2019 Domaine G. Roumier / Christophe Roumier Musigny #206413817
750ml
Reviews 96-98 points Vinous "The 2019 Musigny Grand Cru comprises just one barrel this year and is 100% whole bunch. It is beautifully defined on the nose, the explosion of black fruit laced with autumn leaves and black pepper, and the whole bunch more conspicuous than the new oak. The wood comes through more on the palate, imparting a sense of sweetness and gloss. A mixture of red and black fruit laced with blood orange, it fans out wonderfully toward the finish... (NM)" 97 points Burghound "As is sometimes the case, the highly perfumed nose is the most floral-inflected of the entire range with its cool, restrained and beautifully layered combination of red berry and lavender scents that combine with an extraordinary group of spice elements that include jasmine tea, anise and sandalwood. The super-sleek and equally mineral-driven larger-scaled flavors possess a wonderfully seductive mid-palate texture though contrasts significantly with the compact and very tightly wound finish that just goes on and on. This youthfully austere effort is every bit as classy as the Amoureuses but there is more power and muscle and this beauty of a Musigny should age for decades. (AM)"

About Domaine G. Roumier / Christophe Roumier
The eminent Christophe Roumier manages the prestigious Domaine George Roumier, a Burgundy powerhouse known for its premier and grand crus that garner the admiration of sommeliers and collectors alike. Established in 1924, the Domaine's superior fruit springs from Chambolle Musigny's stellar terroirs – Le Musigny, Les Amoureuses, and Bonnes Mares – and three distinguished parcels cultivated en métayage: Echezeaux, Ruchottes, and Charmes Chambertin. Despite Christophe's insistence on pruning rigorously to ensure low yields, the resultant wines are opulent, concentrated, and marked by a unique balance of power and restraint.
With an unswerving dedication to quality, Christophe personally sorts the harvest, mostly de-stemming the grapes based on vintage conditions and allowing them to macerate in oak cuves at low temperatures. The must, punched down twice daily, ferments on native yeasts in both stainless steel and concrete. The aging of wines is handled judiciously according to their crus, utilizing a modest 15% new oak for the village wines and reaching a maximum of 50% for the grandiose Bonnes Mares grand cru. These expert techniques result in wines that are enchanting, seductive, and notably age-worthy.
Currently, Domaine George Roumier spreads across 11.52 hectares in Chambolle-Musigny, Morey-Saint-Denis, and Corton-Charlemagne. Here, Christophe leverages his intelligence and winemaking prowess to produce wines that are not just consistently delicious but carry profound elegance - a testament to the ancient craft of winemaking.
Maintaining a minimal dependence on new wood, Christophe pursues and accomplishes remarkable precision in his wines. Thus, the limited production of globally renowned crus such as Bonnes-Mares, Chambolle-Musigny, Charlemagne Grand Cru, and Ruchottes-Chambertin, render these offerings as coveted collectibles. Domaine George Roumier, therefore, continues to stand as an undeniable icon of Côte de Nuits, showcasing an unrivaled blend of heritage, expertise, and an unwavering commitment to quality.
