FEATURES
The 1993 vintage in Burgundy for red wines is considered underrated and better than average, producing healthy grapes and well-colored, fruity wines that have lasted and developed well. While some initial reviews noted unruly acidity and a lack of fruit in certain wines, top-tier producers managed to create concentrated, rich, supple, and elegant wines. The reds of 1993 are described as powerful and concentrated with a firm backbone of ripe tannins. Domaine Philippe Naddef, a relatively young domaine established in 1983, sources its Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru from old vines planted in two parcels, "Mazis Haut" and "Mazis Bas," dating back to the early 14th century. Tasting notes for Philippe Naddef Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru often highlight earthy, forest floor, cherry, raspberry, and red fruit notes, with hints of lavender and violet. Some community reviews mention barrel notes and a lack of fruit in older bottles, suggesting they might be past their peak, though still drinkable. 【Powerful and concentrated with a firm backbone of ripe tannins】. This wine is suitable for those who appreciate the evolution of mature Burgundy, offering a glimpse into a vintage that has surprised many with its longevity.
🍴 Food Pairing: Red Burgundy, with its savory and classic profile, pairs well with duck, goose, and other game birds. Its earthy and sometimes gamey character also makes it a classic partner to roasted game birds, grilled duck breast, and dishes featuring mushrooms, black truffles, or rich in umami.
🥂 Event: An excellent choice for a vertical tasting of Mazis-Chambertin, a sophisticated dinner party, or as a special gift for a collector of mature Burgundy wines.
