Tasting notes
Less immediate than their Échezeaux, though perhaps more concentrated. Seemingly warmer on the finish too. Doesn't make things easy, and leaves quite a bitter impression on the finish. (RH)

The 2017 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru comes from a 0.23-hectare parcel close to the Morey commune. This has a superior bouquet to the Echézeaux, more controlled and detailed, offering lovely floral, violet aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and a fine bead of acidity, and fleshy and generous toward the finish. Good potential here.
