Almost perfect red cherry nose! Ripe densely concentrated and tightly wound. Staggering intensity and brilliance at the almost endless finish. What amazing finesse! Can't wait to taste this from bottle!
Faiveley has 1.56 hectares spread over several parcels in Mazis ? mostly in Mazis-Haut but a small parcel in Mazis-Bas. This Mazis is a substantial wine but without quite the structure and depth of the Latricières. The forward cherry fruit with an earthy component is charming; technical director Jérôme Flous describes the earthiness as 'iron-rich almost bloody'; the wine echos memorably on the finish. This wine will drink well after three to five years of cellaring and should continue improving for at least another 20 years after that. (Drink between 2032-2065) - Charles Curtis MW
Laced with alluring notes of cherry blackberry pomegranate and spicy oak this red is supple and dense. Lively acidity helps keep this balanced while corralling the flavors on the extended iron-tinged finish. Shows superb harmony texture and length. Best from 2028 through 2047. ?B.S.
Mid crimson with some depth. Dark raspberry a little soupy at the moment but with good depth behind. The fruit covers the structure as the tannins are fairly firm. The raspberries freshen up gain in precision compared to the first mouthful. Not perhaps showing at its best on the day ? there may well be more too this.
The 2022 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is missing the same cohesion and presence as the Latric
The 2022 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is deep and brooding unwinding in the glass with aromas of minty cherries and dark berries mingled with spiced plums orange zest and peony. Full-bodied broad and enveloping with an ample core of fruit framed by supple tannins and animated by bright acids it concludes with a pure saline finish. Jérôme Flous and his team have produced another compelling range of 2022s and it's hardly surprising given the high level of vineyard management chez Faiveley or the skill and precision brought to bear in the winery and the cellar. As is often the case up and down the Côte d'Or the style is more delicate and sensual than was the case in 2020 and the wines seem set to offer broad drinking windows. Published: Jan 18 2024
The 2022 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is missing the same cohesion and presence as the Latricières at the moment, though it has an attractive rose bush/potpourri scent that emerges with time. The medium-bodied palate has a tad more angularity than the Latricières and fine mineralité, edgy and linear with a strict, tensile, lightly spiced finish. What you might term a "grower", aloof, but the sapidity draws you back. Excellent. (Drink between 2028-2052)
