Tasting notes
The 2020 Charmes-Chambertin les Mazoyères Grand Cru has a slightly earthy, quintessentially Mazoyères bouquet: dark berry fruit, undergrowth and just a touch of black olive. I appreciate the precision. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins, a little stern yet well-balanced. Sapid in style, it has a gentle grip. Perhaps all it is missing is persistence on the finish. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2020 Charmes-Chambertin les Mazoyères Grand Cru escaped any frost and did not require sorting. Containing 100% whole bunch, it has a taut and fresh bouquet with raspberry, blackcberry and wild hedgerow aromas, a touch of pencil lead coming through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, good grip, a Charmes-Chambertin with firm grip on the saline finish. Maybe I am seeking a bit more "charm" although that may develop with time.
