A restrained but still wonderfully spicy nose consists of ripe aromas of poached plum, violet, the sauvage, newly turned humus-suffused earth and slightly more evident wood. The middle weight plus flavors possess excellent intensity and muscle along with plenty of minerality that becomes more apparent on the beautifully long finish where the only nit is a trace of warmth. This is already quite harmonious and a wine that should also age effortlessly over the next 15 to 20 years. (Drink starting 2034)
Dense intense purple, offering a powerful nose here with a more mineral content, and a deeper darker fruit behind. Tasted after the Charmes-Chambertin, the Mazy delivers more weight and more structure, while retaining an excellent persistence. The fruit and alcohol are nicely balanced.
Rousseau has a half-hectare of old vines in Les Mazis-Bas which have produced a wine with a dark plummy fruit character and a very mineral style, revealing savoury notes of game and earth, which Cyrielle Rousseau attributes to the oolites in the bedrock beneath the site. There is plenty of intensity and grip, as well as a silky velvety richness that is endlessly gratifying. (Drink between 2024-2059)
