Domaine Christophe Roumier

The young 2002s are more seductive than the 2001s," says Christophe Roumier. The year combines very good sugars, tannins and acidity to give a balanced taste.The wines may seem gentle and easy but they have a lot of dimension and hidden power, and they are balanced for the long term.They remind me of the '78s, and also of the '95s but with riper tannins." Sugar levels in 2002 were consistently in the 13% to 13.4% range, and the wines were not chaptalized, whereas in 2001 Roumier generally chaptalized between 0.5 and 1.0 degree. He went on to say that the 2001s are more concentrated in terms of extract, and that the tannins are the most important structural element of these wines, while in the 2002s the key is the acids, as the percentage ofthe more stable tartaric acidity was high.The 2001s show darker fruits and more spice character, he added, while the 2002s are characterized by red fruits.Roumier is not convinced that his 2001s will last as long as his 2002s.
