  • 1998 Domaine G. Roumier / Christophe Roumier Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru

    Opened roughly 90 minutes before serving; no decant. Amazing aromatics right from the start. Red and black cherry and berry intermixed with Asian spice and a crushed stone. The mineral notes and fruit profile carried through onto the palate as well. Nice grip on the backend with great acidity all throughout. In a wonderful spot now, but will continue to hold.

    Opened roughly 90 minutes before serving; no decant. A bit more reserved aromatically than the 98 in the next glass, but plusher on the palate. More black fruit than red, but again with the Asian spice components. The mineral structure stayed pretty much buried under the ripe fruit until it emerged in the finish. Lovely now and I hope to get a chance to revisit down the road.
