Domaine Georges & Christophe Roumier is one of Burgundy’s most revered family estates, celebrated for wines that combine remarkable purity with an almost effortless sense of place. While the domaine is best known for its prestigious holdings in Chambolle-Musigny and Bonnes-Mares, the Bourgogne Rouge receives the same meticulous attention in both vineyard and cellar, making it one of the most sought-after wines at its level.
The 2023 vintage captures the domaine’s hallmark elegance and precision. Sourced from carefully tended vineyards across the Côte de Nuits, it offers an accessible introduction to the Roumier style while retaining a seriousness that sets it apart from many regional Burgundies. Vinified with a light touch and aged in oak that supports rather than dominates, the wine is all about purity of fruit, balance and finesse.
Expect vibrant aromas of red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, alongside subtle floral notes and a hint of spice. The palate is silky and energetic, with bright red fruit, fine tannins and a freshness that carries through to a long, graceful finish. A Bourgogne Rouge in name perhaps, but unmistakably Roumier in character.

Vintage report
The 2023 growing season in Burgundy unfolded like a cautionary tale about climate change, then pulled off a last-minute redemption that left everyone rather stunned. After a warm, early spring pushed budbreak ahead of schedule, the vines endured a thoroughly miserable summer of persistent rain and cool temperatures that had growers muttering darkly about rot and dilution. Just when things looked dire, September arrived with glorious sunshine and dry winds that concentrated the fruit and saved the harvest—though not without some frantic sorting in the cellars.
What emerged from this meteorological rollercoaster are wines that wear their vintage on their sleeve: Pinot Noirs with bright, singing acidity and red fruit that feels almost crystalline in its purity, whilst the Chardonnays show remarkable tension and mineral drive. The reds are drinking beautifully now if you fancy immediate pleasure, but we suspect the better villages and premiers crus will reward patience over the next decade. It's not a powerhouse vintage, but there's something genuinely charming about these wines—they remind us why we fell for Burgundy in the first place.
