Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru

Mazis-Chambertin is located in the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin, between Chambertin-Clos de Bèze and Ruchottes-Chambertin. The east-facing vines are planted on the long hillside with hard limestone bedrock. The name "Mazis" refers to a hamlet once located here that disappeared during the Middle Ages.

Tasting

Garnet red in colour with aromas evocative of black cherry, cocoa and mint. A few years in the cellar will allow these initial aromas to acquire more animal and spicy notes, while maintaining great freshness. The palate is a skilful combination of power, elegance and voluptuousness.

Food/wine pairing

Pairs well with finely prepared choice cuts of red meat, all types of game, marinades, stews and strong, sophisticated cheeses.
