2023 Mazis Chambertin

Faiveley’s Mazis-Chambertin comes from two separate parcels, one at the top (Mazis Haut) and one at the bottom of this Grand Cru site (Mazis Bas). Assembled together, it beautifully combines the site’s best traits – earthy minerality and muscular power. As Erwan Faiveley noted during our tasting, the 2023 might just be “the king of the cellar” this year. The wine soars from the glass – an intense nose that is rich and sweet. But it’s the extraordinary texture of this wine that is most striking: smooth, glossy and round, yet with incredible power and drive. There’s great intensity here, yet with a supple viscosity at its core. Firm minerality forms the backbone of the wine, while sweet spice dusts the long and fresh finish.
