Making sense of the complexity of the complexity of Burgundy isn’t easy.
Though Burgundy only comprises 5% of France’s vineyard area, it holds 100 different Appellations, 25% of the entire French total. There are no less than 5,000 growers, 85% of whom own less than 10 hectares, and four fifths of them make wine.

Domaine Faiveley, Mazis Chambertin, Grand Cru 2020
We tasted nine grand Crus from the Côte de Nuits chez Faiveley – and this one was arguably the most impressive. Remarkably high average vine age in this northernmost Grand Cru in the Côte de Nuits, some planted between 1930 and 1945, delivers fruit of amazing concentration. Tasted from a new barrel. Deep colour, brooding smoky nose, great power and depth of fruit – quite closed and demands time.
2027-2040+
"Lovely plum and blackcurrant fruit, with notable floral aromas, a bit of mineral, then hints of spice and smoke. The texture has a lovely richness, with plenty of structure and a firm tannic line, yet it remains approachable and supple. Faiveley owns 1.56ha in Mazis, which they picked at 13.5% potential alcohol in 2020. The grapes were partially destemmed and fermented with a very gentle extraction prior to ageing in 50% new casks. 2025 - 2040"
