FEATURES
The 2014 Dominique Laurent Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is a profound expression of Gevrey-Chambertin's historic Grand Crus, crafted from 100% Pinot Noir. The 2014 vintage in Burgundy was considered classic, highlighting the purity of the terroir and a refined structure, with reds being pleasing. Dominique Laurent is known for his artisanal approach and meticulous élevage, resulting in a style that is both generous and precise, balancing concentration with freshness and fruit definition. 【This Grand Cru combines power, depth, and remarkable finesse, promising a complex evolution in the bottle】. It presents a deep ruby colour with garnet highlights, hinting at concentration and a light evolution on the rim. The nose is expressive and layered, offering notes of black cherry, ripe strawberry, plum, violet, undergrowth, sweet spices, cedar, and cocoa. With aeration, hints of leather and game can emerge, adding complexity. On the palate, it is ample and silky, with finely woven tannins and an elegant structure, unfolding flavours of dark berries, liquorice, and subtle smoky notes, all carried by a vibrant acidity. This wine has excellent cellaring potential, capable of evolving harmoniously for at least another decade.
🍴 This noble Grand Cru pairs beautifully with dishes of similar character, such as roast lamb or venison with herbs, slow-braised beef or veal cheeks, and poultry in rich jus like Bresse chicken with morels. Mature, hard cow's milk cheeses are also an ideal accompaniment.
🥂 The Dominique Laurent Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru 2014 is perfect for gastronomic dinners, special celebrations, and intimate tastings where its full aromatic spectrum and complex evolution can be savoured. Decanting well in advance is recommended to allow the bouquet to fully unfold. Serve at 16-17°C in large Burgundy glasses.
