Burgundy Insights from the Winehog

Domaine Georges Roumier, Chambolle Les Cras 2007

By

The Roumier Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras 2007 is surprisingly forward … on a fruit day … with quite some secondary aromas kicking in. In the nose redberry fruit, red and dark cherries, elderberries – supported by a lovely stony Chambolle minerality. On the palate lovely harmonious fruit … medium weight and quite rich .. a bit short but nice grip. A lovely effort for the vintage …

By heart it’s a 1er cru – and while many argue that it ...
