Christophe Roumier uses very traditional winemaking practices and prefers his vines relatively old and carefully pruned.  The resulting wines are classic and beautifully balanced with superb ageablility yet lovely while young too.

 

"Deep ruby. A pretty and very high-toned nose features a beguiling mix of red and black berry fruit and hints of underbrush and spice that introduce rich, precise and wonderfully fresh flavors that display a mineral streak on the energetic and persistent finish. A very attractive villages and worth a look plus it should deliver 5 to 7 years of upside development." Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (rated 89, also 89 by David Schildknecht of the Wine Advocate).
