Take the stress out of buying a gift, let them choose exactly what they want.
This is a Bonnes Mares of distinction: it is the only part of the vineyard to fall within Morey-Saint-Denis (the rest is in Chambolle-Musigny). It is muscular, yet tender, with a deep and concentrated core. There is an unbelievable length on display here, with a finish that fans out across the palate.
The 2023 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has a well-defined bouquet with black cherries, wild strawberries and light loamy aromas coming through with aeration. It is maybe a little Musigny-like. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and gentle grip, slightly peppery in style with a persistent, quite saline finish. Without a doubt, this is a fabulous Bonnes-Mares with great potential. It may very well land at the top of my banded score.
An even crimson red, with a gorgeous perfume here, bright red cherries, an exquisite balance. Unforced, then slightly firmer tannins, but this will steady the wine for the longer term. Understated but very classy. Drink from 2032-2040. Tasted Nov 2024.
