Georges Roumier, Bonnes Mares 2007 (93p) was relatively closed, but still tasted good. A very fine wine, with even greater potential, and maybe it deserves a better rating .... but it really need more time. Very fine. (2018 - 2030) - 93p …
Emmanuel Rouget Cros Parantoux 2003

Dennis Mortet Gevrey Chambertin 1996
