A wild and brooding bouquet of dark berries, cinnamon, grilled meats, black chocolate and rich soil tones introduces the 2018 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru, a full-bodied, broad and textural wine that's deep and layered, with powdery tannins and complex carnal nuances to complement its sweet core of fruit, concluding with a sapid finish. Mortet told me that this is one of the higher-pH cuvées in the cellar this year, and I suspect it will drink well comparatively early by the standards of young Mazis-Chambertin.
From 70 year old vines adjacent to Clos de Bèze, at mid slope on a band of hard limestone. This is gorgeous with a sensational and indeed noble mouthfeel, dark raspberry fruit and a whisper of black cherry but overall a magnificent full yet perfectly balanced mouthful with exceptional length. 4 barrels made but two have to be returned to the vineyard owner.
