Domaine Georges & Christophe Roumier Clos De La Bussiere 2017
S$880.00
Precision and poise—elegant structure with vivid clarity.
The 2017 Clos de la Bussière from Roumier is a finely balanced wine that showcases purity over power. This vintage delivers lifted red fruit—cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry—wrapped in delicate floral and mineral tones. The palate is vibrant and refined, with silky tannins and fresh acidity driving a long, graceful finish. Less brooding than riper years like 2015, it captures the charm and finesse of the vintage while retaining the hallmark structure of this Premier Cru site. A wine of focus, freshness, and quiet confidence.

Tasting Notes
Emphasizes clarity, finesse, and structure. On the nose, it offers precise aromas of fresh red cherry, wild raspberry, and cranberry, layered with violet, dried rose, and subtle hints of pepper, earth, and crushed stone. The palate is taut and energetic, with juicy red fruit flavors carried by bright acidity and framed by silky yet firm tannins.
Pairings
Ideal options include roast duck with cherry glaze, herb-marinated pork tenderloin, or grilled squab with thyme and wild mushrooms, which complement its bright red fruit and earthy notes. For a vegetarian pairing, try beetroot and goat cheese tart, roasted root vegetables with rosemary, or wild mushroom risotto to match its subtle forest floor nuances. Cheese lovers can enjoy it with aged Gruyère, Tomme de Savoie, or a mild Époisses, allowing the wine’s refined structure and minerality to shine.
Decant
30 to 45-minute decant is recommended. This gentle aeration helps open up the wine’s elegant red fruit aromas and softens its fine tannins, revealing more of its floral and mineral complexity
Drinking Window
2022 through 2035. It is currently entering a phase of approachable drinking with vibrant fruit and fresh acidity, but it also has the structure and balance to age gracefully for another decade or more.
