RATINGS

96Wine Spectator

Full-bodied, it tastes fresh and citrusy. Deftly dosed oak is almost imperceptible. Clean, pure and even a bit crisp on the finish.

90-92The Wine Advocate

It is fresh, chewy, thick, and offers candied red and blackberry flavors in its medium to full-bodied, and somewhat alcoholic personality.

90-92Vinous / IWC

Crystallized black raspberry, animal fur and coffee. ...notes of leather and minerals and a soupcon of cooked berries. Has a distinctly liquoreux aspect; just short of over the top. Finishes with a flavor of roast coffee.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, 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.
