Reviews:

• Vinous: This powerful wine has great structure, fine and elegant tannins, and ripe black fruits. It wears its heart on its sleeve. The concentration doesn't take away from the juicy fruit and wealth of complex flavors.

• James Suckling: Showing a mineral-driven personality with a distinctive, stony edge, this wine has saline tannins, silky textures and real density in the finish.
  

Producer Information

The 5 hectare Saint Emilion vineyard of Vieux Chateau Mazerat is planted to 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. You can divide the vineyard into two separate terroirs. In the larger section, which is where the majority of the vineyard is located, the terroir is clay over limestone soil. Here, you also find some very impressive old vines which date all the way back to 1947. The smaller second of their vineyards is located just between Chateau Angelus and the now famous vineyard of Jonathan Maltus used to produce Le Dome. That terroir is sand and Crasse de Fer soils. The vineyard is planted to a vine density of 5,795 vines per hectare. Because no actual cellars or chateau for Vieux Chateau Mazerat, the wine of Vieux Chateau Mazerat is made at their other estate, Chateau Teyssier. Everything moves by gravity in their modern cellars. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled wood vats. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels and the wine is aged in an average of 80% new, French oak barrels.
