Tasting Notes

The 2015 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru is a young classic, revealing a youthful bouquet of cherries, red berries, candied peel, rose petal and currant leaf, with little to hint at the savory bass notes to come. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with an ample chassis of chalky tannins cloaked in a deep core of intense, crunchy fruit, its finish long and taut. This Bonnes Mares is more structurally assertive than the Clos Saint-Denis and even the elegant Clos de la Roche, and it will demand correspondingly greater patience while it develops in the cellar.

Don't miss!
A discreet application of wood sets off less evidently spicy but even more complex aromas of black cherry, red currant, earth, game and once again Asian-style tea scents. The rich, powerful and overtly muscular broad-shouldered flavors coat the palate with dry extract before culminating in a hugely long finish. What I like about this wine though is the subtle interplay of structural elements that contribute mightily to the sense of harmony and grace, which is relatively unusual for such a big wine. In short, this is first-rate.
