Wine Advocate (93)The 2012 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru comes from 0.42 hectares of 50-year-old vines. This is another exemplary expression of this vineyard with a more sensual bouquet than the Charmes-Chambertin: perfumed raspberry and fresh strawberries billowing from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied, very well poised and sporting well-judged acidity. There is a natural, refined composure to this Mazis-Chambertin, which does not short-change you in fruit intensity on the rounded, velvety finish. This is probably the best wine I have tasted from this domaine. |

Burghound (92)(from .42 ha parcel in Mazis-Haut). A more restrained though more layered nose reflects notes of various dark berries, newly turned earth and plenty of gamy sauvage character. The rich, generous and reasonably concentrated medium weight flavors also exude evident minerality on the solidly powerful and impressively long finale. This does however need more depth so I strongly advise holding this in reserve for at least 5 to 7 years first. |
