The 2001 Dominique Laurent Mazis-Chambertin Cuvée A Grand Cru is a red Burgundy wine from the Mazis-Chambertin appellation in Gevrey-Chambertin, known for producing powerful, soft, and complex wines with a structure that allows for graceful aging. The 2001 Burgundy vintage was generally very good, despite a challenging growing season with a cold, wet winter and spring. Dominique Laurent is known for his focus on purity, often working with whole clusters and maturing wines without sulfur, using new barrels as a signature of the house. Tasting notes for the 2001 vintage describe a ruby red with bricking, a classy Burgundian nose of forest-floor, morello cherries, vanilla, and Asian spice. The palate is often noted for ripe, sweet crushed red berries, good inner mouth perfume of wood spice, medium acidity, and an earthy finish. Some also note earthy, green notes on the nose and a strong, long aftertaste. 【Powerful, soft, and complex Grand Cru with graceful aging potential】 🍴 This savory and classic Pinot Noir pairs exceptionally well with duck, goose, and other game birds. Its earthy and cherry notes would also complement roasted pork or mushroom-based dishes. 🥂 An excellent choice for a sophisticated dinner, a special anniversary, or a gathering of wine connoisseurs who appreciate a well-aged and complex Burgundy.
