2022 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru, Domaine Faiveley

2022 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru, Domaine Faiveley

Mazis is the most northern of the Gevrey grands crus, and is renowned for making some of the most seductive wines amongst them. The Faiveley plot benefits from some very old vines, some of which were planted in 1930. This is elegant and seductive, with a spicy, rich, lavishness about it.

Tasting notes

The 2022 Corton Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru has a potent nose: think of grandmother's potpourri you smelled in her old house. It almost overwhelms that red fruit behind it. The palate is well-balanced with pure red cherry, wild strawberry, and finely-knit tannins. It’s one of the more elegant Cortons tasted with a touch of piquancy on the finish. Delightful. Drink after 8-10 years if you can resist temptation.

(94—96)/100

A brilliant intense purple. Immediately on the nose there is a nobility over and above anything else in the cellar. The fruit swells across the palate without losing its sense of identity. There is an equilibrium from perfect structure backing this intensity of fruit. Harmonious structure, well integrated oak and impressive length. Drink from 2030-2040. Tasted: October 2023. 5 stars
