2017 Domaine Georges Roumier, Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru, Les Cras 1x750ml

Robert Parker 92

The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Cras is showing nicely, exhibiting notions of sweet berry fruit, cherries, peonies, spices and creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, with a deep core of fruit, lively acids and chalky back-end grip, it will demand a bit of patience, even in this extroverted vintage.

The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras 1er Cru was reduced on the nose the day I visited, Christophe Roumier lamenting that just the previous day it was "shining." Oh, well. The palate is very promising, demonstrating more substance and grip than the Les Combottes and good backbone. Smooth and harmonious, with just a touch of salinity on the finish. Very fine.
