Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2013 Mazis Chambertin Grand Cru has a grumpy, woodland, damp moss-scented bouquet that is a curmudgeonly delight. It's like waking your snoozing granddad during his sacred afternoon nap. The palate is pure on the entry with exquisite dark berry and mulberry fruit with hints of dark chocolate lending another dimension toward the finish. Perhaps one of the most personality-driven red 2013s from Mounir this year. There is a feral nature to this Mazis-Chambertin that I love.

A wine with depth and strength plus dark fruit, spice and hints of mushroom. It's full-bodied, tight and compacted with a long, long finish. A gloriously complex and fascinating red. Aromas of coffee, spice and dark fruits are truly mind-boggling yet subtle.
About the Producer
Domaine Lucien Le Moine is a small-scale, boutique winery based in Burgundy, France. It was established in 1999 by Mounir and Rotem Saouma, who named the estate after their son, Lucien. The winery is known for its meticulous approach to winemaking, focusing on producing limited quantities of high-quality wines. The philosophy behind Domaine Lucien Le Moine revolves around the concept of "micro-negotiant." Rather than owning their own vineyards, Mounir and Rotem carefully select grapes from trusted growers across various appellations in Burgundy. This allows them to have control over every aspect of the winemaking process, from vineyard management to the final bottling.The winery's production is extremely limited, with a focus on premier cru and grand cru vineyards.
