"The 2005 Mazis Chambertin Vieilles Vignes represents a true old vines selection, inasmuch as the young vines that are inter-planted are picked and vinified separately. A bit reduced and animal on the nose, it opens to a beautiful, concentrated expression of cherry and raspberry confiture on the palate, with both juicy fresh fruit and lightly caramelized aspects as well, and with deep, rich, roasted underlying meatiness and a wet stone and graphite mineral character. Creamy in texture, generous in its ripeness and sweetness of fruit, yet clear, refined, and strikingly mineral in its formidable, expansive length."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
The Cote de Nuits' largest Grand Cru commune, producing powerful, structured and deeply flavored Pinot Noir built for long aging.
2005 in Burgundy is a legendary vintage from a near-ideal, dry growing season; both reds and whites are concentrated, structured and superbly balanced, with dense tannins and exceptional long-term aging potential.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
