Description
Faiveley owns vines in both sections of this vineyard – les Mazis Hauts and Mazis Bas. For many people, this is the most complex and thrilling of the satellite Grand Crus which adjoin Chambertin and Chambertin Clos de Bèze. Winemaker Jérôme Flous has told us that Mazis, for him, should embody everything to be expected from a great wine in this village, and he has again excelled himself with this 2020. Colour is ruby-purple of medium depth, aromas are open, floral and complex. Palate is stunning – richly-built, fleshy and many-layered, with gentle tannins – a glorious wine (for drinking 2026-2040+).

Domaine Faiveley
Our shipments from this superb source of great Burgundies date back over 30 years, to the 1989 vintage. This is very much a family business, with François Faiveley’s children, Erwan and Eve, now at the helm. Winemaker Jérôme Flous and his assistant Bastien Giraud are highly talented, and operate within a rebuilt, spacious, state-of-the-art winery in Nuits-Saint-Georges. The superb 125 hectare Domaine includes 13 different Grands Crus and 25 Premiers Crus. Since the 2007 vintage, many carefully thought-through changes have taken place, with work in vineyards and wine-making becoming more closely integrated. They invested in gentler means of transporting grapes from sorting tables to vats, up-graded their temperature control systems, installed a new hydraulic press, and fine-tuned the barrel buying – all to great effect. Jérôme Flous has been here for more than a decade, having previously worked as technical consultant for many top Domaines. The wines have been gaining in richness, fruit density, complexity and smoothness, without sacrifice of ageing potential.
