Could well be some of the smaller vineyards aggregated together, or young vines from multiple 1er Crus. I do not know for certain.

  4/20/2016 10:06:00 PM - I have been visiting Roumier every year for 25 years or so and have discussed this with him. It was only in late 1980s that he began to assemble the vines from the two different soils (of course, 1988, there were two different bottlings based on vine age), but before that, they were separate (he still vinifies them separately and I have on occasion tasted the yet-to-be-assembled parts). In the old days (which included the 1983) when he didn't assemble, Chateau & Estates got the terres rouges, the rest of the world got the terres blanches.

I am generally a realist(/pessimist) but, when it comes to precious bottles, seems I am a hopeful dreamer! I will always try to believe that a tainted bottle is barely afflicted. Sadly, as you taste more old bottles, you grow more accustomed to encountering TCA. I'm learning! Often, the hard way :( I hope all the rest of yours are fabulous!
