Dugat Py - Mazis Chambertin Tres Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru 2022

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "An almost primordial, brooding vin de garde, the 2022 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru opens in the glass to notes of smoky wild berries, incense, rose petals, orange zest and exotic spices. Full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, it's layered and concentrated, underpinned by a chassis of rich, powdery tannin and concluding with a broad, floral finish."

DECANTER: "The Mazis from Dugat-Py is profound, if not as expressively open as other wines in the cellar, yet there is abundant substance here. The aromas are spicy and complex, with an impressive depth of flavour to the black plum fruit and a round, supple structure. The grapes are from 75-year-old vines in Mazis-Bas; with the next vintage, Loïc will add a cuvée of Mazis-Haut from a sharecropping agreement. The fruit is fermented as 90% whole clusters; ageing is in 50% new casks."
