Critics Scores
Burghound.com
(from a 1.5 ha parcel that is roughly divided in .90 ha of terres rouges and .60 ha of terres blanches, the latter of which has the slightly older vines; in 2011 the blend is 55% terres blanches and 45% terres rouges) This is also brilliantly perfumed if not quite as elegant as the Amoureuses with its broad ranging nose of earth, red currant, plum liqueur and lovely floral notes. There is a firm minerality to the remarkably rich, powerful and concentrated big-bodied flavors that possess both excellent volume and first-rate punch on the hugely long and youthfully austere finish. This is a stunner of a wine that will need pretty much all of 15 years, and perhaps even 20, to arrive at its full majority.
Vinous
A vivid, powerful wine, the 2011 Bonnes-Mares impresses for its nuance, detail and huge, imposing structure. Constantly changing in the glass, the 2011 is remarkably crystalline for such a big wine. A host of blue/blackish fruit intermingled with violets, spices and balsamic notes wrap around the palate on the finish. This is a rare 2011 that will require significant cellaring. If there is one Roumier wine I would want to own on regular basis, it is the Bonnes-Mares.
John Gilman
After tasting the two constituent components (the terres rouges and terres blanches sections of the vineyard), it is very easy to appreciate that the blended Bonnes-Mares is superior to either component on its own, and the 2011 is going to be a stunning wine! The glorious and youthful nose offers up a magical mélange of red and black cherries, red plums, cocoa, brilliant minerality, woodsmoke, gamebirds, mustard seed and a delicate framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and utterly complete, with a rock solid core of sappy fruit, stunning soil inflection, ripe tannins and great focus and grip on the very long, suave and still quite primary finish. A great wine.
Wine Spectator
This seductive red offers black cherry, sandalwood and floral aromas and flavors balanced on a rich texture. Dense, featuring lively acidity, with well-integrated tannins providing support on the long and concentrated finish.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2011 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is blessed with a fragrant bouquet of dried violet petals, hints of burnt toast and plenty of black fruit vying for attention, however, it needs a couple of years to fully coalesce. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins on the entry. This is a big wine, filling the mouth with ease with layers of black fruit, tobacco and a saline tang on the aftertaste. It is quite austere on the finish at the moment. (NM)
