Georges Roumier, Chambolle Musigny Cras Vintage:2006 all framed by impeccably silky(from a 1. 75 ha parcel of vines averaging 35 to 40 years of age). An ultra fresh, cool, airy and admirably pure nose features crystal clear and transparent red pinot fruit and essence of stone. This is a bit firmer than the Combottes with even more evident minerality on the delicious, focused and beautifully well delineated flavors that terminate in a precise, long, linear and palate staining finish. Terrific and worth a special search to find though
