Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Oct 19
The 2016 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru has a complex and higher toned bouquet compared to the Mazis-Chambertin from Faiveley: compelling aromas of blackberry, raspberry preserve, briary, sea cave and light rose petal aromas. The oak just needs more time to assimilate. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, and nicely pitched acidity. A tightly coiled finish feels abrupt for the moment. It just needs several years in bottle. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.

Six barrels, 60% new oak. Racked once end of June and blended back to barrel. 40% whole bunch. Dark and a little charry on the nose with just a hint of smoky reduction. Dark, savoury and nicely dry on the palate. Has finesse in a dark, slightly sombre mode at the moment. Althought the oak is very obvious, there’s depth of fruit to fill out the core and give a deep and intense wine. Powerful and really savoury and the tannins are compact with lots of fine layers. Long and charry on the finish. (JH)
