 It is not as sophisticated as a Rousseau Chambertin (heaven forbid!) however one could argue that this is cut from a similar cloth.-- Neal Martin

 

Chantal Tortochot-Michel currently tends the vines assisted by no less than Marsannay superstar Sylvain Pataille.

 

The 2013 vintage was the first to be certified organic. The grapes are sorted in both the vineyard and in the winery and that the fruit is 100% destemmed.

 

The vineyard itself is situated on a subsoil of marl, covered by a thin surface of scree and the finest silt. Brown chalky soil developed over these deposits. The Tortochot parcel, located at the highest part of the vineyard, is much whiter and very marly. This type of soil slows down the vegetative cycle and imparts this gem of a wine with an exquisite and rare balance.

Tortochot's Mazi Chambertin has won multiple awards at the Concours General de Paris including 2 gold medals, a silver medal. Mazi-Chambertin borders both Chambertin Clos de Beze and Ruchottes Chambertin. It is always in very short supply from any vintage much less the heralded 2019.
