An ultra-floral-suffused nose speaks mostly of ripe dark berries, spice and a whiff of jasmine tea. The racy and almost painfully intense medium weight flavors brim with both dry extract and minerality before terminating in a gorgeously complex, persistent and balanced if very compact finale where the only nit is a touch of warmth. This beauty is going to need at least a few years to unwind. In a word, excellent. (Drink starting 2035)
An even and deep purple, with a high-class bouquet where the whole bunch element is present yet discreet. This has energy and class, still extremely youthful, quite a bit of oak, which will assimilate. A fine long finish, tangy, stylish.
A lovely, bright raspberry and mulberry fruit, touched with mineral and floral notes edged with saline. The wine is extremely expressive, with a bright acidity on the palate but also a silky, perfumed feel that lingers elegantly on the finish. Marvellous. Roumier's 1.75ha of Les Cras are at the northern limit of the appellation on white marl soils, with a large amount of active calcium in the soils. As with his other premiers crus, the fermentation was 50% whole-cluster in 2020. (Drink between 2025-2040)
