RATINGS

94+ Stephen Tanzer

Boasts excellent density without weight and really shimmers on the whiplash of a finish, with notes of red licorice and menthol perfuming the aftertaste.

93Wine Spectator

Rich and bursting with sweet fruit, this exudes black cherry, black currant, violet and spice flavors. Firmly structured and long, with the fruit notes returning on the lingering aftertaste, accented by a touch of spice.

93-95Burghound.com

...dark berry fruit aromas slide into detailed & intensely mineral-driven broad-shouldered flavors that coat the palate with dry extract. This is still very tight yet focused & driving on the persistent and impeccably well-balanced finish.

91-93The Wine Advocate

The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, a little subdued on the mid-palate but then returning with style on the suave, cassis-tinged, poised finish.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny, Bonnes Mares

Bonnes Mares is a Grand Cru vineyard that is located in two appellations Chambolle-Musigny and the neighboring Morey St.-Denis. Of the total of 37.6 acres, 33.75 are in Chambolle, and just under 4 acres are in Morey St. Denis. The history of the vineyard is complicated and today there are some 35 landholders. The vineyard lies between 265 and 300 meters. The soil is heavier toward Morey St.-Denis, which is the northern end of the vineyard, and lighter as the vineyard enters the Chambolle-Musigny commune. Principal landholders are De Vogue, 6.7 acres; Drouhin-Laroze, 3.7 acres; and Georges Roumier, 3.5 acres.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
