Bonnes-Mares, Grand Cru, 2024

A very silky yet quietly powerful Bonnes mares that is evidently hugely complex and full of layering and depth despite being extremely youthful and tightly wound. Giving it ample time in the glass, this relaxes to reveal a wine of superb balance and refined power. Focussed and long, with ultra fine tannins and a very sophisticated texture; it has none of the Bonne Mares firmness you sometimes find, just lift and detail and flow. This will be brilliant in time. The Groffier holdings comprise a blend of red and white soils, with a majority of the blend coming from the former.
