September 22, 2023 - A pretty nose of sweet earth, rose petal and red fruits. Silky in the mouth. Mid-weight, nicely proportioned and balanced. Some Gevrey sauvage. A fine finish that calmly expands and lingers.

December 5, 2022 - So I read the TN below, and for my taste I agree with parts of it….first off there is a clear delineation between Rousseau’s top 3 wines
and the many GCs that slot in below the CSJ. And secondarily there is virtually no burgundy where you’re getting value for what you’re paying any longer, and this is no different. That said I don’t view this wine as egregiously average (to each his own). For me this is an excellent vintage for Rousseau all around….I find there is a level of refinement and energy present in all bottlings, including this one. Sweet red berries, roses, excellent balance and just a bite of dark chocolate in the finish as this is decidedly more deep/dark than the Ruchottes and Charmes (94+)
I used to drink my burgundies and ask myself the question “is this a rebuy” and if the answer was yes I’d load up. Sadly these days with prices where they are I now ask myself the question “is this worth keeping”….i give myself a lot of latitude because I’d rather not be a seller, and it hasn’t entered my mind that I would sell my remaining bottles of 10 Mazy1 person found this helpful Comment -
Ozen Does not like this wine: 89 points
June 23, 2022 - I do not want to offend any Rousseau fans but this Mazy-Chambertin is nothing but super average. And given the vintage is has no excuse but to be great. I paid 90 bucks for this bottle back than, which now apparently goes for 1300 plus. That is, in one word, "obscene". This wine is so average, it is flat out boring, standard pinot noir. It would be completely outshone by a wine like Bachelet Les Evocelles 2013 at one tenth of the price. It feels like Rousseau has two leagues, the Le Chambertin, the Clos de Beze and maybe sometimes the Ruchottes and then everything else. I dont think I have ever been so disappointed by a wine of this stature. Given the price, forget this wine altogether.

June 18, 2022 - Very open 2010 with flowery, elegant nose. Seductive almost like a Chambolle.

February 19, 2022 - (2010-tasting: Volnay x 3, Vosne x 3, Gevrey x 3)
Medium-fullish nose. Tart red cherry and cranberry. Some iron minerality and Gevrey-blood. Herbs and some flowers. Raspberry. Very pure, but a bit tender for the pedigree...
Medium-fullish palate. Red and dark fruit in combination. High acidity, almost tart. Lacks a bit power and concentration. But harmonious in mouth.
Also lacks oak spice and power.
Agree with other tasters - impossible to understand the hype with Rousseau's "secondary" wines. I think it is a pity they don't see any new oak, that would add some spice to them.
