(WA91-93 points) The 2013 Chambolle-Musigny les Cras has a very reticent, broody bouquet that does not want to come out to play. The palate is vibrant and focused with wonderful chalky tannins, citric acidity and a long, lightly spiced finish that fans out with vim and vigor. This should be very satisfying once in bottle, although I wager that it will deserve more cellaring than Roumier’s other 2013s. - Neal Martin

The cherry and berry flavors lean toward the wild side, with mineral and spice nuances allied to a firm structure. There's density and a light chalky feel on the long finish, where the fruit notes persist. Best from 2019 through 2032. - B.S.

Reduction flattens the nose and I would strongly recommend decanting this for 30 minutes or so if you’re tempted to try a bottle before the wine matures. The natural elegance and class of Les Cras is immediately evident in the mouth however the textured, intense and sleekly powerful flavors simply ooze minerality that continues onto the beautifully long, balanced and refreshing finale. This strikingly pretty if moderately austere effort should amply repay 10 to 12 years of cellaring. 2023+
