Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru has a slightly earthy, reticent bouquet at first, though it opens up with delicate dried rose petal scents. Understated but charming. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, quite structured with good density. Masculine in style with just the right amount of austerity towards the finish. This is "très" Mazoyères with a long tail on the finish and a touch of salinity lingering on the aftertaste. It does need time however. Tasted September 2016.
