Product Description
VM97 The 2018 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is a level up in terms of intensity, offering layers of black cherry and blueberry fruit; this could only come from this particular vineyard. Wonderful precision and quite floral. The palate is medium-bodied with firm grip, succulent tannins and a very saline finish. A very intense Bonnes-Mares, almost overwhelming toward the finish at this premature juncture, though the persistence has to be felt to be believed.
DR97 Since the acquisition of an extra parcel of rented vines (en métayage) since 2016, Christophe Roumier's Bonnes Mares comes from a 60/40 blend of white to red soils. Lightly acidified in 2018 to preserve freshness, it's a textured, hauntingly balanced cuvée with weightless, graceful intensity, floral top notes, some fresh tobacco notes from 60% stems and finely integrated 33% new wood. Typically brilliant.
