What to Expect

Pinot Noir: Responsible for some of the greatest wines on earth - the exhausted red wines of France's Burgundy region. Pinot Noir is a notoriously fickle grape that expresses its origins like no other. It's a vine that needs to struggle to produce great wines but when it does the depth of flavors that range from cherry to cola can be explosive and the wines' bright acidity and gentle tannins make them approachable and widely appealing,

Winemakers Notes

"Roumier has 4 parcels of Bonnes Mares, all ofwhich are in Chambolle, with one abutting theMorey-St.-Denis border. A beautiful red, this isdense and broad, with concentrated black cherry,plum and mineral flavors. There's an old-vinerichness and its all backed by a firm structure,with ripe, fine-grained tannins. Fine length. Bestfrom 2012 through 2025." 97/100 points (Wine Spectator - 09-Mar-2005)

WA 94-97 (6/2004): Superb scents of spicy candied cherries, perfume, roses, blueberries, and mint can be discerned in the aromatic profile of the sensual 2002 Bonnes Mares. A wine of magnificent breadth, power, focus, and purity of flavors, it gracefully dances across the palate releasing a myriad of super-ripe red fruits. Exceptionally well-balanced, its satin-textured, seamless personality lingers for 40 seconds in the finish, exhibiting additional waves of sweet red cherries. This tour de force should be drunk between 2007 and 2017.

IWC 96+ (4/2005): Medium red. Great nose combines raspberry, minerals, rose petal, peony and white pepper. Like an essence of Chambolle in the mouth, offering an uncanny combination of sweetness and thrust. Wonderfully flowery, delineated and gripping. Explosive finishing flavors convey a powerful impression of soil. All of Roumier's Bonnes-Mares is in Chambolle, but the vines are planted about 50/50 on white and red soil. A complete Burgundy , and a no-brainer. One of my early candidates for wine of the vintage.

BH 95 (4/2007): The nose hasn't budged an inch since my original review in-bottle review and rests entirely in the red fruit spectrum and rather than spice, there is an intense floral and violet quality followed by detailed, ultra pure and tautly muscular flavors that deliver real punch and a lovely minerality on the incredibly long backend. A complete and seamless wine of enormous complexity and considerable underlying reserve plus enough structure for at least three plus decades of life. A great effort that is even better than I originally thought it could be from cask and because it appears read more...
