Rousseau Mazy-Chambertin Grand Cru 2014

97 points Tim Atkin, MW: "A blend of Mazis-Bas and Mazis-Hauts , this is all about fruit purity and focus and only sees 10% new oak. Stylish, elegant and chalky, with lacy tannins and a saline note, it’s a delicate, nuanced Pinot Noir that lingers on the palate and in the memory. 2019-28. (2016)"

97 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "A rich style, until the firm structure of vibrant acidity and dusty tannins reveals itself, supporting plenty of cherry, black currant, tobacco and mineral flavors. The essence of black currant lingers on an ethereal frame. Best from 2023 through 2042. 56 cases imported. (9/20/17)"

92-94 points Neal Martin (Wine Advocate): "The 2014 Mazy Chambertin Grand Cru saw 10% new oak and a touch of reduction appeared to accentuate that. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. I like the weight here. There is more body and density than the Charmes-Chambertin, though with the same finesse on the lightly spiced finish. Once the aromatics sort themselves out, this will be a very fine Mazy-Chambertin, though the Charmes has more charm. Drink: 2018-2038. (Dec 2015)"

91-94 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from Mazis-Bas) Moderate reduction renders the nose unreadable. On the plus side there is really lovely freshness and energy to the tautly muscular and slightly more concentrated medium weight flavors that culminate in an overtly austere and powerful yet not hard finale that goes on and on. This is really quite serious and note well that it's not an especially good candidate for early drink. Drink: 2029+. (Jan 2016)"

93+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2014 Rousseau version of Mazy-Chambertin is an absolutely quintessential expression of this fine terroir, wafting from the glass in a black fruity blend of sweet dark berries, black cherries, coffee bean, black minerality, a touch of currant leaf, roasted game and a discreet topnote of cedar. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very, very pure on the attack, with great transparency, a lovely core of fruit, ripe tannins and a very, very long, tangy and laser-like finish. 2025-2075. (Nov/Dec 2015)"
