| Community Tasting Notes (average 96.8 pts. and median of 98 pts. in 8 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by fcxj on 12/13/2021 & rated 94 points: Older style, more vitamin and dark cherry aromatics. Deep palate, but less precision than newer vintages. (908 views) | | | Tasted by Button Yang on 10/8/2021 & rated 100 points: Another wine nearly at its prime.
Areation for 5 hours prior to consumption, the first glass was filled with endless floral and red fruit nose, where iris, violet, roses, raspberries composed orchestra playing.
Truffles and boletes ,together with Indian spices arose in the flower bouquets in the second glass, I could simply not describe properly the elegance of this wine at the moment;
The third glass was dominated by red fruits, some lovely cigar/tobacco nose decorated the sweet/spicy basis, which reminded me some northern Rhone "Divas" such as La Mouline or Chave, the touch was supple, full-bodied, with some polished but firm tannins, marvelous!
I bought it 11 years ago from a connoisseur based in Paris ——spending 1500 Euros——which was an incredibly high price at that time. But thinking about the rarity, I have nothing to regret. (798 views) | | | Tasted by _water.into.wine_ on 4/14/2020 & rated 100 points: Was this the perfect wine? It's hard to think how it could be any better. An intense nose of perfume and fruits. A palate so balanced and fresh. Perfect harmony and nothing out of place. This was definitely more red fruits than dark and displaying both femininity combined with some structured in the longer aftertaste that lingers. For me, this is up there with a DRC Richebourg 1985 for perfect wine. Shared by BV (1223 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 9/14/2018 & rated 98 points: Roumier Musigny vertical. Hard to believe I've had this 3x. That perfect vitamin stink. Freshness and balance are really something. The tastes just linger with super unique and pleasurable sarsaparilla finish. (2030 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 10/14/2017 & rated 98 points: Jasper CC. Quite grand, engaging and polished, and very Roumier. Vitamin reduction, which became floral, which became fresh Coke. Impressive autumnal, sweet and clean red fruit. Guessed Roumier BM. Way better bottle than last November and better than 2001 Leroy Musigny alongside. (1776 views) | | | Tasted by MikeyV on 10/14/2017 & rated 92 points: Hint of rose, thick texture, caramel, chocolate, honey, purity, floral. Great. (1638 views) | | | Tasted by Collector1855 on 7/10/2017 & rated 98 points: At a restaurant who has allocations of this. Always special to drink such a rare wine. Wonderful nose of spices and a touch of musk, red fruit. I like the slight gamey note, gives it great complexity. The palate is to die for, there is acidity, energy and tension, fine tannins offer a sappy finish. Tremendous length. My wife and I were just sitting there after some sips and counting how long the finish lingers. A really grand Musigy - out of this world price too... (2441 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 11/2/2016 & rated 94 points: Roumier Musigny dinner. Some called this a farmer's wine due to a little barnyard or smokiness and salinity. Terrific minerality, which left impression on me. (1431 views) |

| 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
