Description
The vineyards, which cover 1.55 ha, are planted on both the upper and lower slopes of Mazis. The shallow soils – mainly Premeaux limestone – combined with a low clay content, produce a seductive wine full of vitality and depth. A wine with considerable intensity in its youth, it bursts into the mouth with a wealth of fruity flavours. Sometimes delicate and fragrant, sometimes wilder and more masculine, its character is determined by the vintage. Mazis-Chambertin is an excellent wine that is worth cellaring and which gradually reveals its complexity over the years. The vines were planted in 1945, 1959, 1974 and 2020. Woody, spicy and red fruit aromas dominate the nose. The same exquisite flavours blend harmoniously on the palate. Well-integrated, supple tannins contribute to a persistent and pleasant finish. The wine is balanced, fine and elegant.
FACT : The wine is in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you come to pick up the wine you will often also receive a nice discount.

Wild and brooding, Faiveley's 2019 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru wafts from the glass with aromas of smoked meats, spices, wild berries and forest floor. Full-bodied, layered and sapid, it's broad and muscular, with a deep core of fruit and youthfully chalky tannins. This is a serious Mazis built for the long haul.
Jérôme Flous told me that Faiveley began picking on September 9, finishing by the 20th, and that yields averaged out at around 35 hectoliters per hectare in white and a little less in red. Comparing the 2019 vintage to "a more concentrated version of 2010," he admires—as I do—its vibrant fruit tones and refined tannins, finding it more elegant than 2018. The quality of the red wines chez Faiveley is old news, and for more information on this firm's evolution I direct readers to my report published in the August 2020 Week 1 issue of The Wine Advocate. It's worth underlining, however, how good the whites are these days: Flous tells me that he now includes fûts from Damy and Chassin in the white wine barrel program, and in the last few vintages, I've found the wines' new oak component better and better integrated.

Domaine Faiveley Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru 2019
Thursday, February 3, 2022
Country : France
Region : Burgundy
Vintage : 2019
Score : 98
Enormous structure here, the tannins resembling the perfectly toned muscles of a body builder, but this enormously dense wine also has excellent balance, the freshness at the widescreen finish lifting this huge mass effortlessly. Drinkable now, but better from 2023.

From: La Lumière Noire: 2019 Burgundy - Côte de Nuits (Dec 2020)
The 2019 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru was reduced on the nose, making it difficult to read at the moment, though the palate is certainly well balanced, featuring crunchy black fruit laced with red currant and a generous sprinkling of cracked black pepper toward the finish. Intuition tells me this is a great Mazis-Chambertin; it will just need time.

It has been two or three years since I last visited Faiveley, whose considerable diaspora of vineyards covers the length and breadth of Burgundy. Once I had worked out how to approach their impressive new winery in Nuits Saint-Georges through the maze of road works, I met Erwan Faiveley and winemaker Jérôme Flous. “The spring saw two cold weeks of weather, just above the temperature for frost and this stopped the vines growing during May," Flous explained. “Then between June and August it was very dry and hot with two heatwaves at the end of June and end of July. There was not much water...but just enough if you compare to 2020. We picked on 9 September and the Grand Crus in the middle of the month, the same as in 2009. We cropped the reds at just 30hl/ha. The skins were not too thick, so the wines are not too tannic. There was less stuck fermentation than in 2018 when we had to re-inoculate some of the vats. I decided to add more oxygen during fermentation, so did more remontage and thanks to this I think the yeast became more competitive. We learned that from some of the mistakes in 2018. Therefore, I find that the reds are concentrated and elegant compared to 2015 and 2016. Finally, it is becoming quite a classic vintage. Whilst 2018 is more rich and concentrated, 2019 is more delicate and Burgundy in style. You might compare 2019 to the 2010 vintage.”
Tasting Faiveley’s entire range would take about as long as inventing a vaccine to cure a global pandemic given the numerous négociant cuvées, so I focused on a selection from Domaine Faiveley. Certainly I find the wines continuing a trend to more finesse and approachability. Gone are the days when the wines were notoriously tannic and austere, sometimes never fully resolving to the frustration of those that had cellared them long-term. Faiveley oversaw a wonderful Les Saint-Georges, as you would hope, given they are one of the most prominent campaigners for promotion (although things have gone quiet on that front recently.) It must be a mighty challenge in terms of the logistics picking this vast array of vineyards at the optimal time in growing seasons where timing is becoming a vital determinant of quality and sometimes I feel that one or two cuvées maybe just missed that. Stylistically, they retain a sense of solidity, Pinot with a backbone. My pick of the reds were a superb Corton Clos des Corton Faiveley and a wonderful Chambertin Clos de Bèze. Actually, the most eye-catching cuvée turned out to be a splendid Bâtard-Montrachet that is frankly leaps and bounds above the Bienvenue Bâtard-Montrachet and an underwhelming Corton-Charlemagne. At the entry-level, I have always enjoyed their wines from the Côte Chalonnaise, where they own large chunks of vineyards in Mercurey.

The history of Domaine Faiveley dates back to 1825. The domain has been family-owned for 7 generations and is located in Nuits-Saint-Georges, in the heart of Burgundy. 127 ha Vineyards, spread over Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise, of which 12 vineyards with Grand Cru classification, 25 with Premier Cru classification and 6 vineyards with a "Monopole" classification. The estate is managed by Erwan Faiveley, who keeps the work in the vineyards in-house to control the quality of the grapes. The hand-picked harvest is carefully transported to 19th century vaulted cellars located in Nuits-Saint-Georges. To make great Burgundies, Erwan Faiveley combines the principles of modern oenology with traditional aging in French oak barrels. All this contributes to the fact that Faiveley wines are highly regarded.
