Details

Domaine Roumier's 2013 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru captivates with its elegant profile and nuanced expression of its terroir. Displaying a bright medium red hue in the glass, it entices the senses with a captivating bouquet of ripe redcurrant, kirsch, and subtle vanilla notes. While high-toned, the aroma remains balanced and inviting, showcasing the wine's generosity. On the palate, the wine reveals its true finesse, with a remarkably smooth texture that glides seamlessly across the tongue. Vibrant flavors of red berries, peony, and hints of orange peel dance on the palate, underscored by a compelling minerality that adds depth and complexity. The wine's taut structure and sharp definition speak to its pedigree, with each sip offering a delightful interplay of blackberry, violet, licorice, and spice notes. Despite its youthful exuberance, this Bonnes Mares maintains a sense of harmony and balance, culminating in a long, juicy finish that leaves a lasting impression. This is a classic expression of Bonnes Mares, showcasing the potential of the cool 2013 vintage in the skilled hands of Domaine Roumier.


Robert Parker - 93 Points

"Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru from Christophe Roumier has a ripe redcurrant, kirsch and vanilla-tinged bouquet, high-toned but not volatile, generous if missing some mineralité. The palate is defined by its very smooth texture: seamless and so lithe in the mouth. There is impressive purity here and while you could describe this as "showy" (not an adjective that I often apply to Christophe's wines), that is meant in a positive way. There is the substance to suggest this will age with style -- a sophisticated and thoroughly enjoyable Bonnes-Mares to savor. Tasted September 2016."


Antonio Galloni - 94+ Points

"Bright medium red. Knockout high-pitched aromas of red berries, peony and orange peel. Boasts compelling subtle density and sharp definition to its taut flavors of blackberry, violet, licorice, spices and minerals. In its juicy sappiness, this is like chewing on a ripe cherry. A classic Bonnes-Mares, offering superb volume without any undue weight. And an outstanding example of what phenolically ripe fruit could make in this cool vintage."
