Decanter,

Very good colour. Marvelous fragrant Chambolle fruit on the nose. Really delicious. Splendidly abundant on the palate. Full body. Very good grip. Lots of energy and intensity, especially at the end. Yet, for once...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2007

(WA96-97 points) Roumier vinifies separately and later assembles the fruits of white chalk and red (iron-rich) parcels that inform his 2005 Bonnes Mares. At the time of my visit he had retained one pure barrel of each...

Wine Spectator, May 2008

Dense with ripe black fruit—plum, blackberry and black currant—along with mineral and spice, this starts out lush and silky. The tannins are there, but discreet and supportive, letting the fruit takes center stage. It...

Even after 10 years this is still relatively reserved with notes of spice, violets and blueberry that appear against a backdrop of fresh earth that can also be found on the impressively rich, intense and quite firmly...

Introducing the 2005 Domaine Georges Roumier Bonnes Mares, a remarkable red wine from the prestigious Burgundy region of France. Crafted by the esteemed producer Domaine Georges Roumier, this wine showcases the true essence of Pinot Noir and the unique terroir of the Bonnes Mares sub-appellation in Chambolle Musigny.

In the glass, this wine exhibits a captivating ruby red color, hinting at the depth and complexity that awaits. The nose is initially shy but soon unfolds to reveal a symphony of aromas. Ripe blackberry and raspberry berries dominate the bouquet, complemented by alluring scents of smokiness, herbal essences, and floral notes. These aromatics arise from the distinct white chalk and iron-rich red parcels that were vinified separately and later assembled by Roumier.

On the palate, the 2005 Domaine Georges Roumier Bonnes Mares is a revelation. The creamy texture and refined tannins create a luxurious mouthfeel that is both powerful and elegant. The black fruit flavors take center stage, with a liqueur-like presentation that exudes richness. As the wine evolves, the chalky minerality and beef marrow undertones gradually emerge, adding depth and complexity to the experience.

Acclaimed wine critic Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded this vintage an impressive score of 96-97 points. He praises the wine's tension, energy, and vibrant minerality, highlighting its manifestly huge extract. Neal Martin's Wine Journal also lauds the wine's effortless balance, filigree tannins, and complex finish, suggesting it as a wine to treasure.

Wine Spectator, in their review, describes this wine as dense and lush, with ripe black fruit, mineral notes, and discreet tannins. They recommend cellaring this wine until 2015 or even beyond, as it has the potential to age gracefully for several decades.

Burghound, a renowned publication, echoes the sentiment that this wine is built to age. They note the wine's impressive richness, intense structure, and its potential to continue evolving for another 50 years. They advise allowing the wine to mature properly, as it will reward the patient connoisseur with even more complexity and depth.

The 2005 Domaine Georges Roumier Bonnes Mares is a true masterpiece, showcasing the artistry of both the winemaker and the unique terroir of Burgundy. With its exceptional reviews and aging potential, this wine is a must-have for any serious wine collector or enthusiast. Experience the magic of this extraordinary Pinot Noir and savor its charm, elegance, and longevity.
