Bonnes Mares, Grand Cru, 2013

justerini & brooks tasting note

Firmer and more muscular than the Clos de Bèze; deep, dark crunchy forest fruit, dense-packed and serious. Intense long flavours, there is great underlying potential here. Aeration reveals more layers of flavour, cherry, loganberry, cherry stone and earth. A wine to lay down. From two parcels in the Morey commune, one of which is next to Clos de Tart, giving quite a generous, rich and voluptuous style of Bonnes-Mares. One part was planted in 1946 another in 1980.

critic reviews

94/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous

Moderately saturated medium red. Highly nuanced scents of red cherry, raspberry, flowers and underbrush. At once silky and penetrating, showing a positive medicinal aspect to its flavors of red berries, flowers and spicy herbs. Very shapely wine with a rising finish featuring suave tannins and noteworthy finesse. A superb showing; this strikes me as more refined than the larger-scaled 2014.
