What a fabulous wine the 1990 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru! Youthful in colour, it has beguiling complexity on the nose, secondary aromas percolating through the carapace of red fruit. truffle, smoke and a touch of peppermint. The palate is quite dense and voluminous, as you would expect given the growing season, yet there is sensational precision and poise. The final third delivers incredible tension and mineralité, hints of iodine and spice lending more complexity and the aftertaste continues on and on and on. I wonder if this is à point? Then again, there is so much substance that you can easily envisage this offering another two decades of drinking pleasure. Stunning. Tasted at the Roumier verticals in Hong Kong and London with consistent notes. - Neil Martin
Bonnes-Mares is one of the most fragmented grand cru vineyards in Burgundy, where a number of high-profile domaines produce some of their best cuvées. Amongst them is Domaine Georges Roumier which has six parcels here. This release is their 1990 expression, a fantastic vintage in Burgundy thanks to a hot and dry growing season.
