Perrot Minot - Mazoyeres Chambertin 2017

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

Mazoyères-Chambertin is an Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) and Grand Cru vineyard for red wine in the Côte de Nuits subregion of Burgundy, with Pinot noir as the main grape variety. Mazoyères-Chambertin is located within the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin. It is situated below (to the east of) the Route des Grands Crus. It borders on Latricières-Chambertin and the Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru aux Combottes in the west, Charmes-Chambertin in the north, Gevrey-Chambertin village level vineyards in the east, and Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru vineyards in the south. The AOC was created in 1937.

A peculiarity of Mazoyères-Chambertin is that the appellations Charmes-Chambertin (of the neighbouring Grand Cru vineyard) may be used interchangeably with that of Mazoyères-Chambertin. As Charmes-Chambertin is the more popular to use, relatively little wine is bottled as Mazoyères-Chambertin, which is only around 10 per cent of the production.

Another grand cru vineyard in Gevrey Chambertin with a similar name, but no other connection is Mazis-Chambertin which is also known as Mazy-Chambertin.

The 2017 Mazoyères-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru feels a little tight on the nose at the moment, lacking the precision and terroir expression of the Charmes-Chambertin. Scents of blood orange mix with brown spices, and a little leather emerges with continued aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, supple, quite saturated tannin. This feels nicely balanced, just a little oak showing through on the finish at the moment, but that will be assimilated.
