Jean-Marie Fourrier, Mazoyeres Chambertin Vv Size:3x750ml Pierre Lurton and technical director

Pierre Lurton and technical director Pierre-Olivier Clouet told me that the final blend is 72% merlot and 28% cabernet franc (it was 75% merlot and 25% cabernet franc during the Primeurs)

but the underlying acidity keeps it all fresh and pure

This too will require patience

Black cherry and blackcurrant fruit with some licorice and truffle are all present in this dense purple wine

with latent fruit to balance the structure

Jean-Marie Fourrier, Mazoyeres Chambertin Vv Size:3x750ml Pierre Lurton and technical directorHere the grudging nose only reluctantly gives up its much gamier aromas of red berries, earth and soft floral nuances. There is excellent intensity to the powerful and muscular flavors that pack plenty of punch as well as solid mid palate density before culminating in a sleek and stony finish that delivers fine depth and outstanding length. This is really quite good but note well that its going to require plenty of cellar time first. (91 94) 2029+
