Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru
Elegant mid-weight reds are made in the traditional dry, earthy style of the French classics. Most are Pinot Noirs, but all share European sensibilities and a savory food-oriented flavor profile.
FOOD PAIRING: Flexible partners for lighter meats, poultry & seafood (served hot). Ideal for dishes accented with CHEESE, MUSHROOMS or GARLIC, but not suited for spicy heat or sugary foods!

Description
Tasting Notes
This climate belongs to the 8 Grands Crus of Gevrey-Chambertin. Neighbors Ruchottes-Chambertin, the plot of Mazis is divided into two parts: the "Mazis Hauts" and "Mazis Bas". Our wine comes from the first, on a steep terroir where the phenomenon of erosion is strong. There is a thin layer of vegetation and about ten centimeters of brown soil from Scree de la Combe. The word "Mazis", derived from the word "mas" refers to the presence of farm, rural houses.

WinemakingAppearance:Dark with a ruby color.
Aroma:Intense aromas of cherry and raspberry core supported by spicy notes. We also find some aromas subtly woody.
Palate:A wine combining power and elegance! The tannins are silky and the finish is long.
Tech NotesVintage Notes:The 2017 vintage, the epitome of Bourgogne elegance. After spending the winter building up their strength, the vines profited fully from a very warm spring, with budburst in early April ensuring a head start in terms of the growth cycle that was maintained right up to the harvest. The plants progressed from stage to stage free from hindrance, and by mid-June, were flowering before rapid fruit set. An early vintage was confirmed.
