This 1990 Roumier Chambolle village offers superb complexity and forwardness. The ripeness balance, high fruit-intensity, and the forwardness reminds me of the more recent warm vintages, such as 2015. Tannins are fully resolved and nuanced with underlying minerality on the palate. Saturated fruits, really well balanced. Light transparency but not superficial. At a great spot where maturity is in full swing while there is still a lovely fruit core. (91/100)

A very strong showing of this mature village Chambolle. Mature cherry, some woodsy spice, good balance between fruit intensity and acidity drinking beautifully now and probably over the next 10-20 years even. The cork was however soaked so it felt we got lucky pulling the cork today to enjoy the wine without any oxidation which might have been a different story in a few years hence.
My understanding is that Roumier didn't make a Cras yet in that vintage so the fruit went into the village Chambolle.
