The 2019 Vieux Château Mazerat might be my favorite wine in the lineup from Jonathan Maltus, and it's just a stunning wine that shows the classic, elegant style of the vintage beautifully. Cassis, black cherries, loamy earth, chalky mineral, and dried flower notes all emerge from the glass, and this beauty is medium to full -bodied, has flawless balance, plenty of silky tannins, and a great, great finish. It's stunning stuff that will benefit from 5-7 years of bottle age and cruise for 25-30 years in cold cellars.

Quite different in feel and weight than the others in the Maltus range, this is a little fresher, with higher Cabernet Franc that gives it a sense of reserve. Iris notes curling around the dark fruit, and a tannic frame that demands a good few years in bottle. As it unrolls in the glass glass you see the complexity and tight blueberry and blackberry fruits. 3.76pH. 80% new oak.

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Vieux Château Mazerat delivers pronounced, purely expressed notes of ripe black plums, black raspberries and boysenberries with suggestions of cedar, chocolate box, camphor and pencil lead plus a touch of cumin seed. The medium to full-bodied palate has a sturdy frame of grainy tannins and oodles of freshness supporting the black fruit layers, finishing long and mineral laced. Vieux Château Mazerat is from the JCP Maltus portfolio of skillfully crafted Saint-Émilion wines. Neil White is the head winemaker, and Thomas Duclos is a consultant here. This vineyard is bordered by Château Canon on three sides and by Angélus on the fourth side. It includes a parcel of Cabernet Franc that was planted in 1947 on clay over limestone. 92-94
