Lightish crimson. Sweet with red fruit and a hint of vanilla sweetness, the sweetness balanced by a more savoury spice. A little more obviously oaky on the palate at this stage but there's a fine floral note too and refined tannin structure. More savoury finish. Already complex. (JH)
The 2017 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru has a rather backward and introverted bouquet offering boysenberry fruit and a touch of India ink. The palate is balanced with fine tannin and well-judged acidity. It just misses a degree of complexity and mineralité , making the finish pleasant but not memorable or profound.
About the producer
Situated in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, Domaine Tortochot may not carry the cachet of the very top domaines in the village, but it does offer some of the best value, producing wines with great terroir transparency in their top Premiers and Grands Crus, and fabulous village wines.
