2020 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru, Domaine Tawse

2020 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru, Domaine Tawse

This Mazis is deeply coloured, and sumptuously perfumed. The palate is effortlessly refined, and has class and finesse in spades. It is drawn from three parcels, one of which is over 75 years old. The fruit from these very old vines goes in as whole bunch (accounting for around 10%), whilst the rest is destemmed. It is the undisputed high point of the Tawse cellar in 2020, and may well be a contender for wine of the vintage in the whole of Burgundy.

Tasting notes

The 2020 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is 12 % whole bunch this year. It has a very marine-influenced bouquet with hints of black olive infusing the red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin, concentrated with pure redcurrant and wild strawberry fruit with fine mineralité towards the finish. Denser than the Mazoyères, but maybe without quite the thrilling delineation.
