2013 Domaine Tortochot Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru

“The 2013 Mazis Chambertin Grand Cru was bottled in December and aged in 100% new oak. Even though there is more new wood than the Charmes, here on the Mazis I find superior integration and it is in sync with the fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with firm but supple tannin, good body and density but with sufficient elegance on the finish. This is a broad-shouldered Mazis-Chambertin that should reward cellaring.

“A more complex nose displays more sauvage character to the ultra-fresh spiced plum and distinctly cool earth-inflected aromas that are trimmed in a deft application of wood. There is that wonderful inner mouth perfume to the detailed and notably more powerful middle weight flavors where the supporting structural elements are more phenolically mature, all wrapped in a backward and distinctly austere finish.” (01/2016)
