Mazoyères Chambertin, Grand Cru, Vieilles Vignes, 2022
Broad and dark fruited, with a sense of creamy fruit across the mid-palate yet also a pique of acidity and energy at its core. Dark plums and damson fruits combine with touches of spice and sweet earth to produce a sultry, complex Mazoyeres, with the lift of blood orange and spice on the finish. Deep and seductive. A parcel of 60 year-old vines from the prime haut part of the Mazoyeres vineyard opposite Combottes and Latricières-Chambertin, close to Christophe's Charmes but so different in profile with much deeper soils, giving bigger, richer wines.
critic reviews
The 2022 Mazoyères-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru offers darker fruit than the Charmes-Chambertin, but there is more complexity here, more mineralité, with irresistible black cherry and bilberry scents. The oak is seamlessly integrated. The palate is very well-balanced with fine-boned tannins, certainly one of the most elegant Mazoyères that Christophe Perrot-Minot has overseen with a caressing, prolonged finish. Superb.
