Description

Blend
This wine is crafted exclusively from Pinot Noir, Burgundy’s noble grape variety. The terroir of Mazoyères-Chambertin gives the Pinot Noir an ideal environment to develop intricate aromas, rich flavors, and a well-structured tannic backbone. The old vines in this parcel contribute to the wine’s concentration and complexity, making it a classic example of the finesse and power that can be achieved in the Côte de Nuits.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Deep ruby red with garnet reflections, indicating concentration and aging potential.
Nose: The nose is a symphony of ripe red and black fruits, such as cherry, blackberry, and blackcurrant, complemented by floral hints of violet. Layers of spice, underbrush, and licorice, with subtle notes of leather and truffle from oak aging, add complexity.
Palate: Full-bodied and structured with firm yet refined tannins, this wine offers a seamless balance of power and elegance. The flavors of black fruits meld harmoniously with spicy, earthy, and mineral undertones. Its silky texture leads to a long, persistent finish, while fresh acidity brings liveliness, ensuring the wine ages gracefully.
Aging Potential
The 2017 Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru has an impressive potential for aging. Although already approachable due to its fruit intensity and vibrant freshness, it will develop more complexity over the next 15 to 20 years, possibly even longer. The wine will reach its peak after several years of cellaring, revealing further layers of depth and elegance.
Food Pairing
This grand cru pairs beautifully with rich and flavorful dishes. It is an ideal companion for red meats such as beef fillet or lamb leg, and it also complements game dishes like venison or wild boar. Hearty stews, slow-cooked meats, and dishes with red wine sauces, such as coq au vin, will highlight the wine’s depth. Aged cheeses such as Comté, Brie de Meaux, or Reblochon will also enhance its complexity.
