1999 Domaine Georges & Christophe Roumier Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru, Cote de Nuits, Bottle (750ml)

RP94 "Like his Chambolle Villages, the 1999 Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru from Christophe Roumier is beginning to drink beautifully, bursting from the glass with aromas of red plum, cherry, grilled meat, truffle, toasty oak and a top note of heather. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, rich and ample, with a generous core of cool fruit, excellent length and a long, chalky finish that is classic Ruchottes-Chambertin." Dec 2018

"Whenever I meet Christophe Roumier, I get the impression of a Burgundy superstar in the eye of a storm. Around him, the world over, Roumier is the Holy Grail for collectors bidding astronomical sums for bottles that bear his family name. And Christophe himself? Well, he just the usual down to earth, self-effacing gentleman that he always is and always will be. He’s just concerned with his vines and his winery. All the hullabaloo out there beyond Chambolle? Well, sometimes I think he would prefer if it could all be left to the likes of DRC and Leroy. Christophe never asked to be an icon." NM Dec 2015
