“We love the broad, nuanced palette offered by the nose. Floral notes, red fruits, and pepper, plum jam, hints of licorice and gentian—this is a wine of great finesse, flavorful and elegant. The palate is ethereal, displaying an airy texture and expressing delicate spices and subtly earthy notes. It’s literally a bridge between earth and sky. Mazeyres 2020 is flavorful, mouth-watering, and sap-like, marked by finely grained, jagged tannins. It is a fine success of the vintage.” (Terre de Vins 2021) - Delivery in a wooden case is available for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and selected shipping method)

Nose
Complex and full-bodied, with aromas of dark fruit and sweet spices. A hint of cedar and earthy notes, with a touch of iris. After some time in the glass, it becomes lighter and evokes juniper and gingerbread.
Mouth
Delicate, elegant tannins, good structure, and above all, a smooth, refined texture. A velvety, creamy mouthfeel. A very long, lively finish, marked by a briny quality combined with black fruit notes

3-star rating (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
As at Fonroque (Saint-Émilion), director Alain Moueix, a talented viticultural engineer and oenologist from a prominent family of winegrowers and merchants in Libourne, brings his commitment, expertise, and know-how to the table. The essential contribution of biodynamics has placed this wine on an upward trajectory in terms of quality, earning it well-deserved recognition. The resulting wines are lively and elegant. The latest vintages are particularly charming.

About wine:
If there is one style that truly stands out in the Pomerol landscape today, it is Mazeyres. This 2020 is simply dazzling, ripe without excess, possessing the freshness of a white wine, lending a stunning brilliance to the whole and brilliantly balancing the vintage’s power. Its caressing texture is enhanced by a smooth, velvety mouthfeel, highlighting its harmony and richness. Irresistible now, it will age gracefully.
About the estate:
Located at the northern entrance to Libourne, this large estate is managed by Alain Moueix. He applies the same cultivation philosophy here as he does at Château Fonroque in Saint-Émilion. The vineyard was certified organic in 2015, then biodynamic in 2018. Enhanced by the elegance and balance inherent in the Mazeyres terroir, the wines have reached new heights in recent vintages. We are captivated by these harmonious Pomerols, which are both refined and natural, with breathtaking finesse of flavor. The time has come for the first star.

A fresh, subtle, and delicate nose with soft notes of crushed strawberries, blackcurrant, violets, and spring flowers. Beautiful vibrancy! Juicy, round, and smooth on the palate, with incredible freshness and subtle aromatic intensity. Such precision in its elegance! Very fruity.
