Domaine Georges Roumier Échézeaux Grand Cru is the new kid on the block. The Pinot Noir debuted in 2016, and collectors haven’t stopped clamoring for it since. It melds notes of blackberries, orange zest, and wildflowers with refreshing acids and melt-in-your-mouth tannins. Meanwhile, the cuvée has a charming personality that complements the muscularity and richness of the body.
Compared to other wines on this list, though, Domaine Georges Roumier Échézeaux Grand Cru lacks critical credentials. The highest score it has ever received was a 96-point rating, both times from Jasper Morris. So, what’s driving up the price? One reason is the microscopic quantity. The 2017 vintage only produced 700 bottles. By comparison, Egon Müller produces four times as much Scharzhofberger Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese each year.
