Situated in the village of Chambolle-Musigny, Georges Roumier is a leading estate in Burgundy, producing some of the most sought-after wines in the world. Run since 1992 by Christophe Roumier, the property covers 11.5 hectares in Chambolle-Musigny, Morey-Saint-Denis and Corton-Charlemagne. This release is their village-level Chambolle-Musigny from the 2011 vintage. It presents a nose characterized by vibrant violets, cherry pits, fine soil, and freshly cut berries. On the palate, expect layers of crisp, bright red cherry and red raspberry flavours, complemented by delicate iron nuances and a touch of bramble. The wine showcases a well-balanced, lively profile with brisk acidity and tannins that are firm yet refined.

Bright red-ruby. Smoky red fruit aromas come across as a bit roasted following Roumier's 2012s. Fat, sweet and very ripe, with a liqueur-like quality to the raspberry, smoke, chocolate and earth flavors. Plenty of substance here but also a touch of greenness. Larger-scaled than the 2012 but hints at an overripe/underripe character.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2014

The 2011 Chambolle-Musigny Village has a lifted bouquet with scents of strawberry shortcake intermingling with autumn leaves. Strong field mushroom scents enter the fray with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, gentle leafy red-berry fruit with a light, agreeable finish. Drink this over the next decade. Drink now-2020.

Only the super-rich now have the privilege of tasting the wines of Christophe Roumier , which is a shame, and something that Christophe himself must rue. I vividly recall the moment when tasting his Musigny 2005 from barrel and he had just started receiving blank checks for any bottle he could spare. Roumier’s name was about to go from the esteemed to the iconic, with all the positives and negatives that it entails. So, whenever I have the opportunity to taste Christophe’s wines I grab it, whether it is the 2011s following our tasting of 2012s, or a super-rare bottle from the 1960s that appeared at a dinner.

Domaine Georges Roumier

A Icon of Fine Burgundy

One of Burgundy's most famous producers - founded in 1924 by Georges Roumier, the domaine was passed to his son Jean-Marie in 1957 and eventually on to his grandson Christophe in the early 1990s. Vines are either rented from family members or managed on a share-cropping basis and the cellar team operate a dynamic approach to winemaking, subtly altering their techniques depending on the vineyard and vintage. Some fruit is fully destemmed before fermentation while some is partially destemmed. A cool maceration takes place before fermentation, which takes place in wooden vats, and punch downs happen twice a day. Use of new oak is judicious - only around 20% for the village wines, 35% for the Premier Crus and 50% for the Grand Crus.

If Georges Roumier only produced Chambolle-Musigny, Bonnes Mares and Clos St Denis, the winery would still be considered one of the greatest in Burgundy, but their other-worldly Musigny Grand Cru elevates their status among the great wineries of France to legendary.
