2011 Domaine Georges Roumier, Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru, Les Cras, Bottle (750ml)

Allen Meadows for BurgHound writes, "An ultra-fresh, elegant, cool, airy and admirably pure nose features crystal clear and transparent red pinot fruit and essence of stone. This is still notably firm with an abundance of minerality present on the delicious, focused and beautifully well-delineated flavors that terminate in a precise, long, linear and palate staining finish. Terrific and worth a special search to find though be aware that this youthfully austere effort will required extended cellaring." 93Pts Published Apr 22, 2015

Neal Martin for RobertParker.com writes, "Only the super-rich now have the privilege of tasting the wines of Christophe Roumier , which is a shame, and something that Christophe himself must rue. I vividly recall the moment when tasting his Musigny 2005 from barrel and he had just started receiving blank checks for any bottle he could spare. Roumier’s name was about to go from the esteemed to the iconic, with all the positives and negatives that it entails. So, whenever I have the opportunity to taste Christophe’s wines I grab it, whether it is the 2011s following our tasting of 2012s, or a super-rare bottle from the 1960s that appeared at a dinner."
