Clos de la Bussière: a Morey-Saint-Denis monopole with a long history.
Situated at the southern end of Morey-Saint-Denis, close to the border with Chambolle-Musigny, Clos de la Bussière is a 2.59-hectare Premier Cru owned entirely by Domaine Georges Roumier.
The walled vineyard has Cistercian origins and was once owned by the Abbey of La Bussière. The Roumier family acquired the vineyard in the 1950s and has farmed it ever since.
Despite its position towards Chambolle-Musigny, Clos de la Bussière often shows plenty of structure. Its rocky subsoil and iron-rich clay can give the w**es darker fruit, firm tannins and good depth.
It is a great example of why Morey-Saint-Denis cannot simply be described as the middle ground between Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny. Even within this small appellation, differences in soil and vineyard position create very different expressions of Pinot Noir.
Pictured here is the 2007 Domaine G. Roumier Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Clos de la Bussière, which also happens to feature in our latest offer.
We recently published a new article on our website about Morey-Saint-Denis, covering its history, terroir, Premier Crus and Grand Crus.
If you want to know more about what makes Morey-Saint-Denis so interesting, it is well worth a read.
