Domaine Georges & Christophe Roumier Chambolle-Musigny Les Combottes 2012
S$1,650.00
Graceful and mineral‑driven—Chambolle at its most elegant.
From one of Roumier’s smallest holdings, the 2012 ‘Les Combottes’ captures the essence of Chambolle finesse with added depth from a strong vintage. The nose reveals pure red cherry, raspberry, dried rose, and subtle herbs, layered with mineral tension and whispers of forest floor. On the palate, it’s silky yet firm, showing fine-grained tannins and precise acidity that frames the fruit beautifully. With its underlying structure and limestone clarity, this wine is both charming in youth and built for graceful aging.

Tasting Notes
Showing lifted aromas of ripe red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, and crushed limestone. Hints of mint, tea leaf, and subtle spice add complexity. The palate is elegant yet firm, with refined tannins and a vibrant core of red fruit framed by chalky minerality and fresh acidity. Long, graceful finish with a whisper of earth and floral lift—a beautifully poised wine from a classic vintage.
Pairings
Pairs beautifully with refined, subtly flavored dishes. Try it with duck breast in cherry reduction, roast quail with herbs, or mushroom risotto. It also complements soft cheeses like Brie de Meaux or Chaource, where the wine’s finesse and minerality shine alongside creamy textures.
Decant
For 30–45 minutes before serving to help release the wine’s delicate aromatics and soften its refined tannins. Avoid prolonged decanting since the wine is mature and more delicate; a short, careful decant is ideal to preserve its elegance and freshness.
Drinking Window
Now - 2030. The wine is currently showing well with mature complexity, balanced acidity, and graceful tannins. It will continue to evolve gracefully for several more years but is best consumed before the early 2030s to capture its vibrant finesse.
