"If there has even been a greater young vintage of Roumier Bonnes-Mares during Christophe’s tenure than the 2010 version, then I have not tasted it. The Roumier Bonnes-Mares is comprised of 60% terres blanches and 40% terres rouges, which seems to really play up the elegance and floral side of the 2010 vintage. The stunning nose offers up a complex and sappy mélange of red and black cherries, red plums, cocoa, woodsmoke, pungent roses and violets, a brilliant base of soil and a deft framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, pure and full-bodied, with laser-like focus, haunting transparency, a rock solid and sappy core of fruit, and brilliant balance on the seamless, ripely tannic, endless and magically refined finish. A stunning, stunning bottle of young Bonnes-Mares."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Bonnes-Mares is a Grand Cru straddling Chambolle-Musigny and Morey-Saint-Denis in Burgundy's Cote de Nuits, producing powerful, dense yet perfumed Pinot Noir reds that combine muscle with finesse and reward long cellaring.
Produces the most delicate and perfumed reds of the Cote de Nuits, prized for floral elegance and silky texture.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
