Tasting Notes
Faiveley’s Mazis-Chambertin comes from two separate parcels, one at the top (Mazis Haut) and one at the bottom of this Grand Cru site (Mazis Bas). Assembled together, it beautifully combines the site’s best traits – earthy minerality and muscular power. The 2022 was quite closed when we tasted it, not revealing much on the nose, however the wine’s quality shone on the palate, full of seamlessly ripe, sweet red berry fruit. Packed with cherry and strawberry, this is intense, tightly wound at this point, the fruit lifted by zesty acidity and firm yet velveteen tannins. Mouth-wateringly fresh, it builds to a moreish and nutty finish.

The 2022 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is missing the same cohesion and presence as the Latricières at the moment, though it has an attractive rose bush/potpourri scent that emerges with time. The medium-bodied palate has a tad more angularity than the Latricières and fine mineralité, edgy and linear with a strict, tensile, lightly spiced finish. What you might term a "grower, aloof, but the sapidity draws you back. Excellent.
Mid crimson with some depth. Dark raspberry, a little soupy at the moment but with good depth behind. The fruit covers the structure, as the tannins are fairly firm. The raspberries freshen up, gain in precision compared to the first mouthful. Not perhaps showing at its best on the day – there may well be more too this. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted: October 2023.
Almost perfect red cherry nose! Ripe, densely concentrated and tightly wound. Staggering intensity and brilliance at the almost endless finish. What amazing finesse! Can't wait to taste this from bottle!
