Domaine Heresztyn-Mazzini
Following a decade working on the family vineyard Florence Heresztyn with her husband Simon Mazzini (from Champagne) decided to create their own Domaine, which today covers 5.5 hectares spread across the villages of Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-Saint-Denis, and Chambolle-Musigny.
At Domaine Heresztyn-Mazzini, every action is deliberate and thoroughly researched, from the vine to the cellar. Florence and Simon respect the environment and use environmentally friendly pest control, and spend a lot of time out amongst the vines, carefully monitoring their growth.
With the experience of six winemaking seasons behind them, they have chosen whole bunch fermentation to give both structure and texture to the wines, which are matured for 12-16 months in barrels from carefully selected coopers. The wine is bottled on the estate, according to the lunar calendar. Florence and Simon are focused on achieving the best from their vineyards in the Cote de Nuits, the elegance of Chambolle-Musigny, the depth of Gevrey-Chambertin, and the complexity of Clos-Saint-Denis.
Tasting Notes
Grapes/Blend
100% Pinot Noir
Vinification
We are as gentle as possible in order to retain the wine’s initial flavours. The fermentation process begins using the naturally present yeast, following a pre-fermentation cold maceration process. Regular pigeage. This wine is made using 50% whole bunches.
Maturation
In oak barrels (35-40% new wood) for 16-18 months.
Palate
A great red wine made to be aged. Rich, complex, elegant... this wine has it all. Nuanced aromas of black fruits, spices, and a hint of mocha.

The aromas to this are so complex and spellbinding with rose petals, sandalwood and stones. Hints of almonds. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and an intense finish. Shows fantastic tension and compression. Precise line to the wine. Drink in 2022.
