The 1991 Gevrey-Chambertin-Les Cazetieres will certainly evolve into a good wine, but at present it is only slightly better than the village Gevrey. It is closed because of its high tannin and backward, almost impenetrable style. While there is underlying fat and good length, it is a hard, tough-styled 1991. My judgment may be conservative.
Rousseau, one of the reference points for great burgundy, appears to have made 1991s that are even richer and more profound than his 1990s. His production was one-half of normal, so these wines will be difficult to find. Rousseau normally excels with his three top cuvees - Gevrey-Chambertin-Clos St.-Jacques, Chambertin-Clos de Beze, and Chambertin, but the lower level wines often lack concentration and intensity. That is not the case in 1991. Kudos to Rousseau for producing his finest portfolio of wines in over two decades! Importer: Frederick Wildman & Co., New York, NY.
