Why this wine
Mazis sits directly alongside Chambertin itself and is widely held to be the closest in character to it, at a fraction of the price. Powerful and firmly structured, needing years. The value argument in Grand Cru Burgundy usually starts here.
Our advantages:
Description
How it tastes
Violet, vanilla and black cherry with exceptional charm, then delicate toast beneath pure fruit and rich, dense tannin through a long finish. Pinot Noir, fermented with wild yeasts from the skins.
The producer
Mazis-Chambertin is one of nine Grands Crus in Gevrey-Chambertin, on a gentle east-facing slope adjoining Chambertin itself. The Naigeon family have been in the village more than 150 years and began making wine in 1890.
Food and drinking
Good with poultry & pork, risotto and cheese. Built for the long term — decades, if kept well. Serve at 15–16°C; decant 1–2 hours in youth to open aromatics and refine texture.
