    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Bruno Clair, Bonnes Mares, Grand Cru, 2013

    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.

    ABV:
    13%
    97/100

    The 2015 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has another very pure, elegant bouquet, firmly in red rather than black fruit territory and quite lush and sensual - one of the most seductive you will find this year. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin and perfectly pitched acidity; it feels supple at first, though the second half has a more chalky texture and the red fruit merges with more black fruit. Gaining structure toward the oaky finish, it exerts firm grip and sports stupendous length. Wonderful. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
