Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru Cuvée Madeleine Collignon 2023

163th Hospices De Beaune Wine Auction on the 19st November 2023.

This magnificent Grand Cru parcel was donated to the Hospices in 1976 by Jean Collignon and named in memory of his mother.  

Magnificent parcel in the heart of the hillside in the Mazis Hauts, on the same slope as the Chambertin Clos de Bèze. The soil is rich in a mixture of pebbles, scree and very red clay. The nuance of this terroir is immutably expressed in the wines. The Pinot is dense, with silky, elegant tannins. The finish is always rounded and generous, a guarantee of good longevity. 

The most intensely saturated colour of all the Grands Crus. Plums, raspberries, fresh peaches, fine acidity, something of everything. There are waves of flavour flooding across the palate to a perfectly pitched finish. Remarkably harmonious.
