Domaine Roumier 2015 Bonnes Mares

Domaine Roumier's 2015 Bonnes Mares presents a captivating blend of elegance and intensity. In the glass, it reveals a deep ruby hue that speaks to its concentration and richness. The aroma is initially reticent, offering glimpses of dark cherries, blackcurrants, and hints of dark chocolate, complemented by floral notes of peonies and nuances of espresso roast. On the palate, the wine showcases its full-bodied nature, with a profound and multidimensional core that captivates the senses. The velvety texture is supported by a generous framework of fine-grained tannins, providing structure and depth. As it lingers on the palate, the wine evolves, revealing layers of dark fruit, subtle oak nuances, and a touch of savory complexity. The finish is impressively long and persistent, leaving a lasting impression of its exceptional quality and potential for further development. This is a superb expression of Bonnes Mares, demonstrating the finesse and expertise of Domaine Roumier.

Robert Parker - 97+ Points

"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."

Antonio Galloni - 96 Points

"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."
