Bonnes-Mares, covering 15.05 hectares, is a large Grand Cru located in both Chambolle-Musigny and Morey-Saint-Denis. The vineyard is known for its "dark side," offering a unique hybrid between the characteristics of Chambolle and Morey. The soil composition is complex, contributing to the floral and mineral expressions of the wines produced here. Domaine Georges Roumier holds 1.89 hectares in Bonnes-Mares, spread across different sections of the vineyard. This includes recent expansions, adding diversity to their Bonnes-Mares expressions.
The fruit for the Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru comes from two different parcels, with vines averaging 40 years old. The grapes are harvested and vinified separately, with more than half of the fruit being destemmed. The wine is aged in oak barrels, 30% of which are new, highlighting Domaine's moderate approach to new wood usage. This technique enhances the wine's complexity and ageing potential.
