Armand Heitz Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru: The Epitome of Burgundy Power

The Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru from Armand Heitz is a masterpiece of Pinot Noir, hailing from one of the most revered terroirs in the Côte de Nuits. This Grand Cru delivers the quintessential Gevrey-Chambertin experience: a wine of controlled power, profound complexity, and exceptional longevity. Armand Heitz’s commitment to sustainable and regenerative agriculture ensures that every bottle is a pure, unadulterated expression of this historic vineyard.

Tasting Profile & Terroir Expression

• Color: Deep ruby red, transitioning to a rich garnet hue with cellar age.
• Nose: A powerful and complex aromatic profile. Expect concentrated black cherry, dark berries, and forest floor (sous-bois), beautifully interwoven with sweet spice, and subtle notes of mocha or cigar box from the controlled oak aging.
• Palate: The structure is muscular yet impeccably refined. It offers great density and an elegant tannic frame that promises significant aging potential. The finish is remarkably long, echoing mineral and concentrated fruit notes.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

To fully appreciate this Grand Cru, serve it at 61-64°F (16-18°C). We recommend decanting younger vintages for at least an hour to let the full aromatic spectrum unfold.

• Food Pairings: Classic Beef Bourguignon, Pan-Seared Duck Breast with Cherry Reduction, Venison Stew, Mature Hard Cheeses (e.g., Aged Gouda, Mature Cheddar).
• Cellaring: Built for the long haul-it can be enjoyed now after aeration, but will develop incredible tertiary complexity over 15-20+ years.
