Mazis-Chambertin represents one of the domaine's most profound expressions of Gevrey, sourced from exceptionally old massale-selected vines. Michelin describes Mazis as "the most dark and brooding" among the estate's Grand Crus, reflecting its formidable structure and depth.
Dense layers of black cherry, blackberry, violet, earth and mineral unfold over powerful yet beautifully integrated tannins. Built for decades of evolution, this is a monumental Grand Cru that epitomizes Dugat-Py's style.
Additional elevage has brought a further degree of elegance to the 2020 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru that I didn't perceive last year. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, incense, licorice, forest floor and smoked duck, it's full-bodied, seamless and multidimensional, with an unusually polished, suave profile for a just-bottled Mazis-Chambertin from this address. Of course, it remains a brooding, concentrated wine that will require patience, but Loic Dugat-Py seems to have unlocked an additional layer of sensuality and refinement for this cuvée with the 2020 vintage. - RP 98
Here the broad-ranging nose reflects notes of the sauvage, black cherry, raspberry, earth and a wisp of old leather. There is again outstanding density to the equally large-scaled flavors that possess a highly appealing texture before culminating in a dusty, hugely long, youthfully austere and compact finale. Magnificent. - BH 97
