RATINGS

92-94Burghound.com

...full and moderately wooded full-bodied flavors that are notably powerful and supported by very firm tannins on the serious, long and backward finish.

91+ Stephen Tanzer

Quite closed on the nose, hinting at smoked meat and botanical herbs; smells drier than the Latricieres. Then wild on the palate but less expressive, with some cherry and raspberry perfume emerging with aeration.

17.5Jancis Robinson

Nervy nose. Satin texture - very polished. Bitter plums on the finish. Definite bitters but a racy wine with some real breeding. Very juicy.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits-Villages, Gevrey-Chambertin, Mazis-Chambertin

Mazis-Chambertin is a 22.4 acre Grand Cru vineyard near the village of Gevrey-Chambertin. The name Mazis is sometimes spelled with a “y” or without the final “s.” The soil is shallow and somewhat rocky, and the wine made from this vineyard is considered excellent. The legendary Lalou Bize of Maison Leroy is one of the smaller landholders with about .6 of an acre. There are some 30 proprietors with parcels in Mazis-Chambertin. The largest are Hospices de Beaune, with 4.38 acres; Bernard Dugat-Py, with 3.05 acres; and Joseph Faiveley, with 3 acres.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
