2002 Domaine Georges Roumier Morey St Denis Clos de la Bussiere Burgundy – 750ml
Domaine Georges Roumier is based in the Côte de Nuits village of Chambolle-Musigny, where it produces some of Burgundy’s most expensive, highly rated, and sought-after wines.
The Roumier story began when Georges Roumier married Genevieve Quanquin in 1924. Quanquin had family vineyards in Chambolle-Musigny, which Roumier began to expand upon. Instead of buying plots outright, Roumier used the French idea of metayage to build up the domaine, whereby an individual cultivates the land for the owner in exchange for a proportion of the produce. Roumier began with small plots in Musigny, moving onto Bonnes Mares as well as securing two plots in Clos de Vougeot. Most recently, Domaine Georges Roumier expanded into Ruchottes-Chambertin, where it is entitled to two thirds of the harvest.
When Georges Roumier died in 1965, his son Jean-Marie took over the winemaking. Eventually Christophe, Jean-Marie’s son, took over and is the domaine’s current winemaker. His focus is very much on the terroir, so new oak is used sparingly and the temperature of the ferment is kept low to allow for the delicacy and fragrance of the wine to shine through.
The most important plots in the Georges Roumier portfolio are in the Bonnes Mares Grand Cru vineyard and the Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru Les Amoureuses vineyard, which make two of the domaine’s most sought-after wines.

Burghound | 2002 Domaine Georges Roumier Morey St Denis Clos de la Bussiere Burgundy Very ripe red fruit aromas, in fact this is a good deal riper than the Chambolle villages with plenty of earth nuances and an interesting game and underbrush quality. The moderately rustic, punchy flavors are softened by the ample mid-palate sap and round tannins and though this is a robust and rustic effort, it is more elegant than usual though I would still not call this an elegant wine.
