2012 Domaine Georges Roumier Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras 1er Cru
FRANCE / BURGUNDY / CHAMBOLLE-MUSIGNY
International Wine Cellar | Rating: 94
Bright, dark red. Musky aromas of raspberry, minerals and spices. Precise and tightly wound, showing more inner-mouth lift and perfume than the Combottes. Distinctly redder in fruit character, with a dominant red cherry flavor nicely framed by crushed stone on the long, rising finish. Terrific freshness of fruit here.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: January/February 2014
Georges Roumier married his way into some of the best vineyard holdings in the Cote d'Or, back in 1924. He gained a wife from Chambolle and the vineyards as part of the dowry. Grand Cru blocks in Bonnes-Mares, Clos de Vougeot, Musigny, and Corton Charlemagne produce highly sought-after wines year after year. Christophe Roumier, Georges' son, has run the domaine since 1982, when he took over management of his family's 14.2 hectares of vines. He is regarded as one of the finest winemakers in the Cote de Nuit, one who strives to create authentic representations of each of his diverse plots.
