Christophe Roumier, Charmes Chambertin Aux Mazoyeres Grand Cru, 2018
The 2018 Christophe Roumier Charmes-Chambertin Aux Mazoyeres Grand Cru is a red Burgundy made from Pinot Noir. The 2018 vintage in Burgundy was described as peculiar, with beautiful fruit, higher acidity and alcohol levels, and softer tannins compared to 2003. Christophe Roumier noted that the tannins were less astringent than in 2003, and tartaric levels were low, similar to 2005 or even 1990. He aimed for riper skins, accepting slightly higher alcohol to ensure ripe tannins. The wines felt fresher after malolactic fermentation, which in some cases finished later. Roumier typically uses 20-30% whole clusters and 15-30% new oak for his fermentations and aging, favoring purity of flavor and texture over overt oak presence. While specific tasting notes for the 2018 Aux Mazoyeres are limited without subscriptions, general descriptions of Charmes-Chambertin from Roumier often highlight finesse, elegance, and a beautiful medium-bodied fruit set with great balance. 【Produced by a legendary domaine known for unbelievably high quality and rarity】.
Food pairing suggestions: Duck, goose, and game birds. Also pairs well with roasted lamb, mushroom-based dishes, or fine cheeses.
Event suggestions: This is a wine for a truly special occasion, such as a milestone anniversary, a significant birthday, or an intimate gathering of serious wine connoisseurs. Its rarity and pedigree make it a centerpiece.
BACKGROUND
Domaine Georges Roumier is a wine producer based in the Côte de Nuits village of Chambolle-Musigny that produces some of the most expensive, best-rated and most popular wines in Burgundy. The winery did not purchase the land directly, but used the French sharecropper/lease system, in which individuals farmed the land for the owner in exchange for a certain percentage of agricultural products. Now, Christophe has taken over the work of the winery and has become the owner of the winery. The current winemaker of the village. He pays close attention to terroir, so little new oak is used, and fermentation temperatures are kept low to allow the wine’s delicious flavors and aromas to shine through.
