📜 Mazoyères-Chambertin
A red grand cru in Gevrey-Chambertin, often sold under the name Charmes-Chambertin.
Mazoyères-Chambertin is a red grand cru wine from the village of Gevrey-Chambertin in Burgundy. Grand cru is the top level of Burgundy vineyards. The name is protected as a geographical indication of the European Union and is listed in the eAmbrosia register.
The wine is made from Pinot Noir, like all red wines of the Côte de Nuits. It is still, meaning without bubbles. The vineyard is small, so there are few bottles under this name.
An interesting detail: the wine is often sold under the name Charmes-Chambertin. The neighbouring vineyard Charmes-Chambertin has the right to that name, and Mazoyères-Chambertin may be sold under it too. A label shows one name or the other.
The Côte de Nuits is the northern part of Burgundy's Golden Slope. The wine reflects the character of a place, not only of a grape, and that is why Burgundy names the vineyard so carefully. Burgundy divides vineyards by plot, so for a buyer the most important thing is to read the exact name and the producer on the label.
