($170) Good medium red. Exotic aromas of truffle, pepper, licorice and earth, with a suggestion of red berry liqueur. Then powerful and peppery in the mouth, with less obvious sweetness than the vintage would suggest. Finishes with powerful, broad tannins and building peppery persistence. Very Bonnes-Mares in style: somber and brooding. Roumier says this reminds him of the 1990.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: March/April 2006Burghound | Rating: 88
Ample wood sets off very ripe aromas of spiced plum, mocha and subtle coffee that lead to big, rich and powerful flavors that display a muscular, taut and extremely intense profile culminating in a ripe and long finish where another touch of wood resurfaces. This is not particularly elegant though it is lush, generous and mouth coating. The '03 Bonnes Mares will undoubtedly age even though it remains very '03 in style and character. In short, this is perfectly good if particular.Author: Allen MeadowsIssue: 2nd Quarter, 2007Wine Advocate | Rating: 93
Though Roumier's holdings in Bonnes Mares are equally divided between the |white| and |red| soils, the latter produced substantially more fruit in 2003, being better equipped - thanks to the water retaining clay - to cope with the heat and drought. Deep, earthy aromas of black fruits can be discerned in its complex nose. Powerful, armed with huge depth, this big, tannic, highly structured wine is dominated by brambleberries and blackberries. Its exceptionally long finish reveals a slight hint of alcoholic heat.Author: Pierre Rovani
Georges Roumier married his way into some of the best vineyard holdings in the Cote d'Or, back in 1924. He gained a wife from Chambolle and the vineyards as part of the dowry. Grand Cru blocks in Bonnes-Mares, Clos de Vougeot, Musigny, and Corton Charlemagne produce highly sought-after wines year after year. Christophe Roumier, Georges' son, has run the domaine since 1982, when he took over management of his family's 14.2 hectares of vines. He is regarded as one of the finest winemakers in the Cote de Nuit, one who strives to create authentic representations of each of his diverse plots.
