Domaine Laurent Roumier’s Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru is the estate’s flagship village expression, produced from the family’s holdings in the Premier Cru vineyards of the Chambolle-Musigny appellation. The wine reflects the Roumier family’s intimate familiarity with this village’s terroir and the light, perfumed, minerally precise Pinot Noir style that has made Chambolle-Musigny one of the most admired and commercially sought-after appellations in the Côte de Nuits. Where the village wines of the most commercially prominent Chambolle domaines command prices that reflect celebrity as much as quality, the Laurent Roumier Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru provides access to a closely related terroir and winemaking philosophy at a price point that reflects the domaine’s more modest commercial profile.

Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru covers a range of sites within the village appellation, with the finest including Les Amoureuses immediately below Musigny, Fuées, Charmes and Chatelots among the most highly regarded. Laurent Roumier’s holdings reflect the inheritance of vineyard parcels within this excellent appellation rather than the acquisition strategy of a commercially expanding estate, and the wines produced from these parcels carry the unpretentious quality of a grower who farms with care and makes wine with a clear understanding of what his terroir requires. The 2022 vintage’s warmth produced Chambolle-Musigny of excellent aromatic appeal and supple tannin structure, providing an early drinking pleasure that the village’s style favours.

A Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru from a Roumier family member, in a vintage of the quality of 2022, is a reliable and honest expression of everything that this celebrated village can offer: fragrance, mineral precision, silky tannins and the kind of elegant, unhurried quality that defines the finest red Burgundy at any level. For collectors who value provenance and authenticity over marketing weight, this is an ideal acquisition.

Ruby with a delicately perfumed nose of red cherry, violet, fresh rose, light spice and a fine mineral thread from the village limestone soils. Light to medium-bodied with silky tannins, excellent natural acidity and a long, floral, mineral finish of genuine Chambolle-Musigny character and elegance. Best from 2026 through 2038.
