RATINGS

93Wine Spectator

A coating of sweet fruit and velvet covers the firm tannins in this elegant red. This is smoky with raspberry, floral and mineral notes and a long resonant finish.

91-94Stephen Tanzer

Powerful, penetrating nose offers blueberry, white pepper, fresh herbs and rose petal. Intense and very pure but almost painfully unevolved today, communicating outstanding vibrancy to its flavors of dark berries, menthol and minerals.

18Jancis Robinson

Full and opulent on the nose. Broad, sweet and very pretty indeed - juicy and lovely balance. Precision.

90-93Burghound.com

...dark berry fruit aromas that merge into delicious, round and distinctly masculine and powerful flavors that are punchy, long and while not rustic, certainly robust.

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.
