The 2010 Mazoyeres-Chambertin boasts a haunting, impossibly elegant bouquet. Hints of dark cherry, espresso, licorice and spice develop in the glass, adding considerable depth but no weight whatsoever. The Mazoyeres remains light on its feet and impeccably refined. Sweet, candied notes resonate on the finish. Ultimately the Mazoyeres is all about textural finesse, and there is no shortage of that here. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2040. Romain Taupenot lost between 25-40% of his 2010 production to the poor weather, although some of his lower lying parcels were down as much as 80%. Fortunately the Grand Crus were down only 15% on average. The harvest began on September 23. Taupenot reported that the fruit required some sorting in the winery.
