The 2014 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has a fragrant, floral bouquet with touches of blueberry, violet, wet limestone and effervescent blood orange. There is simply wonderful delineation here. The palate is very well structured, linear and strict in accordance with the vintage, driving acidity here maintaining the freshness with superb minerality on the finish. Oh yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.Inc.

Good deep red. Very sexy, soil-driven scents of plum, mocha, redcurrant, graphite and spices. Showing plenty of truffley underbrush but also superb inner-mouth energy and spice character to its plum and dark berry fruit. In a distinctly dark, earthy, almost austere style, finishing with dusty, fine, integrated tannins, hints of mint and plum, and terrific persistence. This wine is near its peak but there's still more to come.Inc. GSTSG$3,775.66 -
Wine Spectator (95)
A touch of a vegetal element to the sweet cherry and woodsy spice flavors and a sinewy texture mark this red. It seems closed down now, with the structure dominating, but there's a smoldering intensity and energy that powers the long aftertaste. Offers both elegance and depth. Be patient. Best from 2014 through 2028. 110 cases imported. -BSInc. GSTSG$3,099.86 -

Deep red with ruby highlights. Knockout nose combines raspberry, peony, spices, blood orange and a whiff of pepper. Wonderfully sweet and silky in the mouth and yet with a steely impression of spine. Boasts lovely clarity and penetration and finishes with superb sappy persistence. This was finished with its malo but had not yet been racked. Roumier combined the red and white soil components of this wine at the outset but kept one barrel of each separate: on this day, the wine was dominated by the almost painful cut that comes from the white soil but with more time the red soil component will fill in the middle palate.Inc.

Then came the 2009 Bonnes-Mares. What a wine! While the Musigny showed more of a red fruit profile, the Bonnes-Mares was quite a bit darker. It also had a lot more underlying structure. With time in the glass, hints of menthol, tar and dried roses added complexity. Both wines took us on a journey. Ultimately, though, the Musigny gave up its charms easier, while the Bonnes-Mares continued to open up over several hours, seemingly with something new to say with each taste. It was flat-out monumental. The stuff dreams are made of.Inc. GSTSG$4,827.51 -

Dark crimson. Juicy and alluring on the nose. And then wonderfully rich and exciting on the palate. Great intensity and majesty. Woo hoo! Long and gorgeous.Inc. GSTSG$3,486.81 -

The 2017 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru was showing quite a lot of reduction on the nose when I visited (Christophe Roumier was taken aback, as it had been racked three weeks earlier). Fortunately, the palate shows great potential; it’s as beautifully balanced as ever, with a fine bead of acidity. This is more understated and less outgoing than other vintages encountered from barrel, and not quite as persistent on the finish, but with a fine dash of black pepper on the aftertaste. There is something very assured about this Bonnes-Mares, though this year, it is Les Amoureuses that sends tingles down the spine.Inc. GSTSG$2,816.46 -

All three cuvées, white soil, red soil and the new plot, have been blended. Overall two-thirds of the blend comes from white soil Bonnes Mares. Two thirds whole bunch, one third new wood. Glowing rich purple, with a beautiful bouquet demonstrating exquisitely balanced fruit. Ripe of course but there are some red threads in with the darker fruit, fine acidity too, just a sumptuous covering of exquisite dark raspberry and a little touch of blackberry. Bravo! There is a lovely covering of flesh on top of natural vivacity.Inc. GSTSG$2,772.86 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (97-99)
Beginning with the hugely deep but very fresh purple colour, The Roumier 2019 Bonnes Mares shows its majesty from the outset. The nose is backward, but clear and pure. It is much more in pure deep raspberry and less wild on the nose than it can be. Such harmony on the palate, this is exquisite, a very noble Bonnes Mares with optimum purity and one of the most persistent finishes of the year. Brilliant!Inc. GSTSG$5,187.21 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (96-98)
Rich purple, with energy on the nose, more black fruit, a little less easy to read than the flamboyant Ruchottes. Two thirds whole bunch just visible. Showing the duality of this vineyard. More black than red, nothing in any way cooked, deep long and sultry, some comparison with Bussière but a much greater depth of generous fruity and of course very long indeed. Going to be spectacular I think. A really classic structure with a brilliant aftertaste. Tasted: November 2021Inc. GSTSG$3,279.71 -
Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (90-93)
(not chaptalized) Good bright deep red. Pure aromas of musky raspberry, strawberry and coffee. Silky, dense and rich, with the lovely silkiness of the cru. Ripe raspberry flavor nicely framed by bright, integrated acidity. Finishes with lovely fine tannins. Very stylish Chambolle.Inc. GSTSG$9,552.66 -

The 2006 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru is a vintage that I have not encountered previously. There is certainly fine intensity on the nose with raspberry and Morello cherry scents, appearing later crushed stone and rose petal notes. That Amoureuses sensuality really comes through. The palate is smooth and velvety with fine tannins. It is not the most complex Les Amoureuses that Christophe Roumier has ever produced, but certainly one of the most drinkable (however banal that reads.) Wonderful, though I would be inclined to drink it in the near future. Tasted at Xmas lunch at Trinity restaurant.Inc. GSTSG$6,920.31 -
Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (92-94)
(vinified with almost 50% whole clusters) Good deep red. Captivating, high-pitched aromas of dark berries, blood orange, violet, spices and minerals. Juicy, classic and penetrating, with superb cut and floral perfume in the middle palate. Boasts compelling subtle sweetness and clarity, and finishes with a serious spine of tannins and acids. A very serious young wine, very much in the style of a mini-Musigny. Should be a beauty.Inc. GSTSG$6,920.31 -
Vinous (95)
The 2008 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses is sensual and inviting. Layers of endless, perfumed fruit grace the palate, followed by hints of white flowers, herbs, mint and rose petals. The wine continues to open up in the glass in an extraordinary display of class and elegance. A clean, inviting finish makes it impossible to resist a second taste. The energy, vibrancy and freshness are first-rate.Inc. GSTSG$5,470.61 -

5-Star Wine. A darker purple colour. Some new oak present gives a slightly lactic veneer. Then the fruit takes over – there is a lot of it, with an underlay of discreet whole bunches. My first thought was that the fruit could have been picked a touch earlier, but the development of the wine soon changed my thinking. The bouquet is really growing now. What a wealth of fruit, more red than black. This is becoming extremely good, because here all the weight is at the back of the palate. Drink from 2028.Inc. GSTSG$7,465.31 -
Vinous (95-97)
The 2019 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru is matured with 25% new oak and around three-quarters whole bunch. It displays extremely fine delineation on the nose, the whole bunch more conspicuous compared to the Bonnes-Mare at the moment, though that will easily be assimilated with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a sense of strictness and linearity and potent marine influences of seaweed and oyster shells. Intense toward the finish, though I feel that the Bonnes-Mares concludes with slightly more grace and precision compared to the Amoureuses this year (at least at the moment).Inc. GSTSG$10,005.01 -
Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (88-90)
Subdued but sweet nose hints at violet and new oak (40% of the wine is aging in new barrels until the September racking). Sweet flavors of red berry liqueur and new oak. Full for this, and sweet and long on the ripe back end.Inc. GSTSG$1,622.55 -
Vinous (93)
The 2007 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras 1er Cru has a slightly deeper hue compared to the 2000. Red berry fruit is laced with morels, pressed rose petals, leather and incense, quite complex and involving. The palate is medium-bodied with commendable depth considering the season. Pure red fruit with wonderful piquancy, hints of white pepper and clove lead towards quite a weighty and compelling finish. This surpasses my expectations and constitutes an impressive 2007 that is à point. Tasted blind at the Roumier Les Cras vertical at Medlar, London.Inc. GSTSG$1,426.35 -

The 2009 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras 1er Cru puts in a very impressive performance alongside the 2010. With plush red fruit, red cherries intermingling with wild strawberries, this is one of Roumier's most generous Les Cras whilst it retains disarming transparency and precision. The palate is beautifully balanced with crushed stone infusing the red fruit, hints of blood orange and spices. The pixelated finish leaves you just wanting more. This might get even better with continued bottle age. Tasted blind at the Roumier Les Cras vertical at Medlar, London.Inc. GSTSG$1,818.75 -

The 2010 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras 1er Cru is a fabulous wine that is going from strength to strength. There are just the first signs of bricking on the rim. The nose offers a cornucopia of red fruit, Earl Grey, hints of scorched earth and Provençal herbs, all constantly changing in the glass. The palate is beautifully balanced, fresh and fine-boned. There is real flesh here, to the point where I wondered whether it could be the 2009! My only question is the longevity of this Chambolle compared to Roumier's other crus. I might well be tempted to crack this open now (if I had a bottle). Tasted blind at the Roumier Les Cras vertical at Medlar, London.Inc. GSTSG$1,682.50 -

The Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras shows the more sensual, caressing side of the vintage in its layered contours and soft, tender personality. Today, the is voluptuous and expressive, with no hard edges and fabulous overall balance. The Cras isn't super complex, but it is incredibly delicious, even at this early stage.Inc. GSTSG$1,720.65 -

The higher altitude of the vineyard and its proximity to the cold air of the combe are apparent on the nose and palate of this deliciously fragrant wine. It's very chalky and chiselled with abundant minerality and freshness lifting and sustaining the fruit flavours. The slight reduction adds another dimension here.Inc. GSTSG$1,415.45 -

1.75 ha (4.3 acres). Higher vineyard than most, facing south-east but cool air comes down the combe. Terres blanches, ie limestone-rich marl. Low-vigour vines here. Theirs were planted 1931, some replanted 2002. 60% whole bunch, 25% new oak. Barrel sample. Deep crimson. Fabulous nose of ripe red fruit with the perfume of peony. Perhaps also a touch of lavender from the whole bunch. Wild flowers and still so much fruit. Much tighter and more strict than Les Combottes, the tannins more upright and less smooth but still very very fine. More stony. 14.2% but you would not know. And that mineral freshness and energy is outstanding even if the wine is less approachable than some. Rich in fruit, mouth-watering in texture and that minerality gives a tight frame to the fruit.Inc. GSTSG$1,333.70 -

The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras 1er Cru has an almost flinty bouquet with delicate wilted rose petal scents that gradually unfold in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied, the 65% whole bunch barely detectable. Very cohesive, fine tannins, very saline towards the finish with shucked oyster shell, one of this limestone-rich vineyard’s signature notes. Sculpted with a fine chisel on the finish. Excellent.Inc.

The 2014 Chambolle Musigny Villages has a refined bouquet with touches of hints of rose petal infusing the red berry fruit, fine minerality coming through. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and nicely structured. This displays good backbone for a village cru with fine precision on the slightly curtailed finish. Very fine.Inc. GSTSG$1,306.45 -

A lovely bouquet of cherries, rose petals, forest floor and subtle espresso roast introduce the 2017 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Combottes, a medium to full-bodied wine with an ample, more open-knit and more ethereal profile than the earthier, denser Clos de la Bussière that preceded. Sneaky persistence on the finish makes me suspect that this will continue to gain in depth as it completes its élevage.Inc. GSTSG$1,246.50 -
Vinous (90+)
The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Village is positively bulging with black and red fruit on the nose of dense blackberry and bilberry; a light marine influence surfaces with time. The palate is well balanced with firm, grippy tannins that feel more robust and slightly drier than the 2019 compared alongside. A little brusque on the finish at the moment; this will require time.Inc. GSTSG$712.40 -

An ultra-fresh nose reflects notes of green apple, citrus and plenty of floral wisps. The racy, intense and nicely voluminous flavors possess solid mid-palate density while displaying good minerality on the focused and lingering finish. This isn't a classic rendition but it's still lovely in its fashion.Inc. GSTSG$1,579.31
