Tasting notes
Good dark red. Brooding aromas of black cherry, coffee, leather and game. Slightly reduced and extremely backward, in a cooler, somewhat medicinal style. The rather sullen blackberry, black cherry and menthol flavors don't quite come alive today. Finishes with very good length but I find this a bit dry and tough at present, in need of more sweetness.

The 2014 Mazis Chambertin Grand Cru has a very seductive bouquet with plush redcurrant and wild strawberry scents, briary and undergrowth developing with aeration. The palate is grippy on the entry with firm, slightly grainy tannin. There is something just a little disjointed on the finish...perhaps a few underripe berries that I could not discern on Jadot's other Gevrey grand crus. Let's see how it develops in bottle.
About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
