Histoire du domaine
The estate was founded in 1924, when Georges Roumier married Geneviève Quanquin, who came from a family that owned vineyards in Chambolle-Musigny. Georges Roumier then expanded the estate and introduced on-site bottling, at a time when the wine merchant sector still largely dominated the industry. His son Jean-Marie officially succeeded him in 1961. During the 1950s, the estate expanded, notably with vineyards in Bonnes-Mares and the Clos de la Bussière in Morey-Saint-Denis, acquired in 1953. A plot of Corton-Charlemagne was acquired in 1968; it produced its first vintage under the name Jean-Marie Roumier in 1974. Christophe Roumier, a graduate in oenology, joined his father in 1981. From the 1983 vintage onwards, the entire harvest has been bottled at the estate. Since Jean-Marie Roumier’s retirement in 1990, Christophe Roumier has managed the estate, whilst his sister Delphine plays an active role in the family business. He personally oversees the winemaking process; the estate’s practices include hand-harvesting, the use of indigenous yeasts and ageing in a limited proportion of new oak. The vineyard covers approximately 12.5 hectares, a significant portion of which is farmed under a family lease.
