2018 Domaine Henri Rebourseau Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru
France / Burgundy / Cote de Nuits / Gevrey-Chambertin Grand Cru Rouge
Domaine Henri Rebourseau Gevrey-Chambertin Grand Cru Mazy-Chambertin is a powerful and opulent wine, rivalling Clos de Bèze in finesse. Marked by subtle nuances of red fruit, liquorice, and jammy cherries.
Jean-François Bazin quoting Corneille with regard to the domaine’s Mazy-Chambertin-plot: "Oh how many deeds, how many glorious achievements remain unsung in the darkness and the shadows".
The name Mazy was first used in 1420. Situated in the continuation af the Clos de Bèze, it is evident that the use af this climat for winemaking purposes has a long history. The Mazis are sited upon crinoidal limestone (limestone formed with fossils) dating from the lower Bajocian era, and calcareous rocks rise to the surface of this brown soil. Superbly protected from the north by the village, the Mazy-Chambertin is one of Gevrey's subtlest and most complex Grands Crus.
The domaine's 0.96ha Mazy-plot stretches along the length of a gentle slope from the bottom of the Route des Grands Crus to Chambertin Ruchottes at the top of the slope.
