Reviews:

•  Allen Meadows: An intensely floral, wonderfully spicy and kaleidoscopically broad nose of pure, ripe and extremely fresh red pinot fruit and plum aromas. The powerful, complex and ultra-serious big-bodied and tautly muscular flavors possess seemingly endless reserves of underlying material and an intensity that builds from the mid-palate all the way to the explosive and palate staining finish.

• Wine Cellar: Medium red. Very ripe, complex aromas of raspberry, coffee, chocolate, black olive, spices and minerals. Like liquid velvet in the mouth, displaying full ripeness but a restrained sweetness to the flavors of black raspberry, mocha and spices.

Producer Information

Domaine Georges Roumier is a wine producer based in the Côte de Nuits village of Chambolle-Musigny, where it produces some of Burgundy’s most expensive, highly rated, and sought-after wines. The Roumier story began when Georges Roumier married Genevieve Quanquin in 1924. Quanquin had family vineyards in Chambolle-Musigny, which Roumier began to expand upon. Instead of buying plots outright, Roumier used the French sharecropping/lease system of métayage, whereby an individual cultivates the land for the owner in exchange for a proportion of the produce, to build up the domaine’s range. Roumier began with small plots in Musigny, moving onto Bonnes Mares as well as securing two plots in Clos de Vougeot. Most recently, Domaine Georges Roumier expanded into Ruchottes-Chambertin, where it is entitled to two thirds of the harvest from a 0.5 hectare (1.2 acre) parcel owned by Michel Bonnefond. The other third is sometimes encountered as Ruchottes wines labeled with the Bonnefond name (the wine is identical to the Roumier version). When Georges Roumier died in 1965, his son Jean-Marie took over the winemaking. Eventually Christophe, Jean-Marie’s son, took over and is the domaine’s current winemaker. His focus is very much on the terroir, so new oak is used sparingly and the temperature of the ferment is kept low to allow for the delicacy and fragrance of the wine to shine through.
