Located in Chambolle-Musigny, Domaine Georges Roumier is managed by Christophe Roumier, one of the most talented and respected winemakers in the world.

Presentation of the Cuvée and the Appellation

Corton-Charlemagne is one of Burgundy's five white Grand Crus. Located on the top of the Corton hill, it benefits from unique exposure and limestone white marl soils.

This 2022 bottle is fitted with a holographic security seal on the capsule, ensuring the perfect traceability and authenticity of this exceptional bottle.

For Corton-Charlemagne, 2022 offers rich substance and aromatic scope, making it one of the greatest aging vintages of the decade.

Bottle Condition

The bottle is in absolutely perfect condition. The label is immaculate, the level is perfect, and the capsule is protected by its original sealed authentication system. An ideal bottle for investment or to enrich a prestigious cellar.

Tasting Notes

Pale gold color with green reflections. The nose is breathtakingly complex: ripe citrus, toasted almond, flint, and a saline touch. On the palate, the wine is monumental, filling the entire space with its power while remaining aerially delicate. The finish, typical of Roumier's great Charlemagne wines, lingers for long minutes on notes of chalk and white flowers.

Food and Wine Pairings

• Roasted blue lobster with semi-salted butter
• Wild turbot with candied lemon cream
• Veal sweetbreads with white truffles
• Aged Comté (36 months) or old Swiss Alpine Gruyère

Serving Suggestions

• Serving temperature: 12–14°C (do not serve too cold)
• Aeration: Opening 1 hour before tasting is essential to unleash its potential.
• Cellaring: A very long-aging wine, which can be enjoyed over the next 30 years (2055+).

Presenting a Roumier Corton-Charlemagne is always an event. It is one of Burgundy's rarest wines, a bottle often encountered only once in a taster's lifetime. The impeccable condition and guarantee seal make this 2022 bottle a unique opportunity.
