The Mazis really impressed in 2020. Its fresh and suave approach on the nose hits the palate with some restraint. Nothing is forced nor big nor bold. A charming, well measured glide across the palate of dark raspberries and pert strawberry flesh. There is a dusty mineral undertow - adding grip and a serious edge. The long finish has a whiff of menthol that excites and lifts once again. Very classy for the vintage. L&S (Nov 2021)

The 2020 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru does not fully deliver the complexity of its peers, though there is plenty of red and blue fruit, strawberry wine gums and lavender. There are some Brettanomyces here, a bit sauvage. But I'm still drawn to the aromatics. The palate is medium-bodied with an almost creamy texture, brambly red fruit with deft use of whole bunches lending a discreet pepperiness. There's a lot going on in this wine as it unfolds with time, a classy operator. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. Drinking range: 2029 - 2058 Rating: 93 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Oct 2024)
Ripe and packed with cherry and berry fruit, this red is creamy and resonant. Reveals spice, licorice, tobacco, meat and mineral elements as this plays out on the long, spicy finish. What this lacks in concentration it makes up for with finesse and length. Best from 2027 through 2045. Drinking range: 2027 - 2035 Rating: 94 Bruce Sanderson, The Wine Spectator (Mar 2023)
Exotic, dark and turbo-charged, this wine is wound up with sweet black plums and blackberries, anise and forest floor. It's definitely a wine for those that like bolder, chunkier Pinots, whether you drink it soon or wait a few decades. Speaking of which, Jérôme feels strongly that it is best to wait ten years before trying this wine. For the less patient, I implore you to wait at least six or seven years!
