Vieux Château Mazerat Tinto

Description

“Vieux Château Mazerat – a truly ambitious project, driven by its owner’s vision – is poised to be a formidable force. Situated amongst neighbours like Canon and Angelus, this wine boasts a lineage stretching back to the 60s and is already generating considerable buzz, with Jeb Dunnuck awarding it a remarkable 97+/100. Built on a foundation of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc, nurtured by a clay-rich limestone terroir, it’s a wine brimming with complexity. Production is meticulously controlled, limited to just 30 hectolitres per hectare, reflecting a dedication to achieving absolute perfection. As David Peppercorn noted, this wine was always destined to be a ‘Cru Classé’, and now, thanks to new French oak ageing, that promise is undeniably fulfilled. It’s a wine best enjoyed alongside richer red meat dishes – a robust pairing that demands a wine of substantial character.”
