RATINGS

94-96The Wine Advocate

It has an attractive, slightly more exotic bouquet than the premier crus with black plum, briary, orange pith and a touch of brine, all very well defined...palate is very well balanced with supple tannin, finely pitched acidity with a caressing finish that gently fans out in nonchalant fashion.

92-94Vinous / IWC

Bright, dark red with ruby tones. Vibrant aromas of black cherry and licorice are accented by a stony nuance... Finishes with building tannins.

17.5Jancis Robinson

Masses of impact and drama and then tension on the end. Rich but far from fat or heaviness. Still a little oak signature but not dominant. Very clean and fresh.

REGION

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

Mazoyeres-Chambertin is a small part of the Grand Cru vineyard Charmes-Chambertin. Mazoyeres runs adjacent to the road, one of only two Grand Crus in Burgundy to abut a major thoroughfare. Most of the growers with parcels in Mazoyeres also have parcels in Charmes-Chambertin, and for historical reasons they are legally allowed to use the name Charmes-Chambertin for the wines they produce in Mazoyeres. Many do so since Charmes-Chambertin is better known and widely admired. Still, several producers do sell their wines under the Mazoyeres name. They include Domaine Camus and Domaine Richard.

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.
