Georges Roumier is without a doubt one of the greats of the Burgundy wine world. While the domain began by selling their wine off, the practice eventually led to bottling the wines on site. This practice was a little ahead of its time, as most domaines didn’t typically do both. Current generation Christophe Roumier says it best with this quote: "We don’t make Pinot Noir; we make wines from terroir which expresses itself through Pinot Noir." The family has holdings in several villages throughout both the Cote de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune. Of all the Burgundy domaines, Roumier is consistently among the most elegant and complex.
Morey-Saint-Denis Clos de la Bussiere is a monopole of the domaine. The site is still surrounded by the original Cistercian wall built in the 12th century. Christophe uses 50% whole bunches here allowing the terroir to come through, and with just a touch of oak preserves airy and pure fruit. Superb mineral tension with a harmonious bay leaf tinged finish.
