98 points Charles Curtis MW (Decanter): "Ripe plummy fruit of exceptional purity, suggestions of mineral, smoke and wild roses. Despite the perfumed, ethereal aromas, the wine is broad-shouldered, tannic and powerful. This truly has the substance to age for decades. Domaine Roumier farms 1.6ha of Bonnes-Mares spread over four parcels. There is a mix of the white marl ('terres blanches') at the top of the slope and the red clay ('terres rouges'). Most of the fruit is fermented as whole clusters, extraction is gentle, and the amount of new wood is modest. Drink 2025-2050. (10/10/21)."

96-98 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Rich purple, with energy on the nose, more black fruit, a little less easy to read than the flamboyant Ruchottes. Two thirds whole bunch just visible. Showing the duality of this vineyard. More black than red, nothing in any way cooked, deep long and sultry, some comparison with Bussière but a much greater depth of generous fruity and of course very long indeed. Going to be spectacular I think. A really classic structure with a brilliant aftertaste. (Nov 2021)."

96-98 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2022 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is deep and resonant, unfurling in the glass with aromas of raspberries and red cherries mingling with rose petal, Indian spices and vanilla pod. Full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's dense and multidimensional, yet it avoids the hulking muscularity of which this cuvée is capable, retaining a cool core of fruit and concluding with a long, sapid finish. Roumier prefers his more ethereal (and more overtly whole-cluster inflected) Amoureuses, but I gravitate towards the profound Bonnes-Mares. (01/18/24)."

95+ points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2020 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has a reductive nose, though behind that, there is a smorgasbord of attractive dark berry fruit tinged with black olives. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, touches of licorice and some elements of overripe fruit towards the finish. But it's an enjoyable Grand Cru, a little "sexier" than its peers, and it improves with time in the glass. There's real sophistication locked up in this Bonnes-Mares, but it needs time. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. Drink 2027-2050. (Sep 2024)."

96 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): A perfumed and spicier than usual nose of both red and dark cherry freely offers up its nuances of violet, lavender and lilac. There is again a really lovely texture to the succulent but concentrated and overtly powerful big-bodied flavors that deliver stupendous length on the compact, palate drenching and hugely long finish. This is a very impressive, but also very firmly structured, Bonnes Mares that should still be around 50+ years from now. Drink 2040+. (01/10/23)."
