Domaine Christophe Roumier
Roumier describes 2000 as a lighter-styled vintage, but light in a good way: soft, silky, appealing . . . very Burgundy. The thin-skinned grapes, said Roumier, did not possess a lot of potential in terms of tannin and color. There was a bit of rot in some parcels in 2000, but the affected grapes were very easy to remove, Roumier added. Virtually all the parcels came in with 13% or more natural sugar "but without the corresponding structure one would expect from grapes so ripe." So even though production here was about 20% lower than that of '99, the '00s are less concentrated and structured wines. Roumier did a bit more extraction by extending the maceration longer after the fermentations ended. His 2000s have also benefitted from late malos; following a first racking in September, they were still on their fine lees in early November and thus won't be bottled as early as Roumier initially planned. Compared to the best recent vintages from this top producer, the 2000s just miss on verve and complexity of aromas. But the wines will offer substantial early pleasure, and the estate top three or four cuvees are impressive in the context of the vintage. Roumier's '99s have turned out splendidly.
