Chambolle-Musigny Laurent Roumier 2021

The wine

This Chambolle-Musingny is the epitome of elegance. Its village appellation produces beautiful, silky wines with great finesse and a density which is not far off a premier cru. A wine that comes from the five parcels situated around the village (1.5 ha, average age 35 years). One of these parcels, which is over 50 years old, is brilliantly exposed on stony plots next to the famous Musigny grand cru.

About the Producer Laurent Roumier

Laurent Roumier, the cousin of Christophe (from the George Roumier domain) has long been associated with his brother. Since 1991 he has managed a four hectare-domain of rented vineyards, which he increased to seven hectares in 2005. These vineyards spread over the Bourgogne, Hautes Côtes de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny, Clos Vougeot and Bonnes-Mares appellations. Laurent Roumier traditionally cultivates and vinifies using the old methods of treading and pumping over, without a pre-fermentation "cold soak", followed by a 15 to 18 month maturation in oak casks.
A man of few words, Laurent is fairly secretive when it comes to his "savoir-faire". However, his mastery is highly regarded amongst enlightened connoisseurs. His range includes wines made to be enjoyed soon (La Poirelotte) as well as cuvées with excellent ageing potential. Further information :Read the article about the domain Laurent Roumier on the blog
