Heresztyn-Mazzini
About Heresztyn-Mazzini
The quiet and unassuming neighbour of Pierre Duroché, Heresztyn-Mazzini has (finally) caught the attention of Neal Martin, who is not shy about directing the spotlight to this Domaine. Today we are thrilled to feature the 2019 range of this hidden gem that, in Neal Martin’s opinion, will make a fine substitute for Armand Rousseau!
“Their premier cru Les Champonnets will make a perfectly fine substitute if your allocation of Rousseau has been cut since there are stylistic similarities, and whilst I don't think their Morey-Saint-Denis quite hit the spot, their Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru is top class. For sure, their name does not quite trip off the tongue like Rousseau or Dugat, but the contents can be described in a two-syllable word...yummy.” – Neal Martin (Vinous)
The story of Heresztyn-Mazzini began with Jean Heresztyn, a Polish migrant who left Poland in the 1930s due to the ailing economy. He eventually found work at Domaine Trapet and by 1959, had saved enough to start his own Domaine. For many years, the domaine’s wines remained mediocre until Florence Heresztyn and her husband, Simon Mazzini, took over the reins beginning with the 2012 vintage. Under her charge, wines made a remarkable turn for the better and are now highly regarded, mentioned in the same breath as top names like Armand Rousseau, Dugat-Py and Pierre Duroché.

Burghound (91-93)Here too there is prominent wood influence framing the slightly higher-toned and marginally more complex aromas of red currant and blackberry fruits aromas that evidence notes of violet and plum. I very much like the sense of precision to the impressively rich and powerful full-bodied flavors that offer good volume and real drive on the sleekly muscled and firmly structured finish where the supporting tannins are slightly finer. |

Wine Advocate (92-94)Raised in 35% new oak with 55% whole bunch fruit, the 2016 Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru les Millandes has an engaging bouquet with black fruit, wet limestone and sea spray scents. It is beautifully defined and very focused. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, slightly grainy tannin. There is plenty of smoke-tinged, almost flinty black and red fruit with a very harmonious, quite structured finish that feels persistence and satisfying. This is one of the strongest contributions from Heresztyn-Mazzini. |

Vinous (91-93)The 2018 Morey-Saint-Denis Les Millandes 1er Cru is another cuvée that includes 100% whole bunch this year. It has a well-defined bouquet, the stemmy element not quite as pronounced as on the Gevrey Champonnet and more integrated with the fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity, and generous peppery black fruit laced with cedar and white pepper. The grippy finish needs time to abrade its edges. A traditionally cut Morey-Saint-Denis that needs to be consumed with food. Good potential here. |

Vinous (93-95)The 2019 Morey-Saint-Denis Les Millandes 1er Cru comes from vines over 70 years old and was cropped at 45hl/ha, the first vineyard to be picked in order to moderate alcohol. Containing 100% whole bunch, it has an intense bouquet of pine-needle-infused red and black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, and a little tarry toward the finish. Perhaps the most peppery of the domaine’s wines. I can see this aging beautifully. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-94)100% whole bunch vinification. 72 year old vines. Rich deep crimson purple. Not so much nose as yet, perhaps not one of the fresher samples. Quite a wealth of fruit though on the palate, red and black together, with a velvet touch then the dry spices which can be an example of the whole bunch style. The drier aspect disappears with ageing. Fine long finish after a plump mid palate. Tasted: December 2021 |
