"Mazis-Chambertin can often be one of the most sauvage grand crus in Gevrey, but the 2005 Faiveley is a polished and classy example of the vineyard. The nose offers up a complex and compelling mélange of dark berries, black cherries, bitter chocolate, blood orange, Gevrey black minerality and vinesmoke. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep and delivers superb focus, with great mid-palate depth, and great complexity and grip on the fine-grained and very long finish. This wine was raised in forty percent new oak, and yet there is very little sign of any wood at all in this wine. A seamless, intensely flavored and supremely elegant rendition of Mazis."

Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
The Cote de Nuits' largest Grand Cru commune, producing powerful, structured and deeply flavored Pinot Noir built for long aging.
2005 in Burgundy is a legendary vintage from a near-ideal, dry growing season; both reds and whites are concentrated, structured and superbly balanced, with dense tannins and exceptional long-term aging potential.
