The 2014 Morey St Denis 1er Cru Clos de la Bussière has a slightly earthy bouquet with fine definition and red berry fruit with a touch of bay leaf. The palate is fresh and crisp: supple tannin, lovely balance here and freshness, and that mineral seam peaking over the surface towards the tensile and poised finish. The is suffused with wonderful purity and nervosité. Yum yum! Whenever I meet Christophe Roumier, I get the impression of a Burgundy superstar in the eye of a storm. Around him, the world over, Roumier is the Holy Grail for collectors bidding astronomical sums for bottles that bear his family name. There is a cavalcade of visitors yearning to tour his cellars and meet the man...just to look at his barrel-and-a-bit of Musigny would be enough. And Christophe himself? Well, he just the usual down to earth, self-effacing gentleman that he always is and always will be. He's just concerned with his vines and his winery. All the hullabaloo out there beyond Chambolle? Well, sometimes I think he would prefer if it could all be left to the likes of DRC and Leroy. Christophe never asked to be an icon.
