1980 Domaine Maume Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru

Bid on this bottle of 1980 Domaine Maume Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru. "Domaine Maume's wines are deep, profound Pinot Noir experiences, " writes noted importer Kermit Lynch. "They are wines of mystery - constantly changing and evolving, both in barrel and in bottle, like the Burgundies of the past. They are bottled from barrel by gravity without any pumping, fining or filtration. The secret to Maume's success is his rigid adherence to selection massale cuttings in his replanting of the family's vineyards. By isolating vines with the healthiest grapes, they replant only the best...The Maume wines have a well-deserved reputation for long-term cellaring potential. A 1980 Lavaux St. Jacques tasted in 2009 was perfectly mature. A 1979 Mazis tasted in 2008 seemed capable of going on forever at its peak of perfection. A great bottle from Maume takes you about as deep into the Burgundian soul as you can get."
