Tasting notes
The 2021 Château Mazeyres is based on 75% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc (with a splash of Petit Verdot). It has exotic red and blue fruits as well as the vintage's fresh, sappy, floral-like character. It's medium-bodied and has outstanding balance, fine tannins, and nicely integrated acidity. It's very much in the more floral, fresh, juicy style of the vintage and is going to offer plenty of pleasure over the coming 10-12 years.

The 2021 Mazoyères has a light nose with brambly red fruit, tertiary scents and forest floor, nicely defined if just missing a bit of vigor. The palate is medium-bodied with quite a sweet and candied opening and fine acidity, blueberry and cassis hints surfacing toward the floral finish. It has a brightness that is perhaps absent in some of its Pomerol peers.
The 2021 Mazeyres bursts with aromas of cherries, blackberries and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate that's supple, vibrant and seamless. This is a strong effort that will offer a broad drinking window.
A smoked earth rusticity marks the opening beats of this wine, with attractive waves of crushed raspberry and redcurrant fruit, and some light peppercorn and capsicum notes. Medium term drinking, has estate signature just in a lighter voice.
