Domaine Georges Roumier

Domaine Georges Roumier is situated in Chambolle-Musigny in the Côte de Nuits. The wines from this domaine are considered one of  Burgundy's most costly and sought-after wines.

The history of this estate started in 1924 when Georges Roumier married Genevieve Quanquin. He took over their family vineyards in Chambolle-Musigny and started to expand the property. Instead of buying parcels, Georges Roumier used the French practise of “metayage” (sharecropping) to enlarge the domaine. He cultivated the land for the original owner in return for a part of the production. Roumier began domaine-bottling in 1945.

When Georges Roumier died in 1965, his son Jean-Marie already assisted his father (since 1957). Thereafter Christophe (Jean-Marie’s son), became the successor in 1992 and is the domaine's current winemaker. MORE ...
