Tasting notes
The 2008 Mazis-Chambertin is a beguiling, inward wine layered with sensual dark fruit, mocha, minerals and sweet spices. Open and accessible, the 2008 Mazis impresses for its fabulous balance and multi-dimensional, textured finish. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026. The house style at Harmand-Geoffroy favors a rich, concentrated expression of fruit. Most of the 2009s were bottled in January 2011. I also had a chance to taste a selection of 2008s, which I generally think are superior to the 2009s here. The estate’s approach seems better balanced by the freshness and verve of that year. Importer: Rosenthal Wine Merchant, Pine Plains, NY; tel. (800) 910-1990

Notably deep crimson. Heady, rich, plump morello-cherry nose. Much much richer than any others of their wines I have tasted. A little note of spicy oak dominates the fruit, which slightly worries me. Lots of life here. Brimming over with wild life. Very dry finish. This may well get there in the end but the oak is a current concern. (JR)
