Tasting notes
Sporting a bright ruby/purple hue, the 2023 Château Mazeyres has a floral perfume of red and blue fruits, ginger, minty herbs, and exotic flowers. Based on 88% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot and brought up in a mix of barrels, foudre, concrete, and amphora, it's medium-bodied, fresh, focused, and pretty on the palate, with juicy acidity, fine tannins, and a good finish. Drink this solid Pomerol over the coming 10-15 years. Drink 2026-2041.

The 2023 Mazeyres is intriguing but also a bit eccentric because of the elevated presence of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, both of which add a strong savory/spiced imprint that is unusual for Pomerol. There's a lot to like in this distinctive 2023.
The 2023 Mazeyres is missing a little presence and depth on the nose, quite "airy" in style with blackberry and smoky scents. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly disjointed, angular tannins, and there is an element of greenness that crops up on the finish. This showed far better from barrel, so I wonder what happened?
Plums, berries, roasted spices, wet leaves and a lactic undertone on the nose. Juicy and fluid, with a medium body and a firm finish. 88% merlot, 10% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot. From biodynamically grown grapes. Try from 2027.
