Mazeyres 2021

The 2021 Château Mazeyres is based on 75% Merlot, with the rest Cabernet Franc (and a splash of Petit Verdot). It shows exotic red and blue fruits as well as the vintage’s fresh, sappy, floral character. It’s medium-bodied, with outstanding balance, fine tannins, and nicely integrated acidity. It’s very much in the floral, fresh, juicy style of the vintage and will offer plenty of pleasure over the next 10–12 years.

The 2021 Mazeyres has a well-defined nose with vivacious red fruit tinged with blood orange. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, quite ferrous in style with just a little attenuation towards the finish. Drink over the next 10 years.

This shows aromas of currants, bell peppers and licorice. It’s fresh and creamy with a medium body, fine tannins and an elegant, sleek finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

The 2021 Mazeyres bursts with aromas of cherries, blackberries and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate that's supple, vibrant and seamless. This is a strong effort that will offer a broad drinking window.
