Tasting notes
The 2018 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru comes from three parcels, the largest populated by 90-year-old vines and planted at high density. Raised in 75% new oak and 90% whole bunch, it has a stupendous, mineral-driven, intense bouquet of blackberry and blueberry fruit that delivers great clarity and panache. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, vibrant acidity, great intensity and a precise, sustained finish. It is very tightly coiled at present and as such, it will demand several years (at least) in bottle before it will even consider its drinking plateau.

Wild and carnal, the 2018 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru offers up an incipiently complex bouquet of cassis and cherries mingled with nuances of coniferous forest floor, smoked meats, violets and licorice. Full-bodied, multidimensional and searingly concentrated, it's layered and muscular, with a deep, textural, richly tannic profile that's already seamlessly integrated: the only missing ingredient is time.
