George Roumier Chambolle-Musigny 2014

2. Vintage & Terroir Influence

The 2014 vintage in Burgundy was marked by a cool and challenging growing season, with a hailstorm in late June that affected some vineyards. However, meticulous vineyard management and a warm September allowed for good phenolic ripeness and balance. Chambolle-Musigny, known for its elegant and ethereal Pinot Noirs, benefited from its limestone-rich soils, which contributed to the wine’s minerality and finesse.


3. Tasting Notes

Appearance:
  • Medium ruby, with a vibrant core and slight garnet reflections at the rim, indicating early signs of evolution.
Aroma:
  • Elegant and perfumed, with high-toned red fruit—ripe cherries, wild strawberries, and raspberries.
  • Floral nuances of violets and rose petals, classic to Chambolle-Musigny.
  • Subtle earthy undertones, damp forest floor, and a touch of crushed limestone.
  • Delicate oak influence with hints of vanilla, clove, and a faint touch of smoke.
Palate:
  • Structure: Light to medium-bodied with a refined texture.
  • Acidity: Bright and lively, giving the wine freshness and precision.
  • Tannins: Silky and well-integrated, providing a smooth but structured mouthfeel.
  • Flavor Profile: Red berry-driven, with layers of pomegranate, cranberry, and subtle orange zest. Mid-palate complexity with mineral tension and a lingering floral note.
  • Finish: Long and graceful, with a delicate spice and refined earthy nuance.

4. Aging Potential & Drinking Window

  • Current Drinkability: Approachable now with proper decanting (30-45 minutes) to open up aromas and flavors.
  • Peak Maturity: 2026–2035. With further aging, it will develop more tertiary notes—dried flowers, sous-bois, and truffle—enhancing its complexity.

5. Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Classic Pairings:
    • Roasted quail with wild mushrooms
    • Duck breast with cherry reduction
    • Coq au Vin (Burgundian-style braised chicken)
  • Cheese Pairings:
    • Comté, Reblochon, or mild Brie
  • Vegetarian Pairings:
    • Truffle risotto
    • Mushroom-stuffed ravioli with sage butter

6. Expert Recommendation & Verdict

Georges Roumier’s Chambolle-Musigny 2014 is a benchmark expression of the appellation, balancing elegance, minerality, and pure fruit precision. While it is already drinking beautifully, it will gain further depth and tertiary complexity over the next decade. For collectors, this is an excellent village-level wine to cellar. For immediate enjoyment, serve in a Burgundy glass at 16°C (60°F) to fully appreciate its delicate aromatics and fine structure.

Score: 94/100 (Outstanding)
Investment Potential: High – Domaine Roumier’s wines consistently appreciate in value.
