Domaine Faiveley, Mazis Chambertin Grand Cru 2023

The 2023 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is quite understated on the nose with brambly red fruit, briar and light earthy scents that emerge with time. It's subtle and very different from Roty's Mazis, which I tasted an hour earlier. The palate is medium-bodied and well balanced with crunchy red fruit, chalky tannins and a judicious touch of white pepper toward the finish. I suspect this is a pretty Mazis-Chambertin that will give most of its pleasure in its first decade.

My inclination is in favor of the ethereal Latricières, but some readers may gravitate toward the denser, fleshier 2023 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru, a full-bodied, supple and layered wine evocative of smoky berries and plums mingled with exotic spices and orange zest.

Very concentrated and tightly structured but wonderfully elegant, thanks to the fineness of the tannins. Aromas of smoke, licorice and wet earth as well as a wealth of forest-berry fruit. In spite of all this, it feels lively on the medium- to full-bodied palate. Extremely long, compact finish. From organically grown grapes. Matured in a half-and-half mix of new oak barriques and once-used casks. Drink or hold.
