Tasting notes
The 2018 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is another structured, powerful wine that deserves cellaring. Some obvious stem notes as well as vibrant black fruits, black tea, and incredible minerality define the nose, and this puppy hits the palate with a firm, focused, concentrated style that brings lots of tannins and structure yet enough concentration and mid-palate depth to keep it balanced. It fleshes out nicely with time in the glass, and I love its mid-palate as well as its texture. This has everything, yet like the other 2018s here, the cellar is going to be your friend.

The 2018 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is an exotic beauty. A rush of sweet red berry fruit, blood orange, mint, dried flowers and rose petal soars out of the glass. The 2018 offers that aromatic brightness that is so typical of Mazis, but with the textural richness that has long been a signature of these wines. Here, too, cellaring is absolutely essential. The 2018 is a total knock-out. (AG)
