Tasting notes
Faiveley’s 2009 Mazis-Chambertin took things to another level with its exquisite perfume, silky personality and alluring personality. Ample and resonant, the 2009 Mazis was magnificent. I admit, I had a second glass. What a wine!

Cassis and slightly herbal but not underripe. Scented mid palate, fine light structure. Elegant, fresh but pretty lightweight. (JH)
Good deep red. Ineffably complex aromas of wild red fruits, menthol, white pepper, minerals and powdered stone. A wine of great nobility, a bit imploded on entry, then wonderfully complex and aromatic in the middle, with terrific sappiness and energy to the lightly saline flavors of red fruits, spices, licorice and crushed stone. The rising, endless finish titillates the taste buds. This makes the Latricieres seem dry in comparison.
