Philippe Charlopin-Parizot, Mazis Chambertin Vintage:2020 (from vines in Charmes-Dessus)

(from vines in Charmes-Dessus)

spice-accented red and dark berry and cola flavors and an undercurrent of smoky minerality

The finer but markedly less powerful medium weight flavors possess a succulent mid- palate yet no lack of detail on the nicely dry and persistent but not really austere finale

especially in a classic vintage such as this

It matured in 100% new French oak barrels for 26 months

Philippe Charlopin-Parizot, Mazis Chambertin Vintage:2020 (from vines in Charmes-Dessus)(from Mazis Hauts). This arguably possesses the most complex nose in the range with its intensely floral aromas of various dark berries, earth, sauvage and an interesting hint of tangerine peel. The broad shouldered, powerful and concentrated flavors are saline to the point of being almost salty before culminating in a wonderfully long, balanced and compact finale. This is a wine to buy and forget you own for at least a decade. In a word, excellent.
