2022 Faiveley Mazis Chambertin Grand Cru, Cote d'Or

The enormously deep and dark nose of wet earth and spicy complexity barely prepares you for the combination of gigantic concentration, precision and originality on the stunningly graceful palate, which is only medium-bodied. The finish just keeps echoing down the valleys of your mind thanks to the extraordinarily fine tannins. From three plots in this legendary site totaling 1.4 hectares. From organically grown grapes. Matured in 50% new oak and 50% once-used oak. Drink or hold.

Mid crimson with some depth. Dark raspberry, a little soupy at the moment but with good depth behind. The fruit covers the structure, as the tannins are fairly firm. The raspberries freshen up, gain in precision compared to the first mouthful. Not perhaps showing at its best on the day – there may well be more too this.

The 2022 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is deep and brooding, unwinding in the glass with aromas of minty cherries and dark berries mingled with spiced plums, orange zest and peony. Full-bodied, broad and enveloping, with an ample core of fruit framed by supple tannins and animated by bright acids, it concludes with a pure, saline finish.
