The 2023 Mazy-Chambertin Grand Cru comes from two parcels that were tasted separately, from a southern and a northern block. The southern has a fresh red berry nose with touches of chalk dust. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, edgy tannins. The northern block offers darker fruit with touches of rooibos filtering through. The palate is more structured and grippy. Interestingly, an assembled blend has the northern block dominating even though it represents one-third of the blend, whereas the southern part lends sensuality on the palate. This was one of the strongest cuvées under the previous regime and it continues to be so now. - By Neal Martin on November 2024

The 2023 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is excellent, offering up aromas of dark berries, incense and orange zest followed by a full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate that's layered and pillowy, with supple tannins, succulent acids and a precise finish. This is one of the cuvées that exhibits the most progress chez Rebourseau.
The Mazy plot of the estate follows a nuanced slope along its length which extends from the bottom of the Route des Grands Crus to Chambertin Ruchottes at the top of the hill. Located in the continuity of the Clos de Bèze, it is obvious that the winemaking of this climate is older (was first named back in 1420). It is located on the entroque limestone of the lower Bajocian. A brown earth composes its soil where rock outcrops in the form of lava. Admirably protected from the north by the village, the Mazy-Chambertin is one of the most complex and subtle Grands Crus of Gevrey. Absolutely superb!
