1969 Thomas Bassot Mazis Chambertin
THE THEN BASSOT
Thomas Bassot was a well known burgundy winemaker back in the 60/70. I had some of his 50s wines that was singing. Unfortunately this bottle was in a borderline bad shape; I almost classified it as maderized as the nose was cooked and oxidized. However the palette was not too bad, apart from the dryness, it was very rich, sweet, loads of deep dark core fruits. Only pitfall was the rough and jagged fruits. Not quite a grand cru in my opinion despite the classification.
