"I always liked the bounce, purity of fruit and detail of Christophe Roumier’s 2002 Chambolle villages, but I always thought I would have a slight preference for the 2001 version over the long haul. I recently had both examples at the same tasting and, to my surprise, had a slight preference for the 2002 this time around. The bouquet is really quite beautiful today, wafting from the glass in a mix of cherries, red plums, raw cocoa, gamebird, chalky minerality and a whisper of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, long and tangy, with excellent focus and grip, lovely complexity and a vibrant finish. Fine juice." John Gilman, View From the Cellar #87, Jun 2020 |
