(6x75cl) 2015Vinous (89-91)
Bright medium red, a bit darker than the Gevrey-Chambertin Clos du Château. Darker, spicier and more complex on the nose, conveying a suggestion of Brochon power. A step up in energy and clarity as well, offering lovely density and cut to its raspberry and spice flavors. Finishes classically dry, firmly structured and long. As impressive an early showing as I can recall for this village wine chez Rousseau.HK$22,710.00 -

Tasted from bottle, Rousseau's 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Village opens in the glass with a youthfully reserved bouquet of wild berry fruit, plums, peonies and orange rind mingled with suggestions of forest floor and cedar. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, supple and sapid, with lively acids, good depth at the core and fine structuring tannins that subtly assert themselves on the finish. Even this communal bottling—which contains declassified premier cru fruit—is quite introverted at this stage, and readers with bottles in their cellars are advised to forget them for the better part of a decade.HK$5,245.00 -

(1x75cl) 2017Vinous (88-90)
The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Village offers brambly red berry fruit on the nose, hints of crushed stone that percolate through with aeration. The palate is more cohesive and fleshier than the Clos du Château: tart red berry fruit, black pepper and a light sous-bois note on the finish. This should be approachable after two or three years. I find this a step ahead of the Clos du Château this year.HK$4,640.00 -

(5-Star Wine) Included with the village grapes are small amounts from 1ers crus Estournelles-St-Jacques and Clos Prieur, to be joined in 2019 by Craipillot as they have planted up their old vegetable garden there. A youthful fresh purple colour, heavenly bouquet again this light touch of sandalwood but with a long gracious cherry and light raspberry fruit.HK$20,205.00 -

Cask sample. A bit more focused than the Clos du Château on the nose. Gentle and sweet. Really very charming again with good breadth of fruit and a gentle, surely universal, appeal. Compared with Clos du Château, this has a little more obvious tannin on the end.HK$30,000.00 -
Vinous (89-91)
The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Village has a little more intensity and lifted compared to the Clos du Château, a touch more mineralité too. The palate is very well balanced, quite juicy and ripe but over excessively. Dark berry fruit laced with spice and it fans out wonderfully on the finish. Lovely.HK$5,100.00 -

(1x75cl) 2021Vinous (88-90)
The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Village clearly possesses more fruit intensity than the Clos du Chateau with perfumed red berry fruit, sous-bois and orange pith aromas that are well-defined. The palate is medium-bodied with dark berry fruit mixed with orange rind on the entry. Not a deep or powerful Village Cru, but pure and fresh. A tad short on the finish? Drink over the next decade.HK$4,160.00 -

Wine Advocate (86-88)
The 2014 Gevrey Chambertin Clos du Château has a pretty red cherry and strawberry nose that is in keeping with the Rousseau style. The palate is crisp and lively, with fine tannin but not immense weight, but it is fresh on the tart cherry finish. Note that it has not been decided if this will be released or not. It sounds as if it will and it deserves to be, as it is keeping with the Rousseau style.HK$9,875.00 -
(3x75cl) 2015Vinous (87-89)
Good bright red. Lovely perfumed aromas and flavors of red cherry and rose petal. Sappy and creamy on the palate--in fact almost voluptuous for a young Rousseau wine--but without quite the delineation or distinction of the following samples I tasted here. Finishes juicy and spicy. These vines belong to the Château de Gevrey-Chambertin, which was purchased by a Chinese businessman in 2012. Rousseau has been managing the vineyards while the château itself is being restored. He pulled up the oldest vines here (80 years of age) this year for replanting but the remaining plants still average 60 years of age.HK$15,925.00 -
(12x75cl) 2016Vinous (90)
The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos du Château was not tasted at the domaine, but at a private La Paulée, where the owner Louis Ng poured this wine. I include it here for convenience. It has a bright red cherry and crushed strawberry nose laced with orange zest that leaps from the glass. The palate is very well balanced and harnesses the succulence and intensity of the vintage. It might be a village cru, but that does not stop it from exhibiting exuberance and vigor on the finish. Just delicious.HK$57,655.00 -
(1x75cl) 2017Vinous (84-86)
The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos du Château matures in used oak, has a lifted crushed strawberry and rose petal scented bouquet. The palate is light in terms of body but nicely balanced with tart cherry fruit and a slightly attenuated finish.HK$4,920.00 -
(1x75cl) 2019Vinous (85-87)
The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos du Château has a very perfumed bouquet of red cherry and strawberry fruit. The palate is tart on the entry with slightly rustic tannins and modest weight. Just a little attenuated on the finish.HK$5,805.00 -

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos du Château has a pretty bouquet with dark cherry and strawberry fruit. Fine list. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannins, quite tart in the mouth with a hint of sour cherry perking things up on the finish. Fine.HK$14,665.00 -

(12x75cl) 1999Vinous (90+)
Medium red. Red fruits and tobacco on the nose, with some funky hints of truffley evolution. Silky and fine-grained on entry, then classically dry but more harmonious in the middle palate than the nose suggests. Clamps down on the finish, showing a cool and slightly ungiving character and an edge of acidity. I expected a bit more expansiveness and sweetness but Cyrielle Rousseau noted that she and her father Eric find their 1999s rather ungiving so far. She told me that she opened this bottle about six hours before I tasted it and predicted that it would be better the next day. She also described this Mazy as a funny wine, like a clown.HK$131,880.00 -
(4x75cl) 2008Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (92)
Medium bright red. Spicy black cherry, with hints of licorice and game and good floral lift. Sweet and pure, with juicy acidity framing the spicy red fruit and mineral flavors. There are vineyard-typical nuances of leather and game, but this is in a rather elegant style, and suppler at this stage than I would have expected from a 2008.HK$42,325.00 -
(1x75cl) 2009Wine Advocate (91-94)
The 2009 Mazis-Chambertin is a gorgeous, complete wine that reveals considerable elegance and complexity in its vibrant fruit. This elegant, mid-weight Mazis boasts incredible class, harmony and finesse in the way it shows the multiple facets of its personality with time in the glass. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2039.HK$10,780.00 -
(1x75cl) 2011Vinous (91-93)
Good bright, deep red. Wild, vibrant nose offers black cherry, black raspberry, minerals and spices; conveys a small-berry feel. At once dense and juicy; more masculine than the Charmes-Chambertin but also sappy and fined-grained. In a more backward style but already conveys excellent soil accuracy. Finishes with serious but well-buffered tannins and strong soil tones.HK$7,465.00 -
(6x75cl) 2013Wine Advocate (93-95)
The 2013 Mazis-Chambertin, matured in second-fill barrels, has a refined bouquet that is not a million miles away from the Charmes-Chambertin at the moment, but very precise and focused. The palate is very well balanced with tensile tannins and a keen thread of acidity: vibrant and shimmering in the mouth. With plenty of energy on the finish, this is a superb Mazis-Chambertin for the vintage.HK$38,670.00 -
(12x75cl) 2014Wine Spectator (97)
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.HK$110,715.00 -
(3x75cl) 2018Jancis Robinson (18)
Much darker in fruit character than the Charmes-Chambertin was at first but not yet savoury. A delicate dustiness of stones. Chewy on the palate though the tannins seem to be infused with fruit, and there’s a flash of freshness. The finish has a lightly sour note to balance the sweetness of fruit.HK$24,275.00 -
Vinous (94-96)
The 2019 Mazy-Chambertin Grand Cru is clearly a step up from the Charmes-Chambertin, offering deeper and more intense red fruit, rose petal and undergrowth aromas. There is also a more tangible marine influence at play here. The palate is medium-bodied with very good structure. Elegant and poised toward the finish, which leaves hints of tobacco and truffle on the aftertaste. Superb. Quintessentially Rousseau.HK$10,270.00 -
Vinous - Neal Martin (94)
The 1980 Ruchottes-Chambertin Clos des Ruchottes Grand Cru continues to shine on the nose with satisfying vigour considering vintage and age, comely scents of red cherry, desiccated orange peel, subtle fungal and irony notes crescendo with aeration. The palate is fresh and harmonious, built around perfectly pitched acidity and a pliant, naturally, fully mature finish that still exudes mineralité. Add to the canon of exceptional 1980 red Burgundies. Tasted at the Rousseau Ruchottes vertical in September 2013.HK$30,700.00 -

Fresher, deeper red. Much more complex aromas of black cherry, raspberry, leather, game, herbs and spices. Suave, silky and concentrated; fresher than the Clos de la Roche thanks to harmonious acids. Really seamless texture. Finishes with well-buffered tannins, very good grip and strong fruit.HK$18,245.00
Burgundy is Pinot Noir’s spiritual home, and nowhere in the world better illustrates terroir than here. Two vineyards side by side result in wines with subtle yet intricate differences in structure and aromatic profile – and often not so subtle differences in price.
