Tasting notes for the Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru 1995 - Domaine Georges Roumier

  • EYE: At first glance, it's the deep garnet red color that draws you in. Subtle copper reflections add a nice touche to this intense hue.
  • NOSE: A captivating wine. Aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and raspberry, intertwine harmoniously with notes of undergrowth, truffle, and exotic spices. Delicate hints of tobacco and leather make this complex and enchanting picture even more interesting.
  • MOUTH: The tasting is a splendid experience. Initially, the attack is velvety, giving way to a silky and generous texture in the mouth. Flavors of red fruits unfold elegantly, accompanied by nuances of cocoa, licorice, and subtle hints of undergrowth. Well-integrated tannins give this grand cru a refined and balanced structure. The finish is persistent, leaving a delightful sensation on the palate.

In short: This Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru 1995 from the Domaine Georges Roumier charms us with its elegance and complexity. Its intense garnet red color speaks of its maturity. On the nose, the captivating bouquet offers a symphony of aromas of ripe red fruits, spices, and earthy notes. On the palate, the experience is enchanting, with a velvety texture and flavors of red fruits balanced by woody nuances. This grand cru goes wonderfully with dishes such as grilled ribeye steaks, quail with mushrooms, or hard cheeses. Currently at its peak, it can be cellared for another 5-15 years for those who wish to appreciate its further evolution and increased maturity over the years.

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.
