Domaine Georges Roumier Chambolle Musigny 2020

Decanter: A seductive black cherry and plum fruit touched with rose petals. The texture has a rich and supple edge, with an ethereal fruit character and a balance that distinguishes it from its neighbours. Produced from four parcels spread around the village. In 2020, Roumier fermented 30% of the grapes as whole clusters. He notes that the village-level vines suffered more from the heat than the premiers crus. Despite these trials, Roumier has yielded marvellous results here. 94/100 (2021)

James Suckling: Rich aromas of black cherries, blackberries and touches of black tea and dark spices. Quite rich, if not a bit too rich, with a long, solid finish showing fleshiness, concentration and ripeness from this hot year, where elegance and finesse are rare. Maybe it will get better in another three to four years. Try in 2029. 92/100 (2026)
