Domaine G. Roumier Chambolle Musigny Les Cras 2005

Domaine G. Roumier’s Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras 2005 is a highly refined Premier Cru Pinot Noir that shows exactly why this site is so admired. Sourced from the stony Les Cras vineyard, it combines depth and structure with the graceful, silken style that has made Roumier one of Burgundy’s most respected names.

Tasting Notes
The wine opens with a vivid bouquet of red cherry, raspberry, and blackberry, lifted by violet, subtle spice, and a pronounced limestone-driven minerality. On the palate it is poised and linear, with vibrant freshness and silky yet firm tannins giving the fruit both definition and energy. Compared with a classic Chambolle-Musigny, Les Cras tends to feel a little more muscular and concentrated, and this vintage carries that character beautifully. The finish is long, pure, and mineral, with enough depth to suggest excellent aging potential; for those with patience, it should continue to develop complexity for many years in bottle.

Production

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with dishes that echo its elegance and structure, such as roast duck, quail, veal, mushroom-based dishes, or game birds. Serve it at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if opening now, especially to allow the aromatics and structure to fully unfold.
