Awards/Ratings
2021 received strong reviews (praised by Burgundy-Report). Domaine’s Mazis has high historic scores (Vinous/Stephen Tanzer: 95 for 2012; 94 for 2016). Vivino average ~4. 2/5; 5–14%

Tasting Note
Ripe red-cherry and raspberry core with violet, forest-floor and spicy notes; subtle coffee/earth. Medium–full, finely textured tannins, bright acidity and a saline, persistent finish. Elegant and ageworthy.

Food Pairing
Western: roast duck, venison, rib‑eye, beef short ribs, truffle dishes, aged Comté and other hard cheeses. Asian: Peking duck, char siu, miso‑glazed cod or aubergine, beef yakiniku or bulgogi, mushroom hot pot, soy‑braised short ribs.

Production Method
Organic viticulture, low yields and massal selection; partial whole-bunch fermentation, gentle extraction and 18–22 months in French oak with a portion of new barrels.

Vineyard Info
Family domaine founded 1964 (Confuron & Cotetidot), run by the Confuron sons; ~11 ha across Côte de Nuits with several Grand and Premier Cru holdings; uses a local Pinot selection.
