Tasting notes
The 2010 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is deep in color. It has a rather rumbunctious peppermint-tinged nose with dense black fruit, what feels like slightly zealous use of new wood. The palate has an attractive sweet core of fruit, quite plush with pliant tannins, touches of espresso and dark chocolate slightly obscuring the terroir expression on the finish. Solid, if missing some charm. Tasted blind at the Wallace brothers' Xmas dinner.

Bright ruby. A wild animal on the nose, showing slightly decadent scents of dark berries, rare steak, rose, violet and licorice. Like liquid silk on the superconcentrated palate, with wild, gamey black fruit flavors lifted by a peppery element. Conveys a sense of solidity without any corners. A bit like a blacker version of a Cote-Rotie, finishing with outstanding verve and huge, noble tannins. Dugat made a bit less Mazis in 2010 than in 2011: about 30 hectoliters per hectare, vs. 33.
The 2010 Mazis-Chambertin is like candy. It boasts the silkiest, most elegant of tannins in support of expressive red fruit. Floral notes develop later, adding considerable lift and brightness. The finish is breathtaking for its seamless radiance. In 2010 the Mazis is all class and elegance. Dugat used 100% whole clusters on the Mazis.
100% new oak. 100% whole bunch. Very aromatic and perfumed. Juicy with lots of fruit in the middle just a slightly tough, almost bitter, note on the end for now. Nowhere near ready. Hold on for more integration. (JR)
