Located in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, the Grand Cru Mazis-Chambertin is famous for producing some of the most intense, complex and long-lived Pinot Noir in the world, and Domaines Faiveley, with its rich heritage dating back to 1825, expresses it all in this wine the character and nobility of its prestigious vineyard.

The grapes for the Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru are carefully selected from older vines, which guarantee a low yield but of very high quality, concentrating the essence of the terroir in the bunches. Winemaking is managed with an approach that balances respect for tradition and the use of modern techniques, aiming to enhance the purity of the fruit and the specificity of the site. The aging in French oak barriques, some of which are new, adds layers of complexity without overwhelming the varietal expression.

This wine is a true sensorial journey that reflects the richness and complexity of its terroir.

In the mouth, the wine demonstrates controlled power, with fine but firm tannins framing a rich and deep texture of flavours. The extraordinary concentration of fruit combines with a lively acidity, leading to a long and persistent finish, in which mineral notes and a delicate aftertaste of sweet spices are revealed.

The Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru by Domaines Faiveley is a meditation wine, which continues to evolve in the glass, offering new nuances with every sip. It is also a wine with considerable aging potential, capable of maturing and developing even greater complexity over decades.
