| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.3 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 52 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by dagij on 11/5/2023 & rated 88 points: I've tasted this wine over quite some years, and this is not representative. The color is still quite dark, although there are amber tones all the way through to the core. The nose is muted at first, but then gives way to some dried flowers, warm earth, some dried fruit, and a woody tone. It is the mouth that worries me the most: quite full bodied and drying on the first attack, a dryness that keeps on expanding into the finish. Fine notes of dried cherries and raspberries on the mid palate, but the aftertaste is quite heavy and dry. I know that 05 was a full bodied vintage, but this is just too much. It also starts to loose some fruit. A good wine, but still disappointing. An off bottle? (999 views) | | | Tasted by NickBurwood on 3/12/2023 & rated 93 points: Two bottles decanted together. In a sweet spot since my last note (2020). Excellent and classic.
Now till 2025. (1397 views) | | | Tasted by esburgundy on 11/23/2022: Wine is in great place just turning secondary, hints of cherries and chocolate. Yum. (1588 views) | | | Tasted by fatboi on 11/11/2022 & rated 93 points: very tasty. last bottle of the night but delicious. Jammy but starting to strut.no notes 93/94 (1715 views) | | | Tasted by BenBlu on 7/11/2022 & rated 92 points: A very fruit forward wine (wedged in between for me two fined CLB reds), with ample dark blue fruits, ripe but not overly so with suffient sap to make it an easy drinking wine even now. It came across as way younger though, some called it 2015. It surely needs another 10 years to hit its prime window and more nuances will evolve. Today an enjoyable "baby" fruit bomb. (2512 views) | | | Tasted by Jammy Wine on 6/12/2022 & rated 89 points: The 2005 Roumier Clos de la Bussière is still tightly wound. Bright red fruits and iron rich earth. Chewy texture with a ripe and firm grip of tannins. Good complexity and certainly one of the best Roumier Bussière I’ve had, but it lacks the floral bouquet and lightness compared to the Mugneret Gibourg served before it. (89/100) (2247 views) | | | Tasted by dagij on 2/26/2022 & rated 92 points: Deep red for a burgundy, few signs of old age her. Smoky tones emerge at first, then mineral tones of crushed stone, and then fruit aromas of sweet cherries and ripe strawberries, and finally a hint of vanilla. Complex. Medium to full bodied attack, lots of fruit - cherries and strawberries - up front, then the somewhat dry tannins kick in on the finish while the aftertaste fans out in sweet strawberry and raspberry tones. Fresh, nicely balanced, very good concentration. A wine in its prime right now with a very fine combination of fruit and beginning tertiary aromas. This is better than what I remember. (1816 views) | | | Tasted by dream on 11/1/2021 & rated 92 points: A lovely lick of cherry fruit in a lean package. Not overly complex at this point but still delicious with crisp acidity in a subtle style. (2289 views) | | | Tasted by dbkitc on 8/31/2021 & rated 88 points: I’m going to let these sit for a while. This is my second bottle in a week and while better than the last bottle, it’s really not that impressive. The case was bought upon release and cellared in ideal conditions. The color is solid and the nose is fine - similar to the last bottle with maybe a hit of surmaturite. The palate has more depth but is still tannic and green in the finish. Does not meet expectations or my experience with this producer. (88?) (2466 views) | | | Tasted by dbkitc on 8/30/2021 & rated 84 points: Yikes. Not so good. Brick with a deep middle. Framboise shoots out of the glass and almost covers a late fall earthiness. The palate is tight and cranberry infused. Muscular. Awkward. I don’t know what’s wrong but just seems off. Not a lot of pleasure here. Not used to this from Roumier. I have stood up another bottle to try soon. This was not a good experience. No obvious flaw. (84) (2113 views) | | | Tasted by BradE on 8/17/2021: I've always liked this vintage of Bussiere, and tonight's bottle was no exception. One of the few 2005's that is joyfully open, and it's a lovely wine. (2244 views) | | | Tasted by rossi.wine on 7/21/2021 & rated 94 points: Expressive nose - ripe red and dark fruit, spices, undergrowth, minerality. Quite complete and really well balanced on the palate - well integrated acidity, good concentration of fruit with a fine mineral steak leading towards a persistent, intense finish. Very elegant. No rush drinking up. 93-95 (2244 views) | | | Tasted by olemski on 5/31/2021 & rated 93 points: Pretty similar to my previous (and also superlative) bottle. This time the oriental spices dominated the nose, but the whole experience was certainly on the same exalted level. 2005 continues to impress me. (1858 views) | | | Tasted by Larslatour on 5/21/2021 & rated 94 points: Beautiful, elegant, bought in Oslo 2008, resting 13 years in my cellar. Was worth waiting for. (1702 views) | | | Tasted by NickBurwood on 10/27/2020: Failed to read/act on my note of earlier this year. Perfectly drinkable but currently closed up and hiding its full c.93?+pt potential.
Will hold until 2022 before broaching my next and descend immediately into my cellar and tag my remaining bottles accordingly!! (2323 views) | | | Tasted by paul195 on 10/13/2020 & rated 93 points: #3 of 12. Double decanted at 3:00. Deep ruby color, little sign of age. I generally agree with BradE’s nite from earlier this year. With a proper decant this is ready for early drinking enjoyment. Dark cherry fruited, softening tannins, serious density matched with balance and structure. This should improve further with age. But if you have a few no reason to hold off enjoying one. (2131 views) | | | Tasted by olemski on 9/27/2020 & rated 93 points: Quite outstanding aroma of sous bois, oriental spices and a supple fruit running through as a balancing element. Sinewy and supple body. It's just where it should be, and I'm so happy I have more of this in my cellar. Now it appears sane that I went completely over board with the 2005s. (2031 views) | | | Tasted by Rani on 9/10/2020 & rated 90 points: Candles black cherry, velvety texture, dusty and earthy, fine but persistent dry tannins and a slight bitter after taste. This is in a weird place right now, a bit stiff - I’ll wait with my next bottle to 2024. (1941 views) | | | Tasted by NickBurwood on 6/7/2020: Extraordinary! Has actually closed back up since my last (2016) note.
It's all there but tightly coiled. Enjoyable enough but in a narrow profile at present.
Will hold till 2022 and have another go. I'm confident will return to its 91+?+ level in due course. (2274 views) | | | Tasted by Hanibal on 3/11/2020 & rated 91 points: still closed (2700 views) | | | Tasted by BradE on 1/26/2020: This bottle was singing from the first sip at decant through dinner. Quickly double decanted three hours prior to drinking. It caught everyone's eye with its kaleidoscope of earthy fruits. Fortunately, our sub-par bottle of a few months ago was an aberration. (2389 views) | | | Tasted by hselte on 12/18/2019: Not in a charming corner. Everything in place, but not fitting together. At 88-89p, but may be it is me who is not in position to appreciate this wine tonight? (2215 views) | | | Tasted by BradE on 10/24/2019: My previous bottles were from a different source than this new bottle. This wasn't up to the standards of previous bottles and hopefully is an aberration. (2602 views) | | | Tasted by PGIF on 8/11/2019 & rated 92 points: This was a pleasant surprise. I expected a backward, black-fruited tannic wine in need of another decade of cellar time. The wine is actually in the red fruit, medium bodied range, very approachable now, but with the structure to last a good long while. Fresh and fruity with no sharp edges. Really enjoyable. (2581 views) | | | Tasted by paul195 on 12/26/2017 & rated 93 points: Drank alongside 2005 Roumier Chambolle Musigny
Consistent with the bottle a few months ago, dark fruited serious glass of burgundy. It really benefits from a couple of hours in a decanter. Just starting to show its stuff. Quite a contrast to the CM which was lighter styled and had a red fruit dominant profile. Very good wine now, promising future (4598 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

Burgundy-Report (4/1/2009)
(Roumier Georges Morey St.Denis Clos de la Bussière) Medium-plus colour. Forward, concentrated aromas of darker fruit with a little more depth than the 2006, faint white pepper notes too. Plenty of fine grained tannin, dense, concentrated and only slowly revealing its wares. A very long, though subtle, finish. I would actually say that this is a little in its shell, despite all that's here to find. Super. | By Richard Jennings

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
