Tasting notes
The 2019 Charmes-Chambertin Les Mazoyères Grand Cru has a slightly earthy bouquet and lacks a little cohesion at first, never really taking flight like its peers. It becomes smoky with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied, pliant and fresh, but, tasted after some exemplary Clos Saint-Jacques, comes across rather simple and slightly dry on the peppery finish. Not bad, but short of how it showed in barrel. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

From 104-year-old vines that are still productive, the 2019 Charmes-Chambertin Les Mazoyères Grand Cru includes 100% whole bunches. It might well possess my pick of the bouquets from Vougeraie, offering vibrant red berry fruit infused with lovely incense and blood orange scents. The harmonious palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, well-judged acidity and beautiful balance. Very persistent in the mouth. This is an excellent Charmes-Chambertin.
