Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru "Le Cras" 2021 Georges Roumier
Nestled in the heart of Burgundy, amidst the enchanting surroundings of Chambolle-Musigny, lies the Premier Cru "Le Cras" 2021, an exceptional wine crafted by the iconic Domaine Georges Roumier. This wine embodies the elegance and finesse characteristic of this renowned terroir, offering an unforgettable sensory experience to the palate.
Le Cras gently slopes down at the foot of Clos de Vougeot, where a fossil-rich calcareous soil imparts the wine with its unmistakable minerality. Yet, it is the skillful hands of Christophe Roumier, heir to a dynasty of winemakers dedicated to excellence, who breathe life into this precious nectar.
Le Cras 2021 is the result of a meticulous selection of Pinot Noir grapes sourced from five Premier Cru vineyards within the Chambolle-Musigny appellation. These historic vineyards, with vines that delve deep into a land steeped in history and tradition, are where nature reigns supreme.
Roumier's approach to viticulture is deeply respectful of the environment. Biodynamic principles guide every stage of the work in the vineyard, from the exclusion of chemicals to a focus on biodiversity. This commitment translates into superior quality grapes, capable of fully expressing the purity of the terroir.
Pouring a glass of Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru "Le Cras" 2021 immerses one in a whirlwind of intoxicating aromas. Succulent red fruits, such as blackberry and raspberry, intertwine with delicate floral notes, creating a harmonious and refined bouquet. On the palate, the wine seduces with its elegance and freshness. A delightful and balanced sip, where fine tannins caress the tongue, leaving a long and savory finish.
Le Cras 2021 is a wine that demands time and patience to fully unveil its splendor. A decade or two of aging in the cellar will allow it to evolve, developing an even deeper and more nuanced aromatic complexity.
Pairing this Burgundian gem is a privilege. A roasted leg of lamb, veal kidneys with mushrooms, or Charolais veal liver will perfectly accentuate its qualities, creating an unforgettable gastronomic experience.
