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 Be`ze. Winemaker Je´ro^me Flous has told us that Mazis, for him, should embody everything to be expected from a great wine in this village, and he has pulled off another great success with this 2021. Colour is ruby-purple of medium depth, aromas are open, fresh and complex. Palate shows rich structure, impressive layers of flavour, gently textured tannins and magnificent, luscious length (for drinking 2027-2040+).

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.
