Description
Characteristics and tasting notes of the Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru 2008 by Louis Latour
Tasting
Nose
The aromatic profile reveals intense scents of wild small black fruits, delicately accompanied by notes of damp forest and musk.
Palate
Both generous and velvety, the attack offers a balanced texture of remarkable aromatic richness.
Food and wine pairings
This great red wine pairs wonderfully with bold dishes, such as a venison stew, pan-seared doe served with peppered celery purée, or local cheeses like Soumaintrain. More broadly, it will enhance game meats and rich sauce-based preparations.
The structure and balance of a Burgundy Grand Cru
The estate
Officially founded in 1797, the Louis Latour House is a leading figure of Burgundy, established in Aloxe-Corton. This family-owned and independent estate spans 48 hectares, including 27 hectares classified as Grand Cru, making it the largest holder of these prestigious appellations in the region. Today led by Florent Latour, the house perpetuates exceptional expertise, relying notably on its own in-house cooperage. This major asset ensures perfect mastery of the ageing process. The estate has also been committed for around twenty years to a sustainable and environmentally respectful viticultural approach.
The vineyard
The vines behind the Mazis-Chambertin are planted at the heart of the Côte de Nuits, in the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin, in the immediate vicinity of the famous Chambertin. This exceptional terroir lies on clay-limestone soils. The vines, with an average age of around 35 years, benefit from special care, with yields kept around 30 hl/ha. The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand to ensure optimal berry quality.
Vinification and ageing
The making of this wine relies on traditional Burgundian methods. Fermentation is carried out in open vats, followed by a complete malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged for 10 to 12 months in medium-toast French oak barrels. These barrels, entirely crafted from new wood, are carefully made by the house's own cooperage.
Grape variety
This wine is made from 100% Pinot Noir.
