Histoire du domaine
Armand Rousseau acquired his first vineyard plots in Gevrey-Chambertin in 1902, upon coming of age. Born into a family with links to viticulture, cooperage and wine trading, he gradually built up the estate in the early 20th century. Following his marriage in 1909, he expanded his wine-growing holdings. In particular, the estate acquired vineyards in Chambertin, Charmes-Chambertin and Clos de la Roche. Armand Rousseau also developed the estate’s own bottling operations during the interwar period. In 1954, the Clos Saint-Jacques Premier Cru was acquired in the name of his son Charles. Following Armand Rousseau’s accidental death in 1959, Charles took over the estate, which at that time comprised six hectares, and continued to develop it. Éric Rousseau joined his father in 1982 after studying oenology, and subsequently took over the running of the estate. Today, he manages it alongside his daughter Cyrielle, who represents the fourth generation of the family.
Mazis-Chambertin
Mazis-Chambertin is a Grand Cru appellation corresponding to a physically demarcated terroir in Gevrey-Chambertin, comprising the lieux-dits Les Mazis-Hauts and Les Mazis-Bas. Located on the foothills on a slight plateau facing east, it extends Clos de Bèze to the north and features a slightly concave topography. Its superficial, carbonate, clayey soils rich in iron oxides overlie a Jurassic marl-limestone substrate ensuring efficient drainage and regulated water supply.

Histoire de la parcelle
The reputation of the climat is attested in the 18th century: Abbot Courtépée cited the "Mazy" among the renowned climats in 1774. In 1855, Doctor Lavalle distinguished the upper part as "1ère cuvée" and the lower part as "2ème cuvée". A judgment by the Dijon tribunal in 1931 recognized the Mazis-Chambertin appellation of origin and established its boundaries; the AOC was subsequently recognized by decree on July 31, 1937.
