Tasting Notes

Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru displayed the most reduction of the five Bonnes-Mares tasted together, but underneath there are intense black cherry, cassis and truffle aromas that gather momentum in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. This is succulent and poised, very harmonious and elegant, gently building to a very satisfying, mineral-led finish. This is a superb Bonnes-Mares from Henri Boillot.
