The Rousseau 2008 Mazy Chambertin impresses the nose with ripe cherry, licorice, and an array of pungent spices. The wine bursts onto the palate with juicy exuberance and tactile impingement of spices, and finishes with lip-smacking length, hints of cherry pit bitterness, peat, charred red meats, and crushed stone adding interest. Athletically lean and energetic, this might well gain richness of texture in bottle, and I wouldn’t hesitate to hold some for a dozen or more years.

Tasted out of barrel at the Domaine. Sulphur added in the last two weeks. The nose is well defined, good fruit concentration here although it demands some coaxing at the moment. Wild hedgerow, wild strawberry, raspberry and a touch of damp earth. Orange-blossom developing with aeration. The palate has a slightly chewy entry, hardness that should dissipate with further barrel ageing, although it maintains a firm backbone and rigid structure. Nevertheless the tannins are fine, there is great poise and there is more clarity than the Charmes. Orange peel and apricot on the citrus aftertaste. Tasted November 2009.
