RATINGS

95-97Vinous / IWC

...very marine-influenced bouquet with hints of black olive infusing the red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin, concentrated with pure redcurrant and wild strawberry fruit with fine mineralité towards the finish.

92-94Burghound.com

...the nose is attractively perfumed with its array of various red berries, anise, spice, violet and sauvage whiffs. The supple, delicious and mouth coating big-bodied flavors contrast with the markedly tannic and muscular finish that flashes focused power and excellent persistence.

16.5+ Jancis Robinson

Fairly simple, sweet, flattering nose. Dry finish...with good grip.

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.
