During my time in Burgundy,
I visited Domaine Georges Roumier.
Tasting the wines in the cellar was not simply about assessing flavors,
but about engaging with the philosophy and attitude behind them.
Guided by Christophe Roumier’s gentle, thoughtful,
and deeply passionate explanations,
the tasting of the 2023 vintage from barrel
naturally extended to more than three hours.
Through his words and demeanor,
one could clearly sense the sincerity and dedication
he brings to his work.
The reason these wines are loved by so many around the world
lies not only in their quality,
but also in the character of the person who makes them.
Wine reflects not only land and time,
but also the humanity of its maker —
a truth that this visit once again affirmed.
