Why we follow Domaine Georges Roumier
The estate
Georges Roumier married Geneviève Quanquin in 1924 and took over her family's vines in Chambolle-Musigny. His son Jean-Marie ran the estate from 1961. His grandson Christophe has led it since 1990, and is widely held to be one of the greatest vignerons alive. Christophe cites Henri Jayer and Jacques d'Angerville as his mentors. His sister Delphine has worked alongside him since 1993.
The vineyards
Twelve hectares across nine appellations, several of them very small indeed. Bonnes-Mares runs to 1.45 hectares spread over four parcels, straddling the two soil types of the cru, the pale Terres Blanches and the red Terres Rouges, which are blended together. The Musigny holding is about a tenth of a hectare, roughly 450 bottles in a good year. Then there is Les Amoureuses: four tenths of a hectare of the most coveted premier cru in Burgundy, around 1,500 bottles. Les Cras adds another 1.76 hectares. In Morey, the family has held the walled 2.5 hectare Clos de la Bussière monopole since 1953; the wall itself was built by Cistercians in the twelfth century. Charmes-Chambertin and Ruchottes-Chambertin are farmed under métayage rather than owned.
In the glass
Organic in practice though not certified, with partial destemming, native yeasts only, gentle three-week fermentations and restrained oak. When a parcel needs replanting Christophe clears it entirely rather than replacing vine by vine, which is why the Amoureuses and Musigny vines are approaching a century old. He considers Musigny the grandest terroir he farms, but finds Bonnes-Mares the more consistent wine. Les Cras is where the value sits.

How allocations are offered
It records which producers and wines interest you, so we know who to contact when a release is confirmed.
Availability depends on what arrives and how many customers are waiting. In some years there is very little to go round.
Our team considers purchase history, genuine interest and intended enjoyment. We would rather a case went to someone who will open it and tell us what they thought than to whoever asked first.
Change your requests at any time from My allocation requests. Release timing moves with the producer and the vintage, so the months on the release calendar are a guide rather than a promise.
