Faiveley Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru 2022

99 points/'Top 100 Wines of 2024 (#93),' Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "Almost perfect red cherry nose! Ripe, densely concentrated and tightly wound. Staggering intensity and brilliance at the almost endless finish. What amazing finesse! Can't wait to taste this from bottle! (11/3/24)"

96-99 points Fine Wine Review: "Like Latricières-Chambertin, Faiveley’s Mazis-Chambertin has always been in my top tier from that vineyard. Erwan Faiveley says he thinks this wine may be his greatest 2022. The nose here is fabulous and complex in its raspberry combinations. The mouth shows crushed raspberries, purity, clarity, precision, length, and finesse. As should be the case with Mazis-Chambertin, there are fireworks going off in the mouth —- Mazis is the Richebourg of the Chambertins. In addition, the wine has a cashmere texture and incredible freshness and energy. (8/24/23)"

94-96 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2022 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is deep and brooding, unwinding in the glass with aromas of minty cherries and dark berries mingled with spiced plums, orange zest and peony. Full-bodied, broad and enveloping, with an ample core of fruit framed by supple tannins and animated by bright acids, it concludes with a pure, saline finish. (1/18/24)"

94-96 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2022 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is missing the same cohesion and presence as the Latricières at the moment, though it has an attractive rose bush/potpourri scent that emerges with time. The medium-bodied palate has a tad more angularity than the Latricières and fine mineralité, edgy and linear with a strict, tensile, lightly spiced finish. What you might term a "grower", aloof, but the sapidity draws you back. Excellent. (Jan 2024)"

93-96 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Mid crimson with some depth. Dark raspberry, a little soupy at the moment but with good depth behind. The fruit covers the structure, as the tannins are fairly firm. The raspberries freshen up, gain in precision compared to the first mouthful. Not perhaps showing at its best on the day – there may well be more too this. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted: October 2023."

95 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com): "Grilled plums, black cherry cordial, North African spices and a whiff of reduction provide a dramatic introduction. Everything on the palate emphasizes freshness between the pronounced acidity, crunchy tannins and bouncy, mid-weight body. This super-charged wine deserves time to unfurl in the bottle. There are 1.6 hectares here with a wide range of ages, but Erwan Faiveley said that some of the oldest vines have been pulled out. (2024)"

93-95 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from both Mazis Haut and Bas where the two parcels total a remarkable 1.20 ha). Toasty reduction knocks down the nose but there is fine freshness and richness to the suave and seductively textured bigger-bodied flavors that are generously proportioned while displaying both good tension and complexity on the impressively persistent and more powerful, if less refined, finish where a hint of wood appears. This isn't quite as mineral-driven but save for a subtle touch of warmth, it's beautifully balanced and should amply repay extended cellaring. Drink: 2037+. (Jan 2024)"
