Very pretty and subtle aromas of blackcurrants and violets follow through to a medium body with firm tannins and a delicate finish. Crisp. Try after 2023. Rating: 92 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Feb 2021)

Checking in as a blend of 66% Merlot, 29% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot, the 2018 Château Mazeyres is packed with potential. Offering a modern feel in its pure blue fruits, graphite, spring flowers, and violet-laced aromatics, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a terrific sense of purity and elegance, fine tannins, and impressive length. It’s another Pomerol from the team of Thomas Duclos that shows the fresher, more elegant side to the vintage. Rating: 91-94 Jeb Dunnuck, www.jebdunnuck.com (May 2019)
Certified organic and biodynamic. Barrel sample. Deep cherry red. Gorgeously scented with violet notes over lively black fruit. Silky elegance that stands out from the crowd of dense, velvet-deep tannins in the other wines tastes so far. Real subtlety and elegance here. Juicy and long, with as much red fruit as black.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Mazeyres (66% Merlot, 29% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot) offers up bright redcurrant jelly and kirsch scents over a core of preserved plums, blackberry pie and mincemeat plus a touch of woodsmoke. Full-bodied with a velvety texture supporting the generous black fruit preserves, it has loads of spicy sparks on the finish. Rating: 88-90 Lisa Perrotti-Brown, RobertParker.com (Apr 2019)
Château Mazeyres
The 18th Century Château Mazeyres stands in the northern outskirts of Libourne and is part of the smallest appellation in the Gironde, Pomerol, widely known for the aromatic intensity of its wines and the typicality of its terroirs inscribed in an exceptional geological ensemble.
The vineyard is located on a beautiful ridge of sandy gravel with a subsoil of serious clay extending onto the plateau of Catusseau, a molasse subsoil that is extremely rich in iron.
Alain Moueix has managed Château Mazeyres since 1992, in which time the château has been renovated, expanded the vineyard from 8 to 25.5ha, and moved the viticulture over toward the biodynamic. The vineyards are 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc.
