Tasting Notes
Vinous NR
The 2019 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is corked. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.
Robert Parker 94
Wild and brooding, Faiveley’s 2019 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru wafts from the glass with aromas of smoked meats, spices, wild berries and forest floor. Full-bodied, layered and sapid, it’s broad and muscular, with a deep core of fruit and youthfully chalky tannins. This is a serious Mazis built for the long haul.
Burghound 93-95
A slightly riper and exuberantly spicy nose is composed by notes of black cherry, dark raspberry, the sauvage and a whiff of earth. There is superb mid-palate density to the opulent yet serious big-bodied flavors that are shaped by a firm core of dense and very firm tannins on the hugely long yet impeccably well-balanced finish. This muscular effort is also going to need extended cellaring if you wish to see its full, and ample, potential realized.

Barrel sample. Solid and fresh even if without great depths of complexity. Dry finish. Much tighter than the Tawse example of this climat. But it may eventually unwind of course!
Anticipated maturity: 2027-2042
