Harmand-Geoffroy Mazis-Chambertin 2017

95 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "As I mentioned above, Philippe and I sampled the Mazis in several different new oak percentages, making approximations of the blends with different casks, but the ninety percent version that will be bottled was by far the best (and a complete surprise to me!). The wine is going to be superb, as it delivers a youthfully complex and very pure bouquet of black cherries, dark berries, grilled meats, espresso, a very complex base of black minerality, a touch of Mazis’ vegetal signature aromatics and a good base of cedary new oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, complex and rock solid at the core, with superb transparency, ripe, fine-grained tannins and a very long, vibrant and nascently complex finish. This wine carries its new wood seamlessly and the higher percentage of oak gives the wine more vibrancy and precision- much to my surprise! Great juice. 2028-2080. (Nov/Dec 2018)"

95 points Tim Atkin, MW (Decanter): "Evenly divided between the high and low parts of Mazis-Chambertin, the domaine's six old-vine parcels cover 0.8ha in all. Still in its youthful stage right now, this is dense, serious and focussed. Asian spices, dark plums and a hint of mint are framed by 90% new wood. Drinking Window: 2025-2032. (Nov 2018)"

94 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2017 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru unfurls in the glass with a deep bouquet of cassis, spices, dark chocolate and coniferous forest floor. On the palate, it's full-bodied, layered and enveloping, with a voluminous core of fruit that's framed by powdery, supple tannins. Like the Lavaux Saint-Jacques, this derives from six distinct parcels. Drink: 2025-2045. (Feb 2020)"
