2022 Laurent Roumier Chambolle Musigny

Laurent Roumier is the grandson of the legendary Georges Roumier and the cousin of Christophe Roumier, (who currently manages domain George Roumier), and the son of Alain Roumier who was the cellar master for Comte de Vogue for 30 years from the 1950s through to the 1980s. After working for his brother for many years he created his own domaine with 4ha's of vines which were rented from his family. Recent additions of 6 hectares in the Hautes Cotes de Nuits, purchased in the 1990's and further purchases in Chambolle Musigny means he now has just over 12has of vines at his disposal.

Wines here appear stylistically very similar to those of Georges, although one notable difference is that Laurent totally de-stems giving wines that are more immediately perfumed and accessible in their youth while still having ample depth and structure to age classically. Chambolle Musigny gets its reputation for perfume and elegance and this is textbook Chambolle yet also with admirable intensity and generosity. Very fine tannins and flows beautifully on the palate - very harmonious.
