Gevrey Les Corvées 2000*
With the Tortochot (and Gaby, Chantal's father did it before pocketing a few great wines in the Chambertin), the whole range is presented, or almost. We therefore have a good overview of the wines in the Domaine. The jury gave good marks to these "Corvées" situated between the Cross in the fields and the centre of the village. Tinged with burlat cherry, their flavour combines raspberry, redcurrent and stemwood. The palate is rich (smooth, good tannin intensity) and the result of a happy combination. Opulent, these "Corvées" are a noble race, as confirmed by a taster. A mention also for a Lavaux St Jacques 1er Cru 2000.

GUIDE DES SOMMELIERS 2003

Grand Cru Mazis-Chambertin 2000
an intense ruby cherry hue, with a sparkling blueish disc. A remarkably complex and expressive nose, a mix of very pure fruit aromas and a hint of liquorice. A very subtle and distinguished taste, a well-balanced texture, heightened by a lot of tannin, without being harsh. All in all, a Mazis-Chambertin that more than lives up to its prestigious Grand Cru label. For keeping until 2004.
Will be mature in 2005.
