2019 Domaine Georges & Christophe Roumier Clos de la Bussiere Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru France

Press

"From a 2.59ha monopole of the domaine in Morey and fermented a bit more than half as whole clusters. The result is impressively dense, with a darker, plummy cast to the fruit and notes of bramble and garrigue. There is plenty of structure here, but also a surprising elegance and finesse. The wine comes together to a surprisingly persistent finish."."

Rated 95 Points Decanter

"Spicy freshness in the straight, ample flesh of the very persistent morey, whose fleshy, energetic tannins take on a clay-like but refined build. (2022)"

Rated 95 Points La Revue du Vin de France

"Glowing fresh purple, and indeed a fresher quality of purple fruit. Tightly knit with a powerful dark fruit behind, a little bit wilder in the finish, always characteristic, with a firm structure and considerable ageing potential. (Nov 2020)"

"The 2019 Morey-Saint-Denis Clos de La Bussière 1er Cru, which includes 55% whole bunch, has a transparent and distinctly marine-influenced, oyster-shell tinged bouquet. It is a little more floral than previous vintages – delicate, even. The palate is medium-bodied with a quite saline, lightly spiced entry. Touches of white pepper and clove develop toward the finish of what is a superior Clos de la Bussière to the 2018. Very promising."

Rated 93 Points Vinous 

 "Ripe yet agreeably fresh aromas include those of poached plum, spice, violet and plenty of newly turned earth wisps. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the fleshy and rounded medium-bodied flavors that terminate in a firm, mildly rustic and warm finale. This should repay a decade plus of keeping yet be approachable after 6 to 8 years if that's your preference."
