45% whole bunch vinification, 7 new out of 9 barrels. A fine red to crimson colour. The nose is less flamboyant than the Mazoyères yet with serious intent. This is solid with an iron rich blood orange tang, then a dark strawberry fruit behind, a firmer backbone – showing clearly how well this wine will age. A magical Mazis-Chambertin with excellent length. Drink from 2032-2045. Tasted Dec 2023.

The 2022 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru contains 45% whole bunches, more than they have used previously. That comes through quite strongly on the nose, possibly obscuring some of the terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins. Finely balanced and harmonious, this has a little more depth than the Mazoyères but shares the same elegance and refinement. I can see this aging over many years. Superb.

An exuberantly spicy nose offers better layering with its array of red and dark berries, forest floor, smoked meat and suggestions of the sauvage. Once again the mid-palate impression of the larger-scaled flavors is quite supple yet equally deceptive as the youthfully austere and mineral-driven finish is firm, serious and compact. I very much like the excellent persistence and this balanced effort should age effortlessly.
