2017 Roumier Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru Clos de Bussieres 750ml

Wine Advocate: 90-92 Points
The 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Clos de la Bussière is a real success, and decidedly reminiscent of the domaine's excellent 2007. Offering up aromas of sweet red berries, warm spices, peony and subtle soil tones, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a fine core of fruit that cloaks its rich but fine-grained tannic chassis. While it's an elegant rendition of the Clos de la Bussière, this always needs bottle age.

Burghound: 91-93 Points
Here there is enough reduction to overshadow the fruit today. Otherwise there is a fleshy, even velvety, mouthfeel to the nicely voluminous medium-bodied flavors that flash focused power on the ever-so-mildly rustic and beautifully complex finale that delivers sneaky good length. This is finer than it usually is and should amply reward extended keeping.

Vinous: 90-92 Points
The 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis Clos de la Bussière 1er Cru has a broody blackberry and briar bouquet, nicely defined and très Morey. The palate is taut and fresh on the entry, a fine bead of acidity tying everything together. An elegant, refined Morey-Saint-Denis with an unprepossessing finish that is just a joy.
