The Winery

Domaine G. Roumier

"We don’t make Pinot Noir; we make wines from terroir which expresses itself through Pinot Noir."
- Christophe Roumier

Seductive, sophisticated, synchronized and sought-after. These are the words that come up over and over, critic to critic, enthusiast to enthusiast, in the discussion of Domaine Georges Roumier. It is celebrated as one of the premier estates of Cote d’Or, producing wines from Chambolle Musigny, “Les Amoureuses”, Bonnes Mares, Clos Vougeot, Musigny and Morey St. Denis. The juice is sensual and even in the most difficult of vintages, always over-delivers, which speaks to the fruit and to the fine winemaking led by Christophe Roumier. Stylistically, the wines are truly vehicles for the terroir to the palate. They are bright, concentrated, and elegant with just enough fruit.

"At this point, one could easily submit that this Domaine is one of the dozen strongest estates in Burgundy today. It just doesn't seem to miss, as is evident by the superb 1982's and 1986's, light vintages where even some of the most renowned properties stubbed a toe. Roumier, instead issued some of its prettiest wines from those vintages, especially in '86."
- Matt Kramer, Making Sense of Burgundy

Vintages to look for: 1962, 1964, 1966, 1969, 1976, 1978, 1983, 1985, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1993, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005.

Tasting Notes

BH92
A very ripe nose speaks of cassis and liqueur of black raspberries that introduce the rich, intense and solidly voluminous flavors that possess a seductive mouth feel as the sap completely buffers the firm and ever-so-mildly rustic tannins on the impressively persistent and moderately robust finish. This should be excellent with 10 years or so of cellar time and it could very well be the best vintage for this wine since the fantastic 1961.
WS93
Black cherry, black currant and violet aromas and flavors are enticing and pure in this red. A hint of sweet spices emerges toward the finish, as do the refined, tightly knit tannins. This has intensity and excellent length. Best from 2015 through 2032.
