TN:1996 Armand Rousseau Mazy-Chambertain GC
We roasted a nice plump farm raised chicken tonight with herbs,
garlic, mushrooms and fingerling potatoes. I poked around the cellar and found a bottle of 1996 Armand Rousseau Mazy-Chambertain Grand Cru in the orphan bin and decided it was time to finish the last bottle. The color was a crystal clear garnet with a slight brickish hue. Typical mature burgundy nose of red earth, minerals and tart cherries with a bit of cinnamon spice and sous bois notes. The wine was sleek on the palate, nothing ponderous about this wine. Pronouced spicy black cherry on the palate with a mushroom and stony mineral finish. Very elegant and smooth with good upfront fruit and nice acidity. a nice easy "A" on the Dale scale.

All I can usually afford is the Clos de la Roche and village Gevrey, but happily slurp the bigger boys if someone offers!

I love Armand Rousseau's wines. All I can usually afford is the Clos
de la Roche and village Gevrey, but happily slurp the bigger boys if someone offers! Talking of whom, this is my list from my merchant concerning these wine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils, Gevrey-Chambertin These wines are on ALLOCATION. Unfortunately if you have not purchased these wines from us before you are unlikely to receive an allocation. Gevrey-Chambertin Charmes-Chambertin grand cru Mazy-Chambertin grand cru Clos de la Roche grand cru Clos des Ruchottes-Chambertin Chambertin-Clos de Bèze grand cru Le Chambertin grand cru Like you Dale, cannot really afford them, but will drink if offered. !!
