You simply will not find any long-term lover and collector of top Burgundy who is not familiar with the wines from Domaine Roumier. The Roumier cellars have for decades been a beacon for lovers of Pinot of great tension and detail, with wines that effortlessly embody the Burgundian ideal of power without weight. These are silken, seamless, profound wines that should be mentioned with the very best reds in the region. The Clos de la Bussiere is a true clos just across the Chambolle border, surrounded by ancient walls that were constructed by the Cisternian monks. The Roumier family acquired this vineyard in the early 1950and#39;s. This is always a charming wine in its youth, with firm but immensely fine tannins that give it loads of staying power in the cellar.andnbsp;andnbsp; andnbsp;

Roumier particularly crushed ‘17. Even the Bussiere which is a bottling that IMO takes forever to be drinkable opens up so quick in the decanter gaining most notably in density and texture after a somewhat thin first pour. It’s bright, vibrant and pure with layers of black and blue fruit, dark cocoa, spices and earthy soil tones. The palate is seamlessly balanced, deep and expansive with fine grained tannins and a long, lifted and elegant finale. A fantastic vintage for this bottling that is already in a great spot but with of course, its best years ahead.

The chambolles were all as great as one would expect; the 19 and 17 MSDs were good but the others are unique in an unpleasant way for now.

Part of Roulot + Roumier tasting. More typical in style than the 2019, the fruit-forward hedonism is toned down. Angular and precise. Super mineral finish. Needs time…glad I have a few bottles stashed away
