Chambolle Musigny Tasting - Roumier, Sirugue, Barthod

Tasted three wines from Chambolle Musigny. Overall impressions very positive. All wines stood out and there was not too dramatic a separation in quality or difference. Price was the only difference.

First was the Domaine G.Roumier 2002

Cloudy red colour, wet earth, ripe, mature strawberry, forest floor, mid level finish. The most expensive wine of the night but a delight. Price versus quality: 17/20. Overall 18/20.







Next was the Robert Sirugue Chambolle-Musigny Les Mombies 2010. This is a limited production wine of around 1700 bottles per year. Light, earthy red fruits, good mild short and sweet finish. Exceeded my expectations. Price versus quality 17/20. Overall 18/20.

Finally we tasted the Ghislaine Barthod Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Aux Beaux Bruns 2004. Darker in colour compared to the others, this was my favourite of the night. Out of the three this had lightest minerality but the wet earth ripe red fruit nose and one would expect. Out of the three price was in the mid range. Price versus quality: 17/20. Overall 18/20.

In conclusion there were slight degrees of difference in the earthiness, minerality and colour but all were very fine wines indeed.
