Bursting from the glass with a youthful but already expressive bouquet of dark berries, cassis, smoked meats and spices, the 2017 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a supple, open-knit core of succulent and delicately sun-kissed fruit, framed by ripe acids and melting tannins. This is a charming, satiny-textured Mazis that's going to offer a broad drinking window. What's more, I suspect that its early accessibility belies the fact that it will gain in depth and weight with some bottle age.

This beautiful red evokes violet, raspberry, strawberry and kirsch aromas and flavors. Tightens up on the palate, showing more oak as this winds down on the finish. All the components are here, just needs time to come together. Terrific length. Best from 2023 through 2045. 90 cases imported.??–BS??Region: France / Burgundy / Mazis-Chambertin Select to Add
