Domaine Faiveley
Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru
This climat is named after the small houses known as “Mazis” that used to be present on this parcel. It is the most northern of the Gevrey-Chambertin Grands Crus. Our parcel lies in the” Mazis Haut” (upper Mazis) and offers a unique terroir composed of an alluvial cone where scree from the valley has gathered. The wines produced in this climat are seductive, lively, and very deep
This 1.56-hectare plot, planted between 1930 and 1945, as well as in 1959, 1974, and 2007, is composed of shallow soils with eastern exposure and is farmed organically.

This wine reveals a deep ruby-red hue and intense notes of oak, spice, and red fruits on the nose. The palate offers the same aromas and the nose with a harmonious combination of fruity and oaky notes. With its smooth tannins and long, lingering finish, this well-balanced wine is the epitome of elegance.

"Laced with alluring notes of cherry, blackberry, pomegranate and spicy oak, this red is supple and dense. Lively acidity helps keep this balanced while corralling the flavors on the extended, iron-tinged finish. Shows superb harmony, texture and length."
— Bruce Sanderson, 2024
