Producer Spotlight: Georges Roumier

Investing in Georges Roumier

Overview

In the storied village of Chambolle-Musigny, where Pinot Noir finds its most delicate and ethereal voice, Domaine Georges Roumier stands as one of Burgundy’s crown jewels. Founded in 1924 by Georges Roumier, the estate built its reputation parcel by parcel, developing a deep connection with some of the Côte de Nuits’ most celebrated terroirs.

When Georges’ grandson, Christophe Roumier, took over in 1990, he inherited not only extraordinary vineyards—Bonnes Mares, Musigny, Les Amoureuses—but a philosophy rooted in respect for the land and the pursuit of purity.

Christophe works with an almost obsessive attention to detail: low yields, precise vineyard work, and a restrained hand in the cellar. His approach allows the character of each site to emerge fully, resulting in wines that are simultaneously graceful, layered, and profoundly expressive.

From the silken texture of Chambolle-Musigny to the structure and depth of Bonnes Mares, every Roumier bottle carries a rare balance of refinement and intensity. These are wines that don’t shout—they speak with quiet authority, rewarding patience and offering a glimpse into the heart of Burgundy’s most treasured vineyards.

Georges Roumier, Musigny Grand Cru Label Index Tracker

Analyst Note - From Matthew Small (Head of Investment)

Domaine Georges Roumier is one of Burgundy’s most coveted names, with Musigny Grand Cru as its crown jewel. Produced from less than 0.1 hectare of vines, Roumier releases only a few hundred bottles each year, rarity that underpins its cult-like status.

From an investment perspective, the Roumier Musigny index has delivered 14.3% CAGR over the last decade, driven by enduring demand and scarcity. With a beta of 1.15, it tends to outperform in up markets, making it an attractive buy on drawdowns.

Dinner Party Story

When Christophe Roumier took over in the 1990s, he inherited illustrious parcels like Musigny and Bonnes-Mares, but also the pressure of preserving the family legacy. Instead of making grand proclamations, he quietly focused on meticulous vineyard care and gentle winemaking, letting these rare terroirs speak for themselves. Today, each bottle conveys a rare balance of refinement and intensity that feels like a private whisper from Burgundy's finest vineyards.
