2019 Roumier Morey-St-Denis 1er Cru Clos de la Bussiere

About This Wine

I have a soft spot for Bussière. I've had so many great experiences with the wine that it's impossible not to.

John Gilman captures Bussière well when he writes, it's "deep complex and very long-lived... and is very deserving of a place in any conscientiously-stocked Burgundy collection."

The 1er Cru Clos de la Bussière sits in the southern section of Morey at the border of Chambolle and is a monopole. It lies below the Grand Cru Clos de Tart and has very stony soil. The 2019 is a fascinating version of the wine. It possesses some of the vintage's enveloping fruit character but also has real snap and minerality. There's power and edge, but also suaveness and finesse. Bussière ages beautifully. A bottle of 1995 that we drank a few years ago was gorgeous and still holding plenty in reserve.
