(95-98 points) Faiveley’s sizeable holding of 1.30ha has been boosted by a further 0.30 from Dupont-Tisserandot. Imperial purple colour and a magisterial bouquet, what a wealth of fruit! There is an iron rich touch too, quite a red soil. Very dense indeed, a really substantial Mazis which shows the quality of this terroir. Excellent structure with a good tannin-acid balance. First class.

The palest of the Faiveley family's mouthwatering array of grand cru reds, this is almost indecently scented, sensuous and appealing. Red cherry and raspberry fruit flavours combine playfully on the palate, framed by understated oak and crunchy acidity.

This beautiful red evokes violet, raspberry, strawberry and kirsch aromas and flavors. Tightens up on the palate, showing more oak as this winds down on the finish. All the components are here, just needs time to come together. Terrific length. Best from 2023 through 2045. — BS

(92-95) Here the expressive nose isn't quite as toasty but it's still far from subtle while managing not to unduly mask the more sauvage-inflected dark berry and forest floor scents. There good density and solid power to the muscular yet reasonably refined flavors that also evidence ample minerality on the beautifully long finale where the supporting tannins are slightly riper. This too should age effortlessly and I often prefer the Latricières but in 2017, the Mazis appears to have a slight edge in quality.

The 2017 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru has a fulsome, seductive bouquet of maraschino cherries, crushed strawberry, orange blossom and light tangerine aromas. The palate is almost pixelated on the entry and shows wonderful acidity and mineralité. Tensile from beginning to end, culminating in a vivid, almost sorbet-fresh finish. This is a superb Mazis. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting. -- Neal Martin

94+ Bursting from the glass with a youthful but already expressive bouquet of dark berries, cassis, smoked meats and spices, the 2017 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a supple, open-knit core of succulent and delicately sun-kissed fruit, framed by ripe acids and melting tannins. This is a charming, satiny-textured Mazis that's going to offer a broad drinking window. What's more, I suspect that its early accessibility belies the fact that it will gain in depth and weight with some bottle age. - William Kelley
