Tasting notes
Deep crimson. Much bluer and blacker than most. Pretty savage and New Worldy on the nose. Very sweet and distinctive. Is this an Oliver Bernstein number? Or of that ilk? Muscular rather than mellifluous. Far from classical, but there is certainly ambition here. And it already delivers... Long. (JR)

The 2009 Mazis-Chambertin is silky, seductive and beautifully balanced from start to finish. The rich style that favors bold fruit is very much in evidence, but here it is nicely balanced by the wine’s other components. This should be a fairly accessible 2009 Grand Cru. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2024. The house style at Harmand-Geoffroy favors a rich, concentrated expression of fruit. Most of the 2009s were bottled in January 2011. I also had a chance to taste a selection of 2008s, which I generally think are superior to the 2009s here. The estate’s approach seems better balanced by the freshness and verve of that year.

Very dark crimson. Dense and bright cherry flavours. Some gas and freshness. Silky and fresh. (JR)
