Domaine Georges Roumier

Founded in Chambolle-Musigny, Domaine Georges Roumier is one of Burgundy’s most admired wine estates. Each bottle of Pinot Noir embodies the estate’s values of craftsmanship and precision, rooted in an unwavering respect for terroir.

The estate’s story began in 1924, when Geneviève Quanquin’s vineyard holdings formed part of her dowry upon marrying Georges Roumier. In 1945, Georges advanced the estate’s reputation by adopting domaine bottling, a move which helped define Roumier as a leader in Burgundy.

Successive generations have continued Georges’s legacy, with the domaine remaining family owned. The estate spans roughly 12 hectares across Burgundy’s most storied sites. From the Premier Cru vineyards of Chambolle-Musigny to the Grands Crus of Bonnes-Mares and Musigny, each plot is treated with the utmost care and attention to detail.

The unique expression of each wine is in part due to the sustainable practices of the estate. Domaine Georges Roumier focuses on preserving the natural balance of the vineyards while nurturing the health of the soil and vines.

At its core, the domaine resists imposing style. Christophe Roumier, who joined the estate in 1981, elevated Roumier to global acclaim with his thoughtful, minimalist winemaking style. He once said, ‘We don’t make Pinot Noir; we make wines from terroir which expresses itself through Pinot Noir.’

This approach results in wines celebrated for their finesse, aromatic depth and long aging potential. Legendary vintages include 1945 and 1990, while modern highlights such as 2002 Les Amoureuses, 2005 Bonnes‑Mares, 2009 Bonnes‑Mares and 2015 Musigny remain among the most coveted by collectors.

Today, the domaine continues to craft some of Burgundy’s most sought‑after wines, embodying elegance, precision and the enduring beauty of great Pinot Noir.
