It’s the first time I’ve tried wine from this producer. I met him in a restaurant on my last trip to Burgundy, he was very loud.
Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru 1999, Domaine Christophe Newman
A pure and elegant nose of red fruit, it is not especially complex. The alcohol stands out a bit. The palate is similarly hot and the tannins seem a bit dry. It is not especially complex or refined. It is a nice drink but hardly Grand Cru quality; it is a bit big and lacks finesse.
A shame. He seemed keen on making fine wine and has some good vineyards. I was disappointed.
