 2023 - Cork, barely stained.
  Bright, mid garnet. Complex aromas of red and blue berries, autumn leaves, florals, spice. It’s harmonious and balanced, and so pure. The intensity is almost delicate. Tannins are tucked in nicely. Drinks so well now.

  November 26, 2022 - Located just outside the walls of the illustrious Clos St. Jacques, Rousseau’s old-vine 2009 Cazetiers is fabulous tonight showing serious power, intensity and concentration, yet remaining impeccably balanced and detailed. It’s super expressive and aromatic with deep layers of ripe dark fruit, tea leaves, violets and exotic spice. The palate is pure silk with balanced acids, vibrant energy and a mineral laced finale that keeps on going. Just ~10 cases of Cazetiers are imported to the US per vintage. Special wines…

  July 9, 2022 - At Jean Imbert in the Plaza Athenee. The meal was outstanding, 3 star quality, and this wine didn't miss a beat. It was in a very old school burgundy style, elegant, not huge extract. Great nose, complex in mouth, long finish. Reminded me of a Truchot, which is high praise indeed in my book --similar style. I have had very few wines by Rousseau, but this was a real winner. It was young but very drinkable, should continue to improve in the bottle for many years.

  February 12, 2022 - 2009 Armand Rousseau Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru les Cazetiers
  
  You can definitely sense the warm vintage here with intense red fruit at the forefront with the spice and game elements taking the backseat. Very good wine, with great structure but since my first ever Rousseau was the Clos de Beze, it’s difficult to compare!
