2011 Domaine Armand Rousseau, Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru 1x75cl

JancisRobinson.com 17.0

Very fragrant and relatively lightweight. Crunchy and zesty. Very racy with lots of acidity. Chewy and only just obviously grand cru. Sinewy. [26/11/2012]

Vinous 91-93

Good bright, deep red. Wild, vibrant nose offers black cherry, black raspberry, minerals and spices; conveys a small-berry feel. At once dense and juicy; more masculine than the Charmes-Chambertin but also sappy and fined-grained. In a more backward style but already conveys excellent soil accuracy. Finishes with serious but well-buffered tannins and strong soil tones. [Stephen Tanzer, 01/01/2013]

The 2011 Mazy-Chambertin Grand Cru demonstrates more precision on the nose than the Charmes-Chambertin, a little more lift and vigor with pretty black cherries, cassis and dark chocolate scents. The palate is medium-bodied with some oak to be subsumed on the entry. There is good weight here, though it is not a complex Mazy-Chambertin compared to previous vintages. Still, it is showing fine composure and focus on the finish. Drink now-2020. [01/08/2013]
