Tasting Notes
Roumier’s 2009 Bonnes-Mares is without question one of the wines of the vintage. Firm yet beautifully integrated tannins provide the backdrop for the highly nuanced, expressive aromas and flavors that emerge from the glass. All the elements are in the right place in this extraordinary, moving wine. At times the Bonnes-Mares comes across as very powerful, at other times it is quite sensual. In other words, it is pure magic in the glass. Burgundy fans will flock to the Musigny because of its rarity but there is a very real possibility that the Bonnes-Mares will outshine it over time. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2039. (98+ Points) Score: 98 Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2019-2039 01 April 2012
This is also remarkably fresh with very ripe but not over ripe aromas of cassis, spice, stone and raspberry liqueur. There is a palpable sense of energy running through the rich, powerful and brooding broad-shouldered flavors that benefit from a huge dollop of dry extract that pushes the very firm tannic spine to the background on the explosive and youthfully austere finish that possesses genuinely outstanding length. I very much like the balance here and this should age effortlessly for decades. Score: 96 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2027+ 10 January 2012
Tasted out of barrel at the Domaine. This has a very seductive bouquet, the blueberry component not as pronounced as de Vogue, with a slight clayey element augmenting its mineralite. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, wonderful focus here, although I prefer the precision of the Amoureueses. But it seems to coalesce in the glass and the aftertaste has impressive persistency. Tasted January 2011. Score: 94 - 96 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 01 March 2011
