FEATURES
The 2023 vintage in Burgundy was the warmest on record, yet the summer remained relatively cool compared to other recent hot years. This unique season delivered a rare combination of both quality and quantity, with a plentiful crop of ripe fruit. The red wines from 2023 are surprisingly concentrated without being over-ripe, showcasing aromatic and perfumed profiles with clean aromas of blue or red berries and distinct floral notes. They are described as charming, offering a lovely creamy character on the palate, followed by pleasingly fresh, saline, and thirst-quenching finishes. These wines are enjoyable in their youth but also possess good aging potential. Alcohol levels are moderate, typically ranging between 12.5% and 13.5%. The Domaine Laurent Roumier Bonnes Mares Grand Cru 2023 exhibits a deep ruby color and a complex nose featuring layers of black cherries, wild berries, exotic spice, and earthy notes. The palate offers excellent concentration with pure fruit, refined tannins, and an elegant structure, balanced by medium+ acidity, leading to a very long, sophisticated finish. Additional tasting notes include raspberry, cranberry, minerals, mushroom, white pepper, blackberry, blackcurrant, perfume, violet, dried flowers, green apple, melon, cigar, cedar, raisin, walnut, and celery. 【 This vintage offers a rare combination of quality and quantity 】.
For food pairings, this wine is an excellent match for roast white meats, meaty fish, and dishes with red sauces. It also pairs beautifully with classic Burgundy pairings like duck, goose, and other game birds.
This versatile Grand Cru is ideal for celebratory dinners, impressing discerning guests, or enjoying with fine cuisine. Its charming and approachable nature also makes it suitable for enjoying in its youth at gatherings of wine enthusiasts.
