Dominique Laurent Gevrey-Chambertin Grand Cru Mazis-Chambertin Grande Cuvée Vieilles Vigne.
Depending on the vintage, this may be labelled Cuvée Vieilles Vigne.

Mazis-Chambertin (sometimes spelled Mazy-Chambertin) is the northernmost Grand Cru vineyard in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits sub-region. 

Mazis-Chambertin wines are structured and rich, and the best examples closely resemble the wines of the neighboring Clos-de-Bèze climat.

Mazis-Chambertin (which, along with the other Grand Crus in Gevrey, was classified as such in 1937) has shallow, chalky soils that are excellent for the production of high-quality wine. The higher end of the slope has particularly thin limestone soils. Water drains freely, which helps to discourage vigor and forces the vine's energy into grape production.
The continental climate and southeasterly aspect help the grapes to achieve full ripeness while retaining all-important acidity.
