Domaine Armand Rousseau, Mazy-Chambertin Grand Cru, 2017
Rousseau is the benchmark of Gevrey-Chambertin, and Mazy-Chambertin — north of the more famous Chambertin proper — is among the most elegant of the village's nine Grand Crus. The 2017 vintage was warm but balanced, producing wines that felt classical even in their generosity: ripe red fruit, good acidity, accessible tannins. Now nine years on, this Mazy has shed its baby fat and is entering its first true drinking window. The Rousseau touch — earlier picking, partial whole-cluster, classical pigeage, aged in 228L pièces — gives it the perfumed lift and detail that mark this house at every level. A Grand Cru opening up beautifully, with decades still ahead.
