The story of Musset-Roullier winery is also the story of a friendship that was born on the benches of primary school and which has been going on for the last 60 years.
Sons of winegrowers and then winegrowers themselves, Serge Roullier and Gilles Musset decided to merge both of their boutique wineries in 1994 to launch a more ambitious company based on their friendship. Vignoble Musset-Roullier was born.
Surrounded by a highly involved and united team, they’ve been succeeding so far to let their passion, knowledge, and skills express at best, in order to produce real gems to uncork.
Today, their handcrafted cuvees are on the wine list of numerous Michelin-starred restaurants, are recommended by the 2007 Best Sommelier in the World, and can be found in many countries worldwide.
Tasting Notes:
Bouquet
The wine offers a bouquet of ripe black fruits aromas (blackcurrant, black cherry) and dark chocolate notes. It’s an expressive nose, very pleasant.
Palate
Refined acidity, silky tannins, good length to the palate. Beautiful flavors of black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), dark chocolate notes, kirsch. Well-balanced and full-bodied, it’s a fresh and powerful wine.
Pairing: Pair this wine with some veal meat (roasted), generous poultry, bittersweet courses, a chocolate cake if not too sweet. Enjoy it at 13°C.
