Tasting notes
The 2020 Mazeyres opens in the glass with aromas of minty berries, plums, petals and spices. Medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, it's lively and sapid, with velvety tannins and a charming, perfumed profile. Incorporating a large percentage of Cabernet Franc and defined by sandy soils, this Pomerol estate is farmed organically and biodynamically.

Flowers, spice, red cherries, and red plums shine in the perfume. The wine is medium-bodied, soft, silky, and elegant, with freshness, refinement, and loads of spicy, fresh, vibrant red pit fruits with hints of strawberries, and pepper that comes in on the finish. Drink from 2024-2035.
Coming from some of the sandier soils in the appellation, the 2020 Château Mazeyres is perfumed and up-front, with a beautiful nose of ripe strawberries, framboise, spice, and flowers. It's not built around concentration or power but is ethereal, perfumed, complex, and medium-bodied, with soft tannins. It's as gulpable as they come and is a beautiful wine to drink over the coming decade.
The 2020 Mazeyres has a clean and pure bouquet, one of the more floral in style from Pomerol, red cherries commingling with wild strawberry and pressed rose petals. This is quite elegant. The palate is medium-bodied with lithe tannins, well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, hints of white pepper and allspice emerging towards its satisfying finish. This is a classy Pomerol from Alain Moueix.
