Tasting notes for the Musigny Grand Cru 1985 - Domaine Georges Roumier
- EYE: The wine shows us a brilliant ruby red robe; a strong testament to its beautiful evolution over the years. Delicate purple nuances peppered here and there add a touch of liveliness to this rich and deep color.
- NOSE: Truly enchanting, there's no other word. Aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and wild strawberry, intertwine with notes of undergrowth, mushroom, and aged leather. Subtle hints of vanilla and sweet spices add an extra subtlety to this complex olfactory voyage.
- MOUTH: A refined and elegant tasting experience. The attack is soft and velvety, revealing a silky texture in the mouth. Flavors of red fruits unfold harmoniously, accompanied by notes of licorice, cocoa, and a delicate touch of cinnamon. The tannins are very well integrated, offering a balanced structure and a velvety sensation in the mouth. As for the finish, it feels like it would never end.
In short: This 1985 Musigny Grand Cru produced by the renowned Domaine Georges Roumier is a remarkable wine that ages with elegance. Its brilliant ruby red robe catches the eye, while its enchanting nose offers a complex range of aromas of red fruits, undergrowth, and sweet spices. On the palate, the experience is refined, with a perfect harmony between fruity flavors and spicier notes. This vintage pairs ideally with delicate dishes such as duck with cherries, herb-crusted lamb chops, or soft cheese. It can be enjoyed now to appreciate its beautiful evolution, but remember that it still has additional aging potential in the cellar for another 5 to 10 years, for those who prefer even more mature wines.

Fine wines of Chambolle-Musigny
The Domaine Georges Roumier was created back in 1924, when Georges married Geneviève Quanquin. The newlyweds decided to take care of the vineyard belonging to Geneviève's family and started their winemaking business. Over the years, Georges' talent as a winemaker made this little Burgundian estate the talk of the town. In 1961, his son Jean-Marie took the helm of the estate, until 1981. Today, Christophe (Georges Roumier's grandson) is the one managing the legendary domaine.
He takes the utmost care of the 12 hectares of vineyard, growing near the small village of Chambolle-Musigny, in the Côte de Nuits. As a way to show respect for the family traditions, and for the nature that has given him so much, Christophe has sworn to never use any chemical fertilizer. He even spends extra time pampering the oldest grapevines, which he thinks make the best wine. Per choice, yields are low (only 40,000 bottles per year), which means his different vintages can become quite rare.
Thanks to his hard work and a keen interest in international trade (a Japanese export office was established in 1987), Christophe turned the name "Georges Roumier" into a world renown brand. The wines he produces are all incredibly complex and balanced, able to reach their peak after just a few years of cellaring.
