The 2022 Confuron-Cotetidot Mazis-Chambertin is a Grand Cru Burgundy from one of Gevrey-Chambertin’s most structured and age-worthy vineyard sites in France’s Côte de Nuits. Produced exclusively from Pinot Noir by the respected Confuron-Cotetidot estate, this wine reflects the estate’s traditional style, emphasising depth, tannin structure and long-term development. The 2022 vintage delivered ripe fruit concentration balanced by freshness and vibrant acidity, resulting in a wine with both power and precision. The nose is deep and layered, revealing aromas of black cherry, wild blackberry and plum alongside violet, spice, forest floor and subtle smoky earth notes.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with firm yet refined tannins and bright acidity that provide structure and persistence. Flavours of dark berry fruits, red cherry and subtle blackcurrant are supported by savoury notes of liquorice, clove, dried herbs and restrained oak influence developed through careful maturation. The limestone-rich soils of Mazis-Chambertin contribute mineral tension and complexity, while the estate’s low-intervention approach preserves vineyard character and purity of fruit. The texture is concentrated and tightly wound in its youth, leading into a long, dry finish marked by lingering dark fruit, spice and earthy nuances that continue to unfold with air.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Grand Cru Burgundy for collectors and customers seeking a structured, cellar-worthy Pinot Noir with classic Côte de Nuits depth and ageing potential. The 2022 vintage combines concentration with freshness and should continue to evolve beautifully over the next 12–18 years. Best served slightly below room temperature with roast duck, venison, slow-cooked beef, mushroom dishes or aged hard cheeses.
