Domaine Georges & Christophe Roumier Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru 2004 0,75L

Domaine Georges & Christophe Roumier Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru 2004 is a prestigious Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most sought-after producers. Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru, located between Chambolle-Musigny and Morey-Saint-Denis, is known for producing wines of both power and elegance.

Vintage & Terroir:

The 2004 vintage in Burgundy was marked by a cooler growing season with challenges, but experienced winemakers like Christophe Roumier managed to craft wines with refinement, purity, and expressive aromatics. Bonnes-Mares’ terroir, with a mix of limestone and clay soils, contributes to the wine’s structure, minerality, and aging potential.

Tasting Notes:

• Color: A deep ruby red, beginning to show hints of garnet with age.
• Nose: Aromatically complex, featuring ripe red cherries, wild strawberries, and cranberries, intertwined with floral notes of violets and rose petals. Subtle hints of earth, forest floor, black tea, and fine spice (clove, pepper, and cedar) add depth.
• Palate: Medium to full-bodied with silky tannins and bright acidity, providing freshness and structure. The wine showcases layers of red and black fruits, underbrush, and a delicate minerality, leading to a long, elegant finish with a touch of spice and dried herbs.

Aging & Pairing:

Now reaching maturity, this wine is expressive and beautifully balanced, yet still has the potential to evolve over the next 5–10 years. It pairs well with roast duck, lamb, game birds, or aged cheeses, enhancing its complexity and elegance.
