2013 Domaine Georges Roumier Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru "Les Cras" then powerful and rather strictThe 2013 Chambolle Musigny les Cras has a very reticent, broody bouquet that does not want to come out to play. The palate is vibrant and focused with wonderful chalky tannins, citric acidity and a long, lightly spiced finish that fans out with vim and vigor. This should be very satisfying once in bottle, although I wager that it will deserve more cellaring than Roumiers other 2013s.
