Tasting notes
The 2019 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is very promising, unwinding in the glass with notions of rapsberry, plums and blackberry fruit complemented by scents of peonies rose petals and blood orange. Full-bodied, layered and elegantly muscular, it's deeper and firmer than the Fuées despite their comparative proximity, with powdery tannins, lively acids and chalky back-end grip. This is a terrific proposition for the patient.

0.35 ha, 25 hl/ha. In the middle of the vineyard. Terres rouges and blanches. Four barrels, sometimes five. This is a small parcel and so is assembled from the start. Unracked cask sample. High-toned and mineral nose. Sweet start with lively undertow – quite a bit of gas. Really grabs the palate and doesn’t let it go … dry, tingly finish. (JR)
