Bonnes Mares 2019 75cl

One of the great estates in Chambolle-Musigny, Domaine Georges Roumier was founded in 1924 by Georges Roumier. Georges began domaine-bottling in 1945, and this was later carried on by his son, Jean-Marie and later in turn, carried on by his son, Christophe in 1982. Christophe is currently at the helm. Most of the vines are rented from family members (en fermage) while the Ruchottes-Chambertin is on a sharecropping contract (en métayage). The estate produces some of the top appellations, including both Chambolle Grand Crus - Bonnes-Mares and Musigny - as well as two of Chambolle's best Premier Crus - Les Cras and Les Amoureuses. The wines are vinified in wooden vats which are temperature-controlled to better respect the freshness of the fruit. Christophe's goals over the years have been to produce more and more precise wines and he has been succeeding, as they are some of the most refined, polished and sculpted in the region.
