    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%
    96/100

    The 2016 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has an intense bouquet with blackberry, redcurrant and cranberry scents laced with tobacco and woodland aromas. Lovely definition and focus here. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, enormous depth and great concentration, perhaps the most Musigny-esque of the Bonnes-Mares. Great length but it needs some serious cellaring. Enormous potential here. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.
