RATINGS

95Stephen Tanzer

Bright, dark red Wild, musky scents of raspberry, smoked meat, licorice, menthol and earth Dense, salty, powerful wine with no rough edges to its soil-driven raspberry, smoke and mineral flavors... Finishes with serious but utterly harmonious tannins and superb sneaky rising length...

92Wine Spectator

...glimpses of cherry, licorice, peppery greens, oak spice and tobacco.

A lightly dusty quality to the aroma here but not in a negative way. On the palate, ripe and rich in fruit, with real depth and persistence. Chewy and long.

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.
