The Roumier estate is an estate that produces Burgundy wines. Founded in 1924 by Georges Roumier, then reprisals since the beginning of the 1980s by Christophe Roumier who had joined his father Jean Marie Roumier. Located in the town of Chambolle Musigny, the estate covers nearly 12 hectares of vineyards. The harvest is traditionally carried out by hand and the grape varieties that are produced are pinot noir for red wines and chardonnay for white wines.
The Roumier estate is not certified organic and does not seek the label, however it does not use any chemicals in its vines. The limestone and clay-limestone soils favor and characterize the estate's terroir. The Roumier estate produces five Burgundy grands crus: Bonne Mares, Musigny, Charmes Chambertin, Ruchottes Chambertin and Corton Charlemagne in white wine.
The star wine of the Roumier estate is the Musigny grand cru. A wine with growing fame from the Côte de Nuits.

(11-2018) Much the prettiest and most fragrant of Roumier’s wines so far tasted. Wild red fruits and just a hint of roses. Pretty but not showy. Incredibly moreish while also having a lightness of touch. Tannins are a little stony and there is an overall stoniness that does not diminish the fragrance. Firm on the palate but in a subtle way. Intense without weight. Glorious length and harmony with a sour freshness of cherry at the very end.
