2021 Mazis-Chambertin, Grand Cru, Domaine Tawse, Burgundy

0.75 ha. 50- to 75-year-old vines (the youngest, of seven years, go into the Dom Tawse Gevrey-Chambertin). 80% new oak. Cask sample.Pale ruby. Red fruits – strawberry, red cherry and redcurrant. Sweet and round on the palate – although less exuberant than I expected. Quite full bodied nevertheless, and very satisfying with suave tannins. Full and substantial without being a brute. A grand cru, by definition. Drink 2027 - 2045Matthew Hayes, JancisRobinson.com (January 2023)

An impressively layered nose combines violets, spice, earth, plum and dark berries and more subtle wood influence. There is good size and muscle to the rich, velvety and mouth-coating medium-weight flavours that possess fine mid-palate concentration along with evident power on the lightly mineral-inflected, balanced and highly persistent finish that also reflects just a touch of warmth.Drink from 2033 onwardallen_meadows, burghound_com.com (January 2023)

10% whole bunch, 70% new wood, 7 barrels.  Red to crimson in colour, lightly reductive. This is a wine which is sitting back in a reflective manner, but the constituent parts are all there. More in a savoury style than lush fruit. I think it will work very well, with good keeping qualities, but it is less demonstrative up front. The finish shows the class. Drink 2028 - 2038Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy_com (November 2022)

The 2021 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru contains 10% whole bunches with 70% new oak. This is much more reduced than the Mazoyères so is difficult to read. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, good structure and symmetry, a keen thread of acidity and gently building red fruit leading to a complex and persistent finish. Great potential, this is a superb Mazis.Drink 2026 - 2048Neil Martin, Vinous.com.com (January 2023)
