This quote is as of the time of AotC, so I have no idea why you bring up Skywalker beating Dooku in RotS mmm
And Yoda's listed as an exception to it; I'd assume it'd be "aside from Yoda and Mace" or "Yoda and Anakin" or just leaving it at "nearly any" if it was the case that he isn't, by AotC, superior to any Jedi besides Yoda.

Lmao. Right...that's why his death is referenced at the start of the paragraph.
Is there any more reaching you'd like to do?

Huzzah, it references what age he died... The article itself mostly focuses on the events of AotC, though. Not that this accolade is really that key an accolade for Dooku being better than Mace.
Still, to assume that one character > another only due to one quote is a bit dumb.
In that way of thinking, we could argue, that Vader > Sidious. He's - as I remember - stated to be the best "red saber wielder" and there is a quote, that is saying that Ahsoka can match Vader and Sidious blow to blow.
There are just better and worse sources. Movies/TCW/Rebels are the most reliable sources in the new canon at this moment.

So you want more reaching then, nice. At least try to be better at it. The article is about his whole life, starting from pre-AotC until his death in RotS.
Out of 10 paragraphs 2 is about AotC. But sure it mostly focuses on AotC 👆
Well. DR kinda confirmed that Mace would win yes?
However in a place where the count can draw on the Dark Side he would solidly outclass Mace, correct?
Well I think that while Mace be the superior duelist due to his mastery of this new form and his own refinement of the Seven Styles does give him an edge against the Count in a neutral setting., this of course being all due to Vaapads mechanics of constant movement and drawing on the energies of others. The count would nevertheless press him in every engagement they would have, mostly due to Counts own mastery of Combat.
That said, Mace being the last living practitioner of Vaapad, a form Dooku has no real knowledge of, does give him a significant edge when dueling an equally refined but far older adversary like Dooku.
Tl;dr
Mace is >Dooku because of game mechanics
