WINE DESCRIPTION

Domaine G. Roumier Bourgogne Rouge is a family-run estate that has been overseen by the talented Christophe Roumier, the third-generation winemaker. The grapes for this wine tend to come from holdings in Gilly-lès-Cîteaux. The berries are sorted and mostly destemmed, the exact percentage depending on vineyard and vintage, then placed in wooden fermenters. The juice is given a cool soak to increase extraction of color and aromatics prior to the fermentation. Maturation typically takes place in barrel, with larger proportions of new oak used for the Premier and Grand Cru wines.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Domaine G. Roumier Bourgogne Rouge is a beautifully defined and detailed red wine with aromas of red cherries and raspberries.On the palate, this wine is silky and elegant, with lifted acidity that brings freshness to the layers of red fruit and earthy minerality. Whilst the wine is not hugely concentrated or powerful, it shows superb balance and precision. The finish is relatively persistent showing excellent depth and definition for a generic level Bourgogne Rouge quality wine.
