Wine Description
The Story
This parcel owes its name to the small cabins on its land.
Mazy-Chambertin is the northernmost Grand Cru in Gevrey-Chambertin and has two distinct parts: Mazy-Haut and Mazy-Bas. The domain's vineyard is in Mazy-Bas, at the end of the road coming down from Les Ruchottes.
The parcel is composed of Bathonien Premeaux limestone. The shallow soil lies on top of a layer of fine scree originating from the alluvial cone of the Combe Lavaux. The soil is thick and can reach over 1.5 metres in depth.
Mazy-Chambertin wines are known for their good structure. A robust wine with pleasant and persistent aromas.
Vintage 2020
In Burgundy, the harvest is over for most farmers. It has been a year with a lot of heat both in July and August. A huge problem this year has been leaf-thinning and canopy management. Those who have not paid enough attention to the leaf-thinning experienced problems with sunburned grapes.
In Cote d’Or, it is especially the heat that has been tricky this season. First and foremost, some grapes have been burned by the sun resulting in raisins that the critical winegrower will not want in the cellar. Secondly, too much sun for a longer period caused stress among the vines and thus shut down the ripening. The result is grapes that look ripe but are still not ripe in taste. On the other hand, the most critical winegrowers report of really good grapes in the winery. Producers up north in Chablis are also reporting a satisfactory harvest.
