The 2010 Laurent Roumier Chambolle-Musigny is perhaps just entering its drinking window, though it is important to note that this is a half bottle. The aromatics are intriguing, and firstly floral. Lilacs and apple blossom give way to seedy raspberries, plum and damp tilth. Perhaps what is most striking are the camphor and mint notes that emerge after about 40 minutes. On the palate, its light and bright, red-fruited, and coolly energetic. The finish is medium-plus, and littered with crackly, dry autumn leaves.
