The 2018 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru (Maison Louis Jadot) appears to be one of the weaker links of the négoce range this year, revealing a rather figgy, roasted bouquet of dark fruits, baking chocolate and prunes. On the palate, it's full-bodied and seemingly a touch overripe. There is only one barrel this year.

The 2017 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru (Maison Louis Jadot) unfurls in the glass with aromas of dark wild berries, dark chocolate, incense, grilled game and forest floor. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, with a generous core of sapid fruit that cloaks its ripe tannins.

The 2016 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru has a brawny bouquet compared to the more refined Chapelle-Chambertin. This does not hold back with black fruit, dried blood and pressed flower aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly dry tannin, although I found the oak not singing from the same hymn sheet toward the finish, some wood tannins poking out. This feels like it needs more discipline.

The 2015 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru has a more complex, you could say more enigmatic bouquet than the Charmes-Chambertin, darker fruit with touches of seaweed and iodine, with aeration more floral scents such as crushed violet. It feels mercurial in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a touch of dried fig and Asian spice infusing the red berry fruit. What I appreciate is the structure and especially the precision towards the finish. This is classy.

The 2014 Mazis Chambertin Grand Cru has a very seductive bouquet with plush redcurrant and wild strawberry scents, briary and undergrowth developing with aeration. The palate is grippy on the entry with firm, slightly grainy tannin. There is something just a little disjointed on the finish...perhaps a few underripe berries that I could not discern on Jadot's other Gevrey grand crus. Let's see how it develops in bottle.
