Product Description
DR94 "Roumier’s Clos de la Bussière is consistently among the best values among the top flight of Burgundy producers. The 2021 vintage is no exception, with its lovely density of plummy fruit on the initial attack, nuance of liquorice and clove, and hints of smoke and earth. The texture on the palate has a beautiful density without heaviness, marvellous length, and enough structure to let this wine age gracefully. Roumier has extracted carefully but firmly, using half whole clusters and punching down and pumping over carefully to ensure optimal concentration." CC for DR Jan 2022
William Kelley for RobertParker.com writes, "Christophe Roumier and I had been star-crossed in recent years, missing our 2021 rendezvous, thanks to a COVID-19 case, and our 2022 appointment due to a family emergency, so it was good to catch up with him this winter to taste his embryonic 2022s and bottled 2021s in Chambolle-Musigny. Despite producing a number of hulking, muscular vintages in the last few years, Roumier remains faithful to an elegant vision of red Burgundy, and he's quite candid about preferring his 2017s to his 2018s, and his 2021s to his 2020s. So it's all the more satisfying that, as he nears retirement, he has produced a brilliant back-to-back duo in 2021 and 2022, the latter ranging from 13.2 to 13.7% alcohol. This tasting reminded me just how great these wines can be and why they were such an integral part of why I fell in love with Burgundy as a graduate student." Published: Jan 18, 2024
