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

The peak of pureness and elegance! Fleuron is Laurent Roumier's favourite wine. The only downside of this Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is the low quantities produced (about 600 bottles). From stonier soil than at Chambolle, it has a remarkable mouth-feel. Bonnes-Mares is one of the most renowned wines of Burgundy. Here, Pinot Noir reaches its peak! From a 70-year old parcel of 0.14 hectares, situated in the middle of the climat, this wine is similar to Chambolle-Musigny, but with more concentration, more magnitude and length in the mouth, with a highly complex palette of aromas. Magnificent!
