Tasting notes
The 2020 Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru has an attractive nose that is quite Charmes-Chambertin in style. It has showy red fruit, sage, bay leaves and cloves. The oak is nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, taut and fresh, with a keen line of acidity and real elegance and complexity towards the peppery finish. Wonderful. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

Blueish crimson. Already quite a subtle nose. Broad fruit and polished tannins. Well balanced and workmanlike. Again, there's a light note of bitterness on the end and no shortage of fine tannins. (JR)
The 2020 Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru has a vivacious nose - according to Romain Taupenot it was much more closed the previous week. Hints of brown spice infused the red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine acidity, taut and fresh with veins of orange zest and white pepper on the finish. Great length, but this is quite strict and therefore cellaring is recommended.
