Critics Scores
Vinous
The 2007 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is a vintage that I have not encountered before. It has a slightly herbaceous bouquet, the red fruit tinged with scents of black truffle, damp loam and woodland. These aromatics are understated and elegant for a Bonnes-Mares, perhaps not as complex as other vintages, yet you are charmed by its openness. The palate is marked by a fine bead of acidity, not terribly complex however it would be mean to ignore the elegance and charm of this Bonnes-Mares that, to quote Christophe Roumier himself “...was never supposed to age”.

A restrained, even taciturn nose that is intensely earthy yet very fresh with dark berries, cassis, plum and floral hints introduces rich, full and intensely minerally big-bodied flavors blessed with huge amounts of dry extract that coat the palate and buffers the solid but refined tannins, all wrapped in a beautifully balanced, pure and strikingly persistent finish. This is an impressive effort as it's tautly muscular with everything in perfect proportion. As with the Amoureuses, note that patience will be required.
Decanter
Medium-full colour. Very closed-in on the nose. Needs time. Some new oak evident. Full body. Backward. Some tannin. Lots of grip and energy. Lovely ample, rich follow-through. Very long on the palate high class. Very fine indeed. (CC)
Wine Spectator
Gorgeous aromas and flavors of red currant, raspberry, black cherry, licorice and mineral highlight this complex, powerful and stylish red. This keeps pulsing on the palate, ending in a long, fruit-, spice- and mineral-tinged aftertaste.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
One of the wines of the vintage, the 2007 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has shut down considerably in the last few years, and it's clear that this is one of the few 2007 red Burgundies truly built from the long haul. The wine unfurls in the glass with a youthfully reserved bouquet of red and black cherries, peony, orange zest and woodsmoke that's far less extroverted and explosive than it was only four years ago. On the palate, it's full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a tight-knit core, fine-grained structuring tannins and a long, stony finish. At this stage, the 2006 rendition is much more approachable, and I'd advise readers who own the 2007 to forget it for the better part of a decade. (WK)
John Gilman
The 2007 Roumier Bonnes-Mares is a stunning wine in the making, but it too is quite young and needs some time alone in the cellar before it starts to stir. The deep, pure and very promising nose wafts from the glass in a sappy blend of black cherries, dark berries, a touch of heather, cocoa, gamebirds, a beautifully complex base of soil tones, woodsmoke and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, young and primary, with a sappy core, excellent focus and balance, ripe, chewy tannins and lovely bounce on the long and youthful finish. A stellar wine in the making.
