Laurent Roumier is the grandson of Georges Roumier and cousin of Christophe Roumier of Domaine Georges Roumier. Laurent’s father, Alain, was the cellar keeper at the Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé for thirty years (from 1950 to the 1980s). Domaine Laurent Roumier is located next to Domaine Georges Roumier.
Domaine Laurent Roumier began operations in 1991 with 4 hectares leased by Laurent from the Roumier family. Then, during the 1990s, he bought 6 hectares of Haute Côtes de Nuits and Chambolle-Musigny. Laurent inherited a small part of the vineyards in 1997 from Georges and two plots of Clos Vougeot Grand Cru (Lieu di Grand Maupertuis, which is the upper part of Clos Vougeot, bordering the Grand Cru Grands Echezeaux vineyard and not far from the Grand Cru Musigny vineyard).
