🏰The 2011 Georges Roumier Morey St Denis Clos de la Bussiere 1er Cru is a 【monopole that remains one of Roumier's most under-appreciated wines, offering a real treat for those who can cellar it】. This red Burgundy from a lighter vintage is praised for its amazing transparency and excellent detail. It presents dark plum and cherry notes, melding into cloves, menthol, and spices, with layered complexity and underlying minerality. While some critics noted a stemmy character, others highlighted its vivid transparency, killer length, and firm mineral core. Flavors of violet, cherry, currant, spice, and mineral contribute to its expressive profile. 🍴 This powerful and full-bodied Morey St Denis pairs wonderfully with meats of character. Consider game birds, juicy steaks, prime rib, or rich red meats like Châteaubriand. It also complements strong cheeses and mushroom-based dishes. 🥂 An excellent choice for a serious Burgundy collector, a special occasion demanding a nuanced and evolving red, or a contemplative tasting. Serve at 16-18°C (60-64°F) and consider decanting for an hour or two to allow its complex aromas to fully unfold.
