Château MAZEYRES
Red
- 2016
- Pomerol
This beautiful 24-hectare estate has been run by Alain Moueix since 1992. He applies the same philosophy and methods as at Fonroque (Saint-Émilion): organic farming since 2015, biodynamic certification in 2018, search for freshness and elegance through controlled extractions... Mazeyres offers delicate and measured wines, without blush, with a great finesse of flavor that increases even more in recent vintages.
The 2016 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2018): 91/100 "The 2016 Mazeyres presents an exotic profile laced with bright, high-toned aromatic and super-ripe red fruits. Blood orange, mint and floral notes all run through the wine this a decidedly overt style of pomerol and yet the 2016 remains gracious and medium in body, with the perfume that is typical of sandier soils."

The 2022 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 92/100 "The 2022 Mazeyres is aromatic, bold and racy. Crushed flowers, sage, mint, spice, many of them in cooler spots within Pomerol, which was certainly a help in 2022. As a result, this retained terrific energy. Lifted floral and savory notes extend the clean, bracing finish."

The 2021 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 92/100 “This Pomerol is a must-have. We find the château's signature style, with the brilliance of fruit that characterizes it.”
Vinous (N.Martin - November 2023): 89/100 “The 2021 Mazeyres has a light nose with brambly red fruit, tertiary scents and forest floor, nicely defined if just missing a bit of vigor. The palate is medium-bodied with quite a sweet and candied opening and fine acidity, blueberry and cassis hints surfacing toward the floral finish. It has a brightness that is perhaps absent in some of its Pomerol peers.”

The 2019 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (September 2022): 94/100 “Even as the black fruit evokes great ripeness and the alcohol reaches not inconsiderable levels, Alain Moueix's biodynamic Pomerol is animated by a seductive vibration, a welcome chlorophyll breath. The naturalness of the palate and the lively character of the finish are a delight".

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2023): 94/100 “Even in the sunniest vintages, the wines retain admirable freshness. Mazeyres 2018 is a brilliant example of this, fitting perfectly into this dynamic of primacy of fruit. Already very appealing, the wine nevertheless possesses real potential for evolution.”

The 2015 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2017): 91/100 "The 2015 Mazeyres is pretty, savory wine with quite a bit of aromatic intensity that matches its mid-weight personality well. Crushed flowers, mint, rose petal, tobacco and sweet red cherry are all nicely delineated. Silky tannins add finesse to this approachable, mid-weight Pomerol."
