Henri Rebourseau, Mazis Chambertin Grand Cru, 1996
🏰 The 1996 Domaine Henri Rebourseau Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is an exceptional Burgundy wine, renowned for its 【perfect balance and depth from an optimal vintage】. Domaine Henri Rebourseau, with origins dating back to 1782, is a pioneer in organic and biodynamic farming, ensuring a pure expression of this Grand Cru terroir. This vintage impresses with its deep ruby red color and complex aromas of red and black fruits. Expect seductive scents of dark ripe plum and rich soil notes, with secondary characteristics just beginning to transition to tertiary. On the palate, it offers a savory profile with amazing fruit, mainly cherries, but also a bit exotic, reminiscent of a younger wine yet clearly aged with equally dominating earthy tones. The fruit and structure are well-balanced, leading to a very silky mouthfeel.
🍴 This Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru pairs perfectly with hearty dishes such as roast beef, game, or mature cheese. It cries out for lamb or duck, and is an ideal match for fine red meats like furred game in sauce, beef bourguignon, roasted rib of beef, coq au vin, or characterful washed-rind cheeses.
🥂 Ideal for a significant celebration or a serious tasting of mature Grand Cru Burgundy. Decanting is recommended to fully develop its aromas, and it should be served at 16-18 degrees Celsius. Given its age, it's advisable to check the cork and capsule condition carefully before opening.
BACKGROUND
Domaine Henri Rebourseau is a well-regarded wine producer based in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin in the northern Côte de Nuits subregion of Burgundy's Côte d'Or heartland. The domaine produces principally red wines from the Pinot Noir variety.The estate began in the mid-19th century when Jean-Baptiste Rebourseau and his wife Louise-Victoire Philippon consolidated vineyard holdings. It was passed to his sons Émile and Henri, and in 1949 to Henri's son Pierre Rebourseau. In 1980, Pierre's grandson Jean de Surrel took over, shifting to organic and biodynamic viticulture. In 2018, Olivier and Martin Bouygues acquired a controlling share. Bénigne and Louis now manage the estate with Hervé Berland.
