Domaine Ternynck, Mazelot, Irancy, Burgundy, France, 2019

Drinking Window: 2022 – 2029
Ternynck’s Mazelot bottling, made entirely from Pinot Noir, shows the wonderful diversity of the lieux-dits of Irancy. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts and judicious aging in mostly used French oak barrels allows the wine to convey the Janus-like duality of Burgundy – black cherry-like fruitiness and an earthy, savoury side. As with Ternynck’s Palotte, the winemaking team has created a silky and refined wine.
