2019 Mazeyres

A beautiful, complex, elegant Pomerol, the 2019 Château Mazeyres has lots of black raspberry, ripe cherry, spring flower, and leafy herb notes in its medium-bodied, seamless, nicely balanced profile. It's going to shine for 15 years or so.

The 2019 Mazeyres has a really lovely, understated bouquet for the vintage, blackberry, warm gravel and light loamy scents gradually unfurling. The palate is medium-bodied and fresh on the entry, with fine-grained tannins, well-judged acidity, and discreet hints of truffle and dark chocolate lending complexity on the finish. This is a classy, very appealing Pomerol that will give 15–20 years of pleasure.

The 2019 Mazeyres is bright, effusive and so inviting. Blood orange, mint, rose petal, white pepper, espresso and incense are some of the many notes that soar from the glass. Mazeyres is not a big or obvious wine. Instead, it is a Pomerol that is all about understatement and class. As always, the Cabernet Franc is a strong marker.
