Domaine G. Roumier Chambolle Musigny Les Cras 2012

Domaine G. Roumier’s Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras 2012 is a striking Premier Cru Pinot Noir that combines power, precision, and the graceful finesse for which Chambolle is admired. From one of the village’s more structured, mineral-driven sites, it captures both the depth of the 2012 vintage and the house’s long-standing reputation for elegance and purity.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright, polished ruby hue with youthful depth at the core. The nose opens with red cherry, raspberry, and blackberry, layered with violet, subtle spice, and a clear limestone-inflected minerality that gives the wine real lift and definition. On the palate, the wine is sleek and beautifully composed, with a firm backbone of silky tannins and vibrant acidity framing the ripe red and dark fruit. It finishes long, clean, and mineral, with enough density to suggest excellent development ahead; while already expressive, it has the structure to age gracefully for many years.

Production
Les Cras is a stony Premier Cru parcel in Chambolle-Musigny, where the limestone-rich soils and fine exposition contribute to the wine’s tension, depth, and mineral precision. Domaine G. Roumier typically farms and harvests with great attention to quality and ripeness, aiming to preserve the natural finesse of Pinot Noir while capturing the character of each site. Vinification is carried out with a light hand to emphasize purity, balance, and transparency of terroir.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as roast duck, pigeon, veal, or mushroom-based preparations, as well as game birds and truffle dishes. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if the wine is being enjoyed young to allow its aromatics and structure to open fully.
