Really just too young. Decanted and drank over an hour and it never even started to open up. Very heavy and dry. More like a Côte Rotie than a burg. At least it was half-price bottle night! Would try again in a few years but def not worth the price right now.

Served alongside Rousseau Gevrey-Chambertin 2019, and I think for me it suffered a bit in comparison. This had some red fruits, spice and flowers. I found this a bit lighter and more elegant than the Rousseau, giving a peak at what it can be, but not revealing everything even though it was opened quite some hours before drinking.

Duck Breast and Roumier for lunch at Ma Cuisine in Beaune. Super floral nose with insane detail. Fresh spring flowers billowing from the glass with a kiss of oak, alpine blueberry, and ripe huckleberry. Palate is cassis and strawberries with a hint cocoa, cinnamon and nutmeg. Complex, but not crazy complex yet the finish is long… This wine sings to you. An expertly crafted village wine. Oh yeah, and the pairing with roasted duck breast might have dialed it up a notch… or two. Wow.

Pleasant, but rather reductive on day one. Did not really hold up on day two.

Pronounced nose intensity with notes of red fruits, red currant. Medium+ acidity and medium tannin.
