Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2011 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is blessed with a fragrant bouquet of dried violet petals, hints of burnt toast and plenty of black fruit vying for attention, however, it needs a couple of years to fully coalesce. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins on the entry. This is a big wine, filling the mouth with ease with layers of black fruit, tobacco and a saline tang on the aftertaste. It is quite austere on the finish at the moment.

• Jasper Morris: A vivid fresh young colour, no need to hurry here. The bouquet remains backward too a suggestion that there is plenty to follow, but no real delivery yet. However, the palate is ready to speak with a wealth of dark berry fruit and some light chocolate notes. This is showing its whole bunch component, in a way which works very well. narrowly my favourite of an excellent trio of Bonnes Mares.

Producer Information

From its beginnings all the way up to the present, Domaine Georges Roumier has maintained one of the best reputations in Burgundy. Their superb wines are also amazingly dependable and consistent in quality. Georges Roumier began the enterprise in 1924 and operated it until his retirement in 1961, when the estate was divided among his children. After his death in 1965, his son Jean-Marie ran the domaine and made the wines. Adopting his father's mtier, Jean-Marie's son Christophe became a talented winemaker as well, and bought out his uncles in 1992.
Domaine Georges Roumier is one of the finest sources of classic, long-lived red Burgundies, with wines that demonstrate fruit, spice, and balance, with substantial tannins. Simply put, Roumier wines are brilliantly made. They are rich, fragrant wines with characteristic aromas of cherries and berries, and often need 4-5 years to show their great depth and harmony. They are also very long-lived, lasting up to twenty years.
