2012 Domaine Meo-Camuzet Chambolle Musigny Les Cras Premier Cru [Future Arrival]

Pro Reviews

Wine Advocate (WA)

The 2012 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Cras is a negociant wine, but Jean-Nicolas informed me that the domaine manages the vineyard entirely. This was harvested within the first two days. It has a pleasing pomegranate and wild strawberry scented bouquet that is well-defined, almost Vosne-like in style. The palate is well structured with crisp, tensile tannins, plenty of red berry fruit but it just needs a little more presence towards the finish. That might manifest during the elevage. Quite stylish, though I might drink this perhaps in the first six or seven years after bottling. – Neal Martin – 30-12-2013

Vinous Media (VM)

Crushed red berries, flowers, mint and anise meld together in the 2012 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras. There is lovely pliancy in the glass, but less of the mineral drive and tension I associate with wines from Cras. This is another wine that looks to offer plenty of enjoyment with minimum cellaring.
