Domaine Tawse Mazis-Chambertin 2017

Mazis-Chambertin is the most northerly of the Grand Cru appellations of Gevrey-Chambertin, but it is warmer and more sheltered than its neighbours to the south the ‘Clos de Beze’ and "Chambertin". An overtly spicy array is comprised of mostly red berries and lovely range of floral elements that are trimmed in just enough wood to merit pointing out.

The mouthfeel of the broad-shouldered flavors is sleeker though not quite as dense or powerful while exhibiting fine length on the lingering and moderately austere finale where a hint of bitter cherry pit-character emerges.
