🏰 The 2023 vintage in Burgundy was a rare combination of both quality and quantity, offering a straightforward growing season that produced a plentiful crop of ripe fruit. It's described as a vintage of 'pure pleasure,' with all components—alcohol, acidity, tannin, and fruit—in harmony, resulting in charming and transparent wines. While it was the hottest year on record overall, the summer was relatively cool, with a late August/early September heatwave that rapidly pushed grapes to ripeness, necessitating quick harvesting to avoid overripeness. The red wines, like this Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru, are surprisingly concentrated without being over-ripe, showcasing aromatic and perfumed profiles with clean, pure notes of blue or red berries and pronounced floral hints. Alcohol levels are pleasingly moderate, typically between 13-13.5% ABV. Although specific tasting notes for the 2023 Millemann Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru are still emerging due to its youth, the 2022 vintage offered blackberry and cassis fruit, hints of smoke, earth, and Havana cigar, with a lushly approachable texture and a long, tannic finish. Expect a wine that is clean, precise, and expressive even in its youth, with significant aging potential. 【 Grand Cru Burgundy from Mazis-Chambertin, known for its potential for long aging. 】 🍴 This Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is a classic pairing for fine meats and game.
