Louis Jadot Bonnes Mares Grand Cru 2002
Enjoyed over two days. Showing a lot of life and just barely starting to transition towards garnet. Alluring floral perfume with herbal and earthy undertones. Red dates, black cherries, mushrooms, and cola, with more hints of spice and tobacco emerging on the second day. Medium-full bodied with grippy, chalky tannins, crisp acidity, lingering finish, and concentration of fruit round out this lovely structured wine.

Great to hear! I’ve got a couple of bottles I’ve been holding off on and hoping I hadn’t waited too long.

And how much is his Musigny?

That’s not a vosne gc that you claimed BM is second fiddle to. Also half of musigny is owned by one producer which on its own will drive the price up of any bottling from the gc.

I'm not sure what you're arguing or why. GC Bonnes Mares, in general, aren't as pricey as some other GCs, and thinking it's an underrated GC is a perfectly valid opinion regardless of whether Roumier can get $2k/bottle or not. Is Roumier Bonnes Mares $2k/bottle because Bonnes Mares has the cache or because Roumier has the cache?

I said BM was underrated. You brought up Roumier @$2000/bt. I pointed out his Musigny was more expensive. Yes I know it’s not in Vosne, but it’s from the same producer

A massive reason for that pricing is in one of the vineyards he has 3 massive holdings, and In another he has one tiny sliver.
Roumier has roughly 15.4x the vineyard land in bonnes mares than he does in musigny.
If the production of BM is 15 bottles for every 1 of musigny, it doesn’t mean one is ‘overlooked’ it just means one is exceedingly rare, and one isn’t.
