2006 - Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Cras, Georges Roumier

The 2006 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras 1er Cru is earthy and stemmy on the nose, as if those stems have never been subsumed by the fruit. Compared to other vintages, the aromatics here come across as a little pinched. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly chalky texture and pleasing salinity, though it lacks depth and feels attenuated towards the finish. So-so considering the vineyard and producer. Tasted blind at the Roumier Les Cras vertical at Medlar, London.
