The 2015 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru from Domaine Georges Roumier is a stellar wine from an opulent, warm Burgundy vintage. This Pinot Noir exhibits plush, dark fruit flavours of blackberry, blueberry and dark cherry, interwoven with complex notes of mocha, spice, espresso and mineral tension. Crafted by Christophe Roumier, the wine is full-bodied and textural, built on an ample chassis of firm, fine-grained tannins and a powerful finish that demands considerable patience. Domaine Georges Roumier holds a significant 1.3919 hectares within the Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru, with parcels spanning the appellation`s terres blanches and terres rouges sections, lending the wine both elegance and authoritative structure.

Tasted blind, Roumier`s 2015 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is quite reticent, unfurling in the glass with a youthfully reserved bouquet of cherries, cassis, dark chocolate, peonies and espresso roast. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and powerful, with a strikingly concentrated and multidimensional core, an ample endowment of rich, satiny tannin and a long, chewy finish. This is a ripe but structural wine that will demand—and reward—considerable patience. it`s likely to prove one of the most long-lived red Burgundies of the vintage. - William Kelley

The 2015 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is a scintillating wine - always has been. Dark cherries and still that hint of bergamot on the nose that shimmers with youthful delight, perfectly in tune with the oak. Perhaps a little more mineralité than I recall. It oddly seems to tighten up with aeration instead of opening! The palate is medium-bodied with pointed acidity that imparts plenty of tension, slightly granular in texture, and almost linear with a hint of black olive compote towards the bitter-edged finish. Superb. Tasted at Maison de Colombier in Beaune. Neal Martin1st March 2023

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.
