Goedhuis, December 2021
One of the most central lieux-dits in the village, just below 1er Cru Champs-Gains. Thierry likes to bottle this parcel separately because he feels it is such a classic representation of the village wines. A beautifully charming Chassagne, balancing bright citrus and blood orange fruits with a creamy velvet-like texture, a very gentle touch of acidity and rewarding finish of vanilla ice cream.

Jasper Morris MW, January 2022, Score: 92-94
Pale lemon colour again with a light reduction. More intensity. More linear, white and yellow plums, more backbone, delicious salinity behind the flesh and again very long. The regular Chassagne-Montrachet seemed more or less perfect, but the Mazures cuvée takes it even a little further.

Third generation wine growers, Paul began managing the family domaine in 1968, taking over from his father, Henri. It was his father that decided to begin bottling their own wines after the First World War. Paul further developed the domaine by increasing the family's vineyard holdings with various Chassagne Montrachet Premier Crus - many located on the well-draining top slope positions.The domaine now boasts a respectable 13 hectares from which they produce 15 wines. Today, Paul's oldest son Thierry has taken over the majority of winemaking responsibilities and hasdone so over the past few vintages. According to Paul, Thierry has a sort of ‘sixth sense' way ofdoing things which has only enhanced the wines' innate qualities. All we know is that they aredelicious and truly display a magical attribute that can only come from a master.Read less

Region
Chassagne Montrachet
The white wines of Chassagne Montrachet can be difficult to distinguish from Puligny. At their most typical they are slightly fleshier and more hedonistic, but are often just as mineral and refined making the two almost inseparable. When distinguishable, they offer notes of honeysuckle, lime blossom and honey. Many have become quite approachable when young. It is larger than Puligny with vineyards totalling over 330 hectares. Though it shares both the grand cru vineyards of Le Montrachet and Bâtard Montrachet, it has sole ownership of the miniscule Criots Bâtard Montrachet. Similar to Puligny, Chassagne also grows Pinot Noir, which can be austere when young. A small amount of red Chassagne is also made.
