Tasting notes
Aromas of orange zest, berries and vanilla pod, along with a high-toned top note, introduce the 2023 Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru, a medium to full-bodied, taut and chalky wine that wasn't as put-together as the rest of the range when I tasted it.

45- and 50-year-old vines. 50% whole bunch, 30% new oak. Cask sample. Mid-ruby. Ripe dark-red and black fruits: cherry, cassis, raspberry with plenty of spice on top. Rich texture with fresh acidity and firm, well-knit tannins. Very satisfying with long length and an explosive, spicy bouquet on the finish. Excellent wine. (MH)
The 2023 Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru contains 70% whole bunch with the central stem removed. This has a perfumed bouquet with red berry fruit, blackberry, pressed violet petals and a touch of blood orange. The palate is medium-bodied with more sucrosity on the entry compared to other cuvées, but this remains tensile and focused. It concludes with a harmonious, satin-textured finish. Wonderful.
