Description
Georges Roumier is a Burgundian Estate that is revered by all and almost impossible to find. From their base in Chambolle they make wines of elegance and grace.
Burghound review:
“This is also quite fresh with its more elegant array of red and blue pinot fruit, rose petal and soft spice nuances. There is excellent delineation to the vibrant and mineral-inflected medium-bodied flavors that deliver fine length on the saline and linear finale.
Note: contains some premier cru juice from Fuées

Burgundy – Essentially one vineyard that is 60km long and maybe 5km at its widest. From this limestone ridge some of the most complex, long-lived and aromatic wines are produced from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Cistercian monks who owned the land codified the entire region and so each small plot has a name.
Pinot Noir – This is the most elusive grape. It is relatively early ripening and extremely sensitive to terroir. Its perfect place on earth is the Cote d’Or in Burgundy. So haunting are great red Burgundy’s charms that growers everywhere try to emulate them. Pinot Noir is not just a one trick pony, it can make great reds, rosé, sparkling and even sweet wines, whites on occasion and I’ve tasted a decent fortified Pinot Noir too.
