FEATURES
The 1993 Domaine Henri Rebourseau Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru Rouge is a testament to the power and finesse of top-tier Burgundy. Mazis-Chambertin is celebrated as one of Gevrey's most subtle and complex Grand Crus, known for its unique crinoidal limestone soils and excellent protection from the elements. The 1993 vintage, now over three decades old, is considered mature and a "big wine" with integrated tannins and vibrant acidity, suggesting it is at its peak drinking window or just past. Domaine Henri Rebourseau is a respected producer in this prestigious appellation.
This Grand Cru offers a powerful and opulent profile, marked by subtle nuances of red fruit, liquorice, and jammy cherries. Expect a complex bouquet with notes of strawberry, cherry, and dried fruits, complemented by earthy undertones like leather and truffle, and hints of oak, allspice, and mushroom. On the palate, it is firm, dry, and full-bodied, with intense, mature acidity and well-integrated tannins, leading to a lengthy and memorable finish.
Food Pairing: A magnificent pairing for rich, savory dishes such as roasted duck, goose, or other game birds. It also complements beef Wellington, venison, or a classic coq au vin.
Event suggestions: This is a truly exceptional wine, ideal for a landmark celebration, a serious wine collector's tasting, or a luxurious dinner where the wine is the focal point. It demands appreciation for its history and complexity.
Serving Advice for this aged wine: Given its 33 years of age, open this bottle with extreme care using an Ah-So or Durand corkscrew. Decant gently and slowly to separate any fine sediment, allowing it to breathe for a short period (15-30 minutes) to reveal its full aromatic spectrum without losing its delicate tertiary notes. Serve at 16-18°C (60-64°F).
