Domaine Faiveley Mazis Chambertin Grand Cru 2017 Magnum

Note: from both Mazis Haut and Bas where the two parcels total a remarkable 1.20 ha

Here the expressive nose isn't quite as toasty but it's still far from subtle while managing not to unduly mask the more sauvage-inflected dark berry and forest floor scents. There good density and solid power to the muscular yet reasonably refined flavors that also evidence ample minerality on the beautifully long finale where the supporting tannins are slightly riper. This too should age effortlessly and I often prefer the Latricières but in 2017, the Mazis appears to have a slight edge in quality. Score: 92-95, Tasted: Jan 10, 2019, Drink 2032+, Issue 73 - Don't miss!
