"The 2008 Morey-Saint-Denis Clos de La Bussière is sweet, sensual and totally beguiling, Dark cherries, herbs, violets and white flowers are some of the nuances that emerge from this precise, striking wine. An underpinning of minerality accentuates the energy of the fruit and the wine's overall persistence. This is a gorgeous 2008. My visit with Christophe Roumier was one of the highlights of the two weeks I spent in Burgundy earlier in the year. The range of 2009s is simply extraordinary, and The 2008s aren't too far behind. Most of The 2009s were in tank, awaiting imminent bottling. Roumier began harvesting on September 12." Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com, May 2011 |
