Description

A red wine from Pomerol by Château Mazeyres

The estate

Located in the heart of Libourne, Château Mazeyres is an iconic property of the Pomerol appellation on Bordeaux’s Right Bank. The estate boasts ancient origins, dating back to Roman times. Since 1992, Alain Moueix has led Château Mazeyres with talent and passion, bringing his viticultural expertise and know-how.

The vineyard

The vineyard of Château Mazeyres covers 23.82 hectares of vines situated in the heart of the Pomerol appellation in an exceptional location. The vines have been cultivated biodynamically since 2012, with Biodyvin certification by Ecocert obtained in 2018. The vineyard of Château Mazeyres is planted on the western and southern terraces of the appellation, with three different types of terroir present. There are fine clay gravel soils, clayey sands, and gravelly-sandy clays. The uniqueness of these soils gives Château Mazeyres wines their distinctive personality and signature velvety mouthfeel.

The vintage

A vintage of contrasts, 2020 began with an exceptionally rainy winter followed by a warm, humid spring that encouraged high mildew pressure. Flowering was uneven depending on grape variety, terroir, and weather conditions. While the summer was marked by hot, dry weather, the mid-August rain episodes were a blessing for the vineyard. The combination of these factors led to lower yields. Harvesting began earlier than usual, allowing the picking of perfectly ripe berries and bringing great generosity to this vintage.

Vinification and aging

Aging took place in 54% barrels and large casks, and 46% in 7 hl egg-shaped concrete vats, amphorae, and small vats.

Blend

Château Mazeyres 2020 is a blend of merlot (72.5%), cabernet franc (25%), and petit verdot (2.5%).
