Domaine G. Roumier Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru, Cote de Nuits, France 2022
Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru, Cote de Nuits, France 2022 is one of the most coveted wines in Burgundy from one of the region’s benchmark producers. Roumier’s Bonnes-Mares combines the power and structure of this grand cru site with the domaine’s signature elegance and precision. The 2022 vintage is already highly praised, showing layers of raspberry, red cherry, rose petal, spice, violet, and mineral depth with remarkable concentration and finesse. Silky yet structured, this is a profound Pinot Noir built for long aging and serious collectors.
"The 2022 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is deep and resonant, unfurling in the glass with aromas of raspberries and red cherries mingling with rose petal, Indian spices and vanilla pod. Full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's dense and multidimensional, yet it avoids the hulking muscularity of which this cuvée is capable, retaining a cool core of fruit and concluding with a long, sapid finish. Roumier prefers his more ethereal (and more overtly whole-cluster inflected) Amoureuses, but I gravitate towards the profound Bonnes-Mares." Wine Advocate 96-98
