Vinous (95)Medium red. Aromas and flavors of raspberry, blueberry, smoky minerality and exotic spices, with complementary oak tones. Wonderfully pliant and smooth but with peppery and saline elements restraining its sweetness and contributing to an impression of inner-mouth perfume and lift. A superb, tactile midweight with very suave tannins and outstanding juicy persistence. Very silky and not at all austere. |

Vinous (94)Moderately saturated bright red. Subtler on the nose than the Champeaux, showing a penetrating perfume to the aromas of raspberry liqueur and flowers. Plush, sweet and stuffed with red berries, spices and dried flowers, offering outstanding volume while maintaining its shape and avoiding any impression of heaviness. Quite spherical in the middle palate, then suave on the back end, finishing with late-arriving fine-grained tannins and resounding length. (This is a blend of Charmes and Mazoyères, from two different owners.) |

Vinous (93-96)Bright, dark red. A sexy note of flinty reduction to the aromas of raspberry, mocha, brown spices, smoke and underbrush. Silky and fine-grained but with terrific energy and lift to its sappy flavors of raspberry, minerals and spices. This penetrating, vibrant wine finishes with a firm tannic spine and terrific palate-stimulating length and grip. |

Vinous (92-94)Bright, dark red. Explosive Gevrey nose offers scents of raspberry, truffley underbrush and meat. Then super-concentrated and utterly seamless on the palate, with fruit-driven strawberry and raspberry flavors lifted by pungent minerality and complicated by a chocolatey nuance. Offers terrific delineation for such a velvety wine. Finishes with smooth, building tannins and excellent length and lift. A potentially great example of Cazetiers. |

Vinous (91-93)Bright, dark red. Red raspberry and exotic spice aromas are accented by a peppery stem element. Juicier and tighter than the Chambolle Les Lavrottes, showing a more restrained sweetness owing to its pungent spice and herb qualities. But this very long, vibrant wine finishes with a touch of underbrush and superb rising perfume. Incidentally, Bernstein owns these vines, as well as those from which he makes his Mazis-Chambertin. |

Vinous (96)The 2015 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru has a gorgeous, seductive, complex bouquet of intermingled layers of red and black fruit and touches of sous-bois, sage and rose petals. The palate is finely tuned and a little oaky at the moment, though the oak will be soaked up with time. This is well balanced, displaying a fine bead of acidity, impressive precision and a very persistent finish that is pure joy. An outstanding Mazis from Bernstein. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. |

Jancis Robinson (18)Partly his own vines now. 100% new oak. Barrel sample – already racked from barrel to barrel. Delicate aroma at once dark-fruited and rocky, crushed rocks. Darkly, elegantly fragrant. Dry, the tannins paper-fine. All in elegance even though the fruit is fully, darkly ripe. Again there is a hint of oak sweetness but very much in the background. Builds to a chewy but generously fruited finish. Excellent harmony in a baby wine. Lots of freshness within the powerful framework. (JH) |
