POVs on Mazis

[Glen_Gold]

Talk about random…just stumbled upon this thread, and can say that I had never had a Mazis (let alone a 2014, per the OP), until literally 30 minutes ago.

I’m in London and popped into Hedonism. Talk about a jaw dropping shop (wall of chateau d’yquem, tons of DRC, screagle, etc etc). Anyways on a whim I picked up a half bottle of 2014 Faiveley Mazis. And I opened it 30 minutes ago. It would probably be better in 2024 and better yet in 2034, but in February 2019 it’s a really nice half bottle of wine. Nose jumps right out of the glass, very floral but also smoky. Delicate. Red fruit. Nice length. Could be more concentrated for my palate but it’s quite good in my book.

This is good information. Thank you.

Anyone have the '14-'17 Marchand-tawse-Maume Mazis recently? How was it? Worth their price?

I’ve had a couple bottles of the 98 Faiveley Mazis which I’ve really enjoyed. On the bigger and slightly less refined side of Burgundy, but very nice all the same with a good it of power.

Rousseau has always been my favorite. Outside of that, Jadot has been very solid with a couple stellar bottles…I think you had one of those 2006s I opened, too.

How was the '06 Jadot Mazis? We’ve got one kicking around the cellar that we took a flyer on and have no idea when to open or what to expect.

[Mike_Evans]

A recent 1995 Jadot was lovely.

I like the Mazis-Chambertin from Harmand-Geoffroy, which is also quite affordable.

I have also enjoyed Mazis-Chambertin from Harmand-Goeffroy.

[Howard_Cooper]

Harmand Geoffroy are old school, and need time.
Not early flatterers at all.

If one is not going to age Grand Cru Burgundy, why buy it?

Opened a 93 rousseau mazi/y last month and it was delicious and still quite young.

I am sitting on a few bottles of that, should open one soon.

Hey buddy, hope you’ve been well! Still so greatful for all the info you gave me about Corton and more a little while back.

I just scored a pristinely stored 2002 Roty Mazis. Have you ever tried that one?

Thanks!!

[dcornutt]

Haven’t tried it Paul. I love Roty!

[PaulN]

I have gotten a few things from these guys that I’m so excited to try:

2005 and 2009 Charmes TVV
2001 Griotte
2002 and 2014 Mazis

Seems like the GC’s are out there in minute quantities.

A whole bunch of it though in 6 and 12 packs in the current HDH Auction. Like the guy who was the deBeers of Roty, selling his whole collection.

Recently I was served a Mazis Chambertin blind. Texturally I thought it was Chambolle. Red fruited and floral on the nose. Incredibly aromatic. Red fruit core on the palate. Long finish. It ended up being a 2007 Harmand Geoffroy Mazis Chambertin. Elegant and mineral. I loved it.

Another 07 success!

I have that Geoffrey in ‘09 and ‘10. Had one if the 2009’s and it was big and dark and quite muddled. It came together and improved by maybe 20% over a couple hours, but was still good but not great. Will wait some years before opening another.

That’s pretty typical of the vintage, 10 would likely drink better.

[PaulN]

U think the ‘09 will improve in time?

[MChang]

@PaulN

U think the ‘09 will improve in time?

Of course. Didn’t you read the posts on the other thread where I thought 09 would be better than 10 in time? A lot of the wines just aren’t ready because it’s a very structured vintage.

[PaulN]

Ah, yes, I would have assumed that, based on you saying that ‘09 might beat ‘10 in a number of places. just wondered if you had experience with this specific wine…

I had that wine a number of years ago but not recently. It was drinking well early on but so were a lot of 09s. The 10 I haven’t had in many years but would expect it to be open.

Micheal, how does the experience with Marechale jive with ‘Producer Producer, Producer’?
