In November, we explored one of Burgundy’s legendary wines from Domaine Georges Roumier.
The evening provided a rare opportunity to taste an incredible 20 vintages of the estate’s prized Grand Cru bottling, Bonnes Mares, starting with the 2020 followed by every vintage back to 2000.
The evening began with a Champagne reception of Henri Giraud MV10 from magnum at the Connaught Hotel’s private dining Maple Room. Following this, the Wine Advocate’s Burgundy expert William Kelley guided us through the magnificent Bonnes Mares vertical tasting which was accompanied by an exquisite five courses prepared by the expert Connaught team to complement these breathtaking Burgundies.
Domaine Georges Roumier has long been a star domaine of Chambolle-Musigny, bottling their own wines since 1945. But it is under Christophe Roumier’s stewardship that this estate has reached true icon status.
During this tasting, which we will publish an article on shortly, we explored the domaine’s top Grand Cru over two decades, including some of Roumier’s greatest wines to date.
