Excellent wine today (94+), but the nose and structure suggest magnificence in the years ahead (97). This can age for a long time, and it will surely improve for decades.

Youngest Roumier that I ever drank. In this primary phase a real beauty. So pure and expressive. Very carefully made with elegant tannins and well calibrated stem aromatics.

blind Again tremendous. Sublime elegance and power. The concentration is unbelievable. Some red berries, silky soft but firm tannins. For the next 2-3 decades. 97-98

blind A dream of a red Burgundy. Even in this brutally young stage it shows all the love from this region and grape variety. Fruity, reluctant, powerful, dense, playful and elegant likewise. A wine monument. For the next 20-30 years. 98+

Domaine Roumier Cellar Visit and Tasting (Day 4, Visit 2) (Chambolle-Musigny): Barrel tasting at the domaine. ML just 25% complete. Black and red cherry and berry on nose and palate, plus some black plum aromas. Dense and mouthcoating. So complete that I couldn't believe ML was just 1/4 done. Great length, almost weightless already, which is head-scratching given how concentrated this seems with so much dry extract. A wow wine in the making.

A gorgeous young vintage and definitely a wine that's worthy of an early spin.

Approachable with some stem aromatics. Chalky, deep and substantial - has the leg to go distance.

Powerful and intense. So tight and nervy. A ball of vinous kinetic potential. Complex and quite brilliant.

Roumier visit. Show stopping wine... airiness, so fresh aromatically then richness and density of palate hits you. 33 barrels versus 20 in 2016.
