Morey St Denis Clos de la Bussiere Georges Roumier 2005

Georges Roumier Morey-St-Denis Clos de la Bussière 2005 is a medium-bodied Burgundy red wine from the Premier Cru climat of Clos de la Bussière in the Côte de Beaune. Georges Roumier is one of the longest-established estate bottling producers in the Côte D`Or. The Domaine was originally formed in 1924 by George Roumier who farmed his own vines in Chambolle-Musigny but also worked as vineyard manager for Comte Georges de Vogüé. Since 1992 the estate has been fully managed by the talented Christophe Roumier, the third-generation family winemaker. This particular cuvée comes from La Bussière, a Premier Cru in Morey-Saint-Denis which is a monopole of the domaine. "This has a very sensuous, entrancing nose with superbly knit new oak although it has certainly closed down since tasted out of barrel last year, when it was just about to be racked. Morello, quince, raspberry leaf and a touch of dried orange peel. The palate is seamless with fine tannins and very focused, with a slightly rustic, ferrous finish. Top class." Wine Advocate, 2008
