The 2018 Château Mazeyres is a beautifully expressive Pomerol from one of the appellation’s most historic estates. Situated on the gravel and clay soils of Pomerol, Château Mazeyres has embraced organic and biodynamic farming to produce wines that reflect the purity and character of their terroir. The exceptional 2018 Bordeaux vintage delivered outstanding ripeness, concentration and balance, resulting in a wine that combines richness with remarkable freshness and elegance.
The nose reveals black plum, blackberry and dark cherry alongside notes of violet, cocoa and subtle truffle. The palate is rich and velvety, with layers of ripe dark fruit supported by silky tannins and vibrant acidity. Hints of graphite, cedar, liquorice and earthy complexity add depth, while the finish is long, polished and beautifully harmonious. Predominantly Merlot-based, the wine displays the plush texture and sophistication that have made Pomerol one of Bordeaux’s most sought-after appellations.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A refined and characterful Pomerol that offers both immediate appeal and excellent ageing potential. Rich, elegant and highly food-friendly, it pairs beautifully with roast lamb, beef fillet, duck, mushroom dishes and truffle-infused cuisine. Enjoy with a decant if drinking now, or cellar through 2040–2045 as it develops greater savoury complexity, tertiary character and classic Pomerol charm.
