Tasting Notes
Vinous 81
The 2004 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras 1er Cru came directly from the domaine, but even perfect provenance could not redeem a wine unequivocally plagued by the so-called "green meanies". This is highlighted by being tasted with other vintages of the same wine, the cabbage-like scent shrouding what little red fruit there is. Ditto, the palate is discombobulated by greenness and a severe lack of grip on the finish. There’s just no getting away from the fact that this is a wine irreparably compromised by this infamous growing season. You can’t win ’em all. Tasted blind at the Roumier Les Cras vertical at Medlar, London.
Anticipated maturity: 2022-2024
