Domaine Tortochot’s 2019 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is a 100% Pinot Noir from one of Gevrey-Chambertin’s most respected Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte de Nuits. Tortochot is a long-established, family-run domaine based in Gevrey, with significant Grand Cru holdings, and it frames its top wines as “the ultimate expression of terroir,” crafted with “infinite attention to detail, from vine to bottling,” to show “subtle nuances of each vineyard,” according to the estate.

In the vineyard, Tortochot reports organic viticulture, including the use of Bordeaux mixture (copper-sulfate) when needed. In the cellar, the domaine describes a traditional approach with full destemming and careful sorting (both manual and by machine) before fermentation—an exacting regimen aimed at keeping only the best fruit. The 2019 growing season began early after a mild winter and sunny spring, helping bring ripe raw material to the cellar; the domaine characterizes the year as rich, and compares subsequent 2020 wines to 2019 in ripeness (with 2020 showing slightly higher acidity).

Critically, the wine has landed an excellent review from Burghound, which scores it 93 points. Burghound highlights a Mazis that combines power with site character: “spicy red and dark berry aromas” alongside “plenty of earth and sauvage nuances.” The review notes that “the wood treatment is a bit more prominent,” but the core is described as substantial and structured, with “big-bodied, intense and muscular flavors” and “evident minerality” driving a “balanced, palate coating and impressively long finale.” The same reviewer concludes that “patience will be beneficial,” signaling a Grand Cru built to develop further in bottle.

Overall, Tortochot’s 2019 Mazis-Chambertin reads as a serious, mineral-leaning Gevrey Grand Cru in a ripe year, offering depth now but clearly geared toward rewarding time in the cellar.
