This historic monopole walled vineyard, owned exclusively by Roumier, sits on the southern edge of Morey-Saint-Denis and consistently delivers a wine that marries Morey’s natural power with Christophe Roumier’s signature elegance. The superb 2020 vintage shows layers of black cherry, raspberry, violet, spice, crushed stone, and earthy depth with silky texture, vibrant freshness, and finely built structure. A serious collector’s Burgundy with immediate allure and outstanding aging potential.

"The 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis Clos de la Bussière ler Cru has an attractive bouquet with dark berry fruit, crushed stone and light iris flower scents. Impressive freshness. The palate is medium-bodied with a sapid, oyster shell-tinged entry. It shows black fruit rather than red and a typical Morey-like backbone, but I appreciate the sapidity on the finish. Bon vin. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting." Vinous 94
