Vintage Character Maison Aymé Vadim Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru 2015 comes from one of Gevrey-Chambertin’s most powerful Grand Cru sites in the Côte de Nuits. The 2015 vintage is widely regarded as outstanding in Burgundy: a warm, dry growing season produced small, concentrated berries, giving the wine both depth and generosity without sacrificing the freshness that keeps great Pinot Noir in balance. Mazis-Chambertin is prized for its position on the Gevrey slope and its classic limestone-clay terroir, which helps shape a style that marries dark-fruited intensity with the firm mineral backbone and sauvage nuance for which the commune is famous.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the nose, this wine shows black cherry, wild strawberry, red currant and violet, layered with spice, subtle oak, undergrowth and a touch of truffle. The palate is concentrated yet finely cut, with silky-to-velvety texture, vibrant acidity and tannins that give structure rather than weight, leading to a long, earthy, floral finish. Expect the authoritative frame typical of Mazis-Chambertin, but with enough precision to keep the wine lifted and graceful. It pairs beautifully with roast duck, venison loin with mushroom jus, or seared tuna.
Winery Background Maison Aymé Vadim is a very small, family-run Burgundy estate associated with hands-on vineyard work and a restrained, terroir-focused philosophy. The domaine is known for low yields, careful fruit selection and a minimal-intervention mindset aimed at preserving site expression rather than exaggerating extraction. In the cellar, the approach follows classic Burgundian practice, with traditional élevage in French oak and an emphasis on texture, clarity and balance. Its tiny production from Grand Cru parcels makes the wine especially compelling for collectors seeking an artisanal, limited-scale expression of Gevrey-Chambertin.
