(92-95 points) A palish mid crimson. The nose was slow to come out but soon a fair volume of strawberry fruit begins to emerge, suggesting a depth of fruit behind. More alpine strawberry and pinpoint raspberry, then more...

Vinous, January 2023

(VN 93-95 points) The 2021 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru has a touch of reduction but there is more complexity vis-a-vis the Latricières, a mélange of red and black fruit, sous-bois and pressed flowers. The palate is...

Wine Spectator, August 2023

Cherry, boysenberry and floral flavors are the main themes, along with an earthy, feral note, shaded by sandalwood and sweet oak spices. This red is taut and linear as it plays out on the compact finish, and though...

The 2021 Faiveley Mazis Chambertin Grand Cru is a red Pinot Noir from Burgundy's famous Cote de Nuits region, specifically the Gevrey Chambertin appellation and Mazis Chambertin sub-appellation. Produced by Domaine Faiveley, this wine has garnered high praise from several esteemed reviewers.

Vinous' Neal Martin awarded the wine a score of 95 points, noting its complexity and balance. Martin observed, "The 2021 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru has a touch of reduction but there is more complexity vis-a-vis the Latricières, a mélange of red and black fruit, sous-bois and pressed flowers. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, well balanced, a liberal sprinkling of black pepper with a nicely focused and quite structured finish (for the vintage). Very fine."

Similarly, William Kelley of Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gave the wine 94 points, highlighting its structure and concentration. Kelley described it as "Deeper and more structured than the ethereal Latricières, the 2021 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru reveals aromas of red berries, orange zest, forest floor and a discreet touch of toasty new oak, followed by a full-bodied, layered and impressively concentrated palate."

Jasper Morris from Inside Burgundy also rated the wine highly, scoring it between 92 and 95 points. Morris noted the wine's evolving profile, stating, "A palish mid crimson. The nose was slow to come out but soon a fair volume of strawberry fruit begins to emerge, suggesting a depth of fruit behind. More alpine strawberry and pinpoint raspberry, then more tannins and a very peppery finish with good persistence of the little red fruits. This could be in brooding mode, and deserve more in due course."

Wine Spectator's B.S. echoed these sentiments with another excellent review, scoring it 95 points. The publication detailed the wine's intricate flavors: "Cherry, boysenberry and floral flavors are the main themes, along with an earthy, feral note, shaded by sandalwood and sweet oak spices. This red is taut and linear as it plays out on the compact finish, and though difficult to see where it's going, this is intense and long."

In summary, the 2021 Faiveley Mazis Chambertin Grand Cru is a highly regarded Pinot Noir that boasts complexity, structure, and a range of nuanced flavors. Its excellent reviews suggest it will age well, with optimal drinking windows extending from 2026 to 2045.
