| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.9 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 69 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by brooklynguy on 3/9/2024: Opened and poured off a taste at 4:30, first glass at 7. Lovely wine but quiet, no spark to it, no real vibrancy on the nose. It’s delicate and elegant and classy but also not complex articulate or pungent. The palate - similar. Balanced, suave, not super detailed, and the tannins are a bit harsh on the finish. It’s hard because you’re sitting there drinking Roumier and it’s easy to criticize when it isn’t great. This is not at all great. But it’s good. At current price it’s not close to good value. But it’s still good wine and quite surprisingly the last bit was the best by far on the palate. Perhaps this does need a decant for an hour before drinking. (585 views) | | | Tasted by liber on 7/6/2023 & rated 93 points: 6th of 12, opened an hour then decanted 2 hours, perfect cork and level, maybe not the most complex of Roumier's wines, but delicious and with his signature purity and drive, now entering mature phase but with upside possible, 15+ years. F+ (18). (774 views) | | | Tasted by Krugen on 10/31/2021 & rated 98 points: The wine was singing after 6 h with air (2022 views) | | | Tasted by liber on 7/2/2021 & rated 92 points: 5th of 12, opened 2 hours, perfect cork and level, slightly sharp, took some waking up in glass, essentially as last noted. F (17.5). (2011 views) | | | Tasted by dbkitc on 11/7/2020 & rated 89 points: This is a really lovely bottle but it does have some flaws. The nose is superb: fruit purity, a touch of meatiness, purple flowers. The weight and palate are robust and initial impression is a maturing, excellent Morey that is textbook and demands attention. So far so good. What I’m not digging is the short and slightly green/tannic finish. I’m hoping it’s just this bottle as others tasted have not displayed this kind of finish. Roumier might be my favorite wine producer. (89) (2554 views) | | | Tasted by liber on 10/19/2020 & rated 92 points: 4th of 12, opened 30 minutes, perfect cork and level, tighter and less expressive than last bottle in May, sense of retreating back into shell, no doubt to blossom again in a year or so, plenty in tank for an 06. F (17.5). (2548 views) | | | Tasted by rlove on 6/8/2020 & rated 92 points: A perfumed nose of the vintage shows bright red cherry, violet, and sous bois. Good concentration to dense red fruit flavors that finish with a salty minerality. Some coarseness to the tannins suggest benefit to further cellaring. Very good. (2599 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 5/16/2020 & rated 92 points: G Roumier Virtual Tasting (Zoom): Alongside the 06 Chambolle. This was the much more harmonious and approachable of the 06 Roumier bottles. Excellent fullness and richness to the fleshy black cherry fruit. Plenty of spice and mineral character throughout. A complete wine already, with upside from here. (2110 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 5/16/2020 & rated 90 points: Roumier Chambolle-Musigny Virtual Tasting (Planet Earth): Opened at 9:30 for a Noon tasting, then revisited over a few hours. Dense with lots of black cherry, roasted meat and good+ density. Slightly backward to start, this opened up nicely over the first hour+ in glass, and really ended well. Just now entering its peak drinking window, which is about what I expect from Bussière, which I typically will not open until 15 years after the vintage. (2717 views) | | | Tasted by liber on 5/6/2020 & rated 92 points: 3rd of 12, decanted 45 minutes, perfect cork and level, little changed from last October's bottle, maybe rounder, pleasure factor higher than rating suggests. At least F (17.5). (1276 views) | | | Tasted by brooklynguy on 4/6/2020: Coming along very well and I think will peak in 7-10 years, based on the showing tonight. It took over an hour (no decant) to fully blossom. This is an imperfect wine - the tannins can be a bit rough at times, it isn't have the most elegant expression, it doesn't show the midpalate complexity and drive that finer vintages show. But it is a truly lovely wine, and a testament to what this producer can do in a poor vintage. The aromatics are complex, with dark berries and fresh and dried leaves and savory tones of rock and old-sea-bed, and some musky notes too. The palate is very fresh, airy, and pure, and very pretty. It's less harmonious here than on the nose, but still very lovely, and when it harmonizes after a bit over an hour, becomes pungent and powerful while still showing lightness and grace. Hard to argue with this, especially in 06. (2083 views) | | | Tasted by liber on 10/10/2019 & rated 92 points: 2nd of 12, opened 30 minutes, perfect cork and level, now at beginning of drinking window (first bottle 2 years ago quite closed) and with that attractive Roumier transparency and purity, fine crunchy slightly sour black cherry fruit, lightly spiced, very long and persistent if without the depth and layering of his top wines or better vintages, attractive balance, 10 plus years of life ahead. F (17.5)….more attractive on pleasure than technical mark. (1670 views) | | | Tasted by Jammy Wine on 8/19/2019 & rated 90 points: The Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru Clos de la Bussiere is most probably the best value wine from Domaine Georges Roumier in secondary market. This 2006 Roumier Morey Saint Denis is still young and barely developed any tertiary flavours, which is unsurprising consider how well Roumier wines ages. Densely packed array of dark berries, sweet cherries, low pitched earthy spices of Morey Saint Denis and dried meat. Complex with layers of fruits. Drink now to 2038. (90/100) (1926 views) | | | Tasted by dbkitc on 8/11/2019 & rated 92 points: I like this a good bit and maybe more than most. Light cherry / Pinot color that hides the waves of pristine red fruits and warm earth on the nose. The palate is robust with some sweetness yet light as a feather. The mix of purity and depth is very well played. To me this is “naked” burgundy - all the goodness with little to no window dressing. Should drink well for the next 5 to 7 years. Will not knock you out with complexity but boy is this wine pure. (92) (1681 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 6/29/2019 & rated 90 points: Attractive. (1941 views) | | | Tasted by Jammy Wine on 6/4/2019 & rated 90 points: The 2006 Roumier Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru Clos de la Bussiere is showing plenty of youth and is open for business. Scented sweet cherry, deep-pitched dark cherry, blackberries, meaty edge with a hint of fig jam. Maturing very slowly consider it’s from 2006 vintage, no doubt this will age for a couple of decades. Top village / premier cru weight with spiced dark fruits and drying tannins on the finish. Skilful winemaking. (90/100) (1981 views) | | | Tasted by derek.hara@sbcglobal.net on 5/27/2019 & rated 93 points: Interesting to drink after Roumier Village Chambolle that was significantly younger (12). Wine near peak, starting to show rim variation and a touch of bricking. Amazing nose, delicious darker red fruits. Still lively with good acidity and overall poise/balance. Wow! (1609 views) | | | Tasted by Raage on 10/25/2018 flawed bottle: CdV
Le vin avait un souci, d’abord légèrement liégeux, puis fortement, puis plus du tout! Un mystère très intéressant sur le plan de la dégustation, comme si la déviance etait instable… étrange. Par contre le vin était indéniablement abimé, monolithique et sans charme, pas net, pas propre, muet, strict.
Son grand frère servi a côté, les cras, fut quant à lui plus sublime … (1956 views) | | | Tasted by WillersC on 7/20/2018 flawed bottle: Cork soaked through, wine not up to snuff (2294 views) | | | Tasted by ovenmitt on 3/18/2018 & rated 90 points: Drank with Burgundy group. This wine was just not in a good place. Tough and tight, like a fist in a boxing glove... There's potential here, but not for another 5-7 IMHO. (2402 views) | | | Tasted by brooklynguy on 2/16/2018: Not as great a bottle as the previous two. Very good and not in any way flawed, just slow to open and show everything I've seen in past bottles. Nothing showed so well last night though, maybe it was a root day or something. (3293 views) | | | Tasted by liber on 6/2/2017 & rated 91 points: 1st of 12, pnp, perfect cork and level - plum red, quite dark, little development; classy nose, baked plum, quite mineral, touch of spice; medium bodied, pure quality fruit, decent length and persistence, barely ready and more to it second night, more Roumier than '06! At least F (17.5). (3337 views) | | | Tasted by brooklynguy on 3/14/2017: Great showing, best bottle so far. Such a pretty wine, the nose is so graceful and elegant, and also so complex. Balanced and sheer on the palate, enticing and just charming. The structure and texture of the wine have come around now and offer support without being noticeable in any other way. Lovely wine. (4289 views) | | | Tasted by sooper65 on 10/5/2016 & rated 95 points: This is a wine that totally justifies its price in today's market.
Roumier is expensive these days, yes.
But this has stunning elegance, refinement, beautiful pure velvety fruit, and transcends all other versions of Morey St Denis. Gorgeous balance, with all sorts of pristinely ripe red fruits, fruits of the forest, and just everything that you could possibly want when you have a red burgundy craving. Utterly gorgeous. Pure delight. Chuffed that I have two bottles left. Not planning to share them. (3770 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 6/8/2016: Open 30 minutes before serving. Brooding and backward through almost hours in glass. Very good density and black fruit, but this needs more cellar time. I like the potential here a lot, but patience required, which is almost always my experience with this wine from most vintages.

Burgundy-Report (4/1/2009)
(Roumier Georges Morey St.Denis Clos de la Bussière) Very forward fruit on the nose - a meange of red fruits. Fresh, with a lovely 'mouth perfume' and shows a super width all the way to the finish. Very nice flavour on the finish. Reasonably tannic but a nice overall balance. A very tasty, precocious bottle. |

| Domaine G. Roumier / Christophe Roumier Producer websitePinot Noir Varietal character (Appellation America) | Varietal article (Wikipedia)
Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.
Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.
The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.
Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.
In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.
With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.
Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
