Bonnes-Mares is the prominent grand cru vineyard and appellation shared between Chambolle-Musigny and Morey-Saint-Denis. It’s home to several high-profile wine producers including Domaine Georges Roumier which has six parcels here. Their 1996 release is filled with notes of sous bois, cherries and wild strawberries. It is a deep and complex wine, and almost ethereal at times.

95 Robert Parker

Displaying a dark ruby color and a fabulous nose of candied red fruits and cookie dough, this wine is an immensely rich, multi-dimensional masterpiece. This broad-shouldered, ample, oily-textured, masculine, structured, and medium-to-full-bodied wine is formidably concentrated and complex. Highly-focused blackberries, violets, lilies, stones, earth, and cassis flavors are intermingled with grilled and spiced new oak. Its prodigiously long finish is expansive, rendering its copious and supple tannins invisible. Anticipated maturity. 2005-2017.

90 Vinous

The 1996 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is a little subdued on the nose and does not quite convey the same complexity as the 1998 by direct comparison. Dark and broody, this feels aloof and distant. It is much better on the palate with an almost rigid tannic backbone, sturdy and grippy in the mouth, although you have to say, you would have liked a little more charm. This is one Bonnes-Mares that reflects the style of Burgundy winemaking at that time, maybe just a little over-extracted in the winery? Tasted at the Roumier vertical in London. — Neal Martin, 1st September 2018

Domaine Georges Roumier

A Icon of Fine Burgundy

One of Burgundy's most famous producers - founded in 1924 by Georges Roumier, the domaine was passed to his son Jean-Marie in 1957 and eventually on to his grandson Christophe in the early 1990s. Vines are either rented from family members or managed on a share-cropping basis and the cellar team operate a dynamic approach to winemaking, subtly altering their techniques depending on the vineyard and vintage. Some fruit is fully destemmed before fermentation while some is partially destemmed. A cool maceration takes place before fermentation, which takes place in wooden vats, and punch downs happen twice a day. Use of new oak is judicious - only around 20% for the village wines, 35% for the Premier Crus and 50% for the Grand Crus.

If Georges Roumier only produced Chambolle-Musigny, Bonnes Mares and Clos St Denis, the winery would still be considered one of the greatest in Burgundy, but their other-worldly Musigny Grand Cru elevates their status among the great wineries of France to legendary.
