Georges Roumier Bonnes Mares 1995
Tasting Note
97/100 Neal Martin (September 2018)
The 1995 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has long been a really fantastic wines, as all that Christophe Roumier made in this vintage are. That said, you cannot guarantee every bottle and here the bottle in Hong Kong showed better than in London, similar to another opened in Beaune earlier that year. It has a stunning, quixotic, slightly floral bouquet that delivers unerring purity and intensity. There is a little more blue fruit in situ than other vintages. The palate has an almost symmetrical balance: fine tannin, perfectly pitched acidity, capturing the exuberance and precocity of Bonnes-Mares without any garish flamboyance. “This just lights up the senses...” I wrote in Hong Kong – an effervescent and glorious wine that will give another two decades of drinking pleasure. Tasted at the Roumier verticals in Hong Kong and London. (Drink between 2018-2045)
