FAIVELEY
Mazis-Chambertin Grand cru 2011
- 98 points -

If I were French I’d describe this as “feminine”, but being English, I’d say it’s elegant, stylish and extremely pretty. The colour is very pale, with notes of violets and ginger spice on the nose, subtle oak and plush, textured red fruits. The wine is light and almost transparent in flavour, but its acidity gives it length and intensity. 2015-25
