1995 Mazis-Chambertin Domaine Maume

My husband pulled out this 1995 Mazis-Chambertin Domaine Maume to have with our dinner of smoked steak and baked potato. I found it really interesting that a Burgundy could stand up to a steak but this one did. It was a very full bodied and very smooth Pinot Noir and paired very nicely with the steak. We had half a bottle left so the following night, we paired the wine with Asian lettuce cups. While not so successful a pairing, the Pinot Noir didn't clash with the Asian meal. You can see that the wine threw a lot of sediment, but this did not diminish our enjoyment of the wine.
In doing a little on-line searching, I came across an article that mentioned that Moray Tawse purchased Domaine Maume in 2012. The article goes on to say that the wines will continue to be made under the label Domaine Maume, and Bertrand Maume will continue on with his winemaking and vineyard duties at the Domaine. Pascal Marchand, partner in the Nuits-Saint-Georges negotiant, Marchand and Tawse, will oversee the Domain’s winemaking, working closely with Bertrand Maume. Pascal was quoted as saying “Working with such great vineyards is very exciting. These are some of the best terroirs in Gevrey-Chambertin.”
We have an interesting connection. My husband remembered that Domaine Maume was sold but forgot who it was sold to until I told him what I found on-line. The back story is that we have had a wine from Tawse when we were invited to Canadian Thanksgiving and I wrote about it in a blogpost in 2012 called Thanksgiving and Tawse. During the dinner, the name, Pascal Marchand came up often and we followed Pascal Marchand's winemaking journey in a movie called Grand Cru.
It will be interesting to taste a more current version of the Mazis-Chambertin and compare it with the 1995.
