Charmes-Chambertin “Les Mazoyères” Grand Cru Reviews

Healthy dark red. Superripe, liqueur-like aromas of red cherry, damp earth, tobacco and dried rose. Lush, sweet and rich but also very pure, conveying a strong impression of terroir to its powerful flavors of dark fruits, minerals, spices and Gevrey earth. Turns drier and more classic on the back end. A very dense example of Charmes-Chambertin, but then these vines are in Mazoyères. Finishes with an enticing combination of sweetness and firm minerality. — Stephen Tanzer

This is also markedly floral though here the undertones
of soil, humus, forest floor and fallen leaves is much stronger on the assorted red berry infused nose. There is a lovely sense
of tension to the detailed but powerful and muscular big-bodied flavors that brim with dry extract on the balanced, intense and
lingering finish where the shaping tannins are quite firm but relatively fine. This too is lovely juice that should reward mid to
longer-term cellaring.
 

Healthy dark red. Black cherry and violet on the expressive nose, plus a complicating hint of musky torrefaction that carries through onto the palate. Tighter and sappier in the mouth than the nose suggests, showing a juicy quality as well as intriguing earth tones to the cherry and coffee flavors (this wine's pH is one of the lowest in the range of '13s here). Finishes very long, with harmonious tannins and stimulating stony minerality.
