Tasting notes
The 2013s from Roumier are lovely – and even the Clos de la Bussiére is quite forward currently. The nose is perhaps a bit introvert but offering a vinous range of dark berries – quite rich but not very complex currently. On the palate red and dark berry fruit – juicy and vibrant with notes of dark cherries, plum, boysenberries – intense yet quite nimble and forward for a young Roumier. A lovely effort... elegant for the vintage. Sep 2016, www.winehog.com

Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Clos de la Bussiere has a composed bouquet with cranberry and brambly black fruit, the oak neatly integrated here though tightly wound. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin, cedar-tinged black fruit, a little spiciness here with some dryness just curtailing the creamy-textured finish. There is class here but I maintain that it was not Christophe's best in 2013. Tasted September 2016 Nov 2016, www.robertparker.com
