Tasting notes
Beautiful rich dark ruby red, aromatic with crunchy red fruit, ripe dark cherry, plum that carries through to the palate adding weight and richness to the bright acidity that runs through the back bone. Precise, poised and full of energy. Quite excellent indeed.

The 2015 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru has a more complex, you could say more enigmatic bouquet than the Charmes-Chambertin, darker fruit with touches of seaweed and iodine, with aeration more floral scents such as crushed violet. It feels mercurial in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a touch of dried fig and Asian spice infusing the red berry fruit. What I appreciate is the structure and especially the precision towards the finish. This is classy.
About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
