Les Mazelots is the slope to the immediate northeast of the village and this climat has been vinified separately for the first time by Jean Podor (Stephan’s cousin) in 1985. This is an authentic field blend with 5% of César adding the tannins to the Pinot Noir in order to give more structure and depth to a wine capable of ageing 10 to 15 years. It spends one year in used oak barrels (sourced from Domaine Rossignol-Trapet, a producer in Gevrey-Chambertin) and bottles without fining or filtering. Generally speaking this wine needs 2 to 3 years of bottle ageing to soften the tannins.
