Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru Armand Rousseau (Domaine) 1996

The wine

Domaine Armand Rousseau’s Mazis-Chambertin uses the old spelling for the climat , "Mazy-Chambertin" on its label. This marvellously robust, tannic and muscular wine releases magnificent and very persistent dark and red fruit flavours on the palate. A wine with very extensive aging potential.

About the Producer Armand Rousseau

The domain was established in 1902 by Armand Rousseau who, when he reached adulthood, inherited several parcels of vines situated in the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin, in Burgundy. Over the years, he continued to expand his domain by purchasing Grands Crus such as Clos de la Roche, Mazis Charmes or even Chambertin. In 1954, he bought the First Growth Clos-Saint-Jacques in the name of his son Charles. It is now Eric, the son of Charles, and grandson of Armand who runs the domain. Producing exclusively red wines, the domain has established itself with its legendary cuvées such as Lavaux Saint Jacques or Chambertin as one of Burgundy’s icons. The most beautiful expressions of Pinot Noir are undoubtedly in these wines.
