Mazis Chambertin Grand Cru Cuvée Madeleine Collignon 2016 1500ml156th Hospices De Beaune Wine Auction on the 20th November 2016 Mazis Chambertin Grand Cru Cuve Madeleine Collignon Hospices de Beaune 2016 A fine elegant medium deep purple, with a sublime elegance on the nose, very lively, showing raspberry and alpine strawberry flavours. This is fine boned and racy, very classy indeed. In many ways it is the complete opposite of the power of the Clos de la Roche: this is more the ballerina style of Burgundy. The

pliant and velvet-texture medium-bodied flavors terminate in mildly grippy and short finish

soon unfurling to reveal expanding notions of warm blackberries

revealing delicate notes of red and black plums

the red fruit infused with cooked meat

opening nicely in the glass and offering raspberry coulis

Champagne lovers "nature" will find freshness and summer scents

and tiny amounts of the other permitted varieties

cold wet stone

There is a delicious dancing quality to the fruit that fills out the bouquet with raspberry and blueberry notes

The nose is a bouquet of aromas that has evolved over the 5 years of aging in our cellars

the palate has jaw-dropping elegance and depth

Grape Variety: 66% Grenache
