Vinous

The 2023 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru, picked in two stages, offers a very perfumed bouquet. Blackberry and blueberry fruit take center stage, while the whole bunch lingers in the background. The medium-bodied palate features a sapid, ripe entry with saturated tannins and layers of black fruit laced with white pepper and hints of orange rind. The finish is intense yet graceful. This may well outperform the 2022. Superb. 11/2024

Inside Burgundy

Bright and even purple. An ever-increasing depth of ripe raspberry on the nose, yet with some stricter savoury qualities too. Seamless on the palate, unsure of which commune it lies in, close to giving the best of both. A cousin to Chambolle yet with marked Morey tendencies. The complexity continues across the palate (Morey) while the finish has additional sensuality (Chambolle). Drink from 2032-2038. Tasted Dec 2024.
