1996 Roumier Morey-St. Denis Premier Cru Clos de la Bussiere Burgundy France
The Roumier family acquired the six-acre Clos de la Bussiere vineyard in 1953 and built their family home there. The vineyard’s predominately clay-like soil provides a tight, firmly structured wine with complex flavors of minerals and fruit. The 1996 Clos de la Bussiere offers red cherry fruit, herbs, and a stony, earthy note. Drinkable now, this gem will be best from 2002-2006.
Price: $85,00

1996 Roumier Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru Burgundy France
Christophe Roumier makes his Ruchottes Chambertin from vines farmed en metayage, that is, he receives a proportion of the crop in return for maintaining the vineyard. His Ruchottes Chambertin is often the best wine in his cellar. This 1996 is a fabulous red Burgundy with delectable, intense, dark berry fruit, spice, smoke, and vanilla oak. Showing ample, yet seductive tannins, the wine will drink best between 2005-2012.
Price: $249,00
