Domaine Georges Roumier In 1924 Georges Roumier took over the running of the Domaine which had previously belonged to his wife's family in Chambolle Musigny. In 1945 Georges Roumier began the practice of Domaine-bottling, whereas previously the production had been sold to local négociants. The Domaine has subsequently been expanded with acquisitions such as, Le Clos de la Bussière in Morey St Denis in 1953 and in Musigny in 1978. Today the Domaine is jointly run by Jean-Marie Roumier and his son Christophe Roumier and consists of approximately 12 hectares of vineyards spread over nine separate appellations. The vines are cultivated without using weed killers or fertilizers and the grapes are hand-harvested before a rigorous sorting and partial destemming. Both pre and post-fermentation maceration are used, in order to allow the natural yeasts to develop with the former, and to encourage the development of fleshier tannins in the latter. The total time in vat varies from 18 to 23 days. Four Grand Cru wines are produced; Bonnes-Mares, Musigny, Clos de Vougeot and Corton-Charlemagne as well as a number of Premier Cru wines, such as Chambolle-Musigny, Les Cras and Les Amoureuses.
