Description

The Bonnes Mares Grand Cru lies between the village of Morey-Saint-Denis to the north and Chambolle-Musigny to the south, halfway up the hillside where the slope is very steep (11%). The plot ranges in altitude from 278 to 296 meters. The lieu-dit faces east.


The soil changes from east to west. The reddish-brown soil in the eastern part is 40 to 50 cm thick, with frequent blunt crinoidal limestone fragments (Entroques limestone). To the west, the light-colored soil is about as thick, but less stony, with some small oyster shells.

Two different types of substratum underlie Les Bonnes Mares. In the eastern part, ocher limestone rich in debris from marine organisms (Entroques limestone) crops out in places, because there was once a quarry in this Grand Cru. In the upper quarter of the plot, to the west, this limestone is overlain by marls rich in small oyster shells (Ostrea Acuminata marls).

Review
The 2023 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has a complex bouquet with a mixture of red and black fruit, Morello cherries and blackcurrant, later joined with subtle blueberry scents. It's finely delineated, quite open and intense as Bonnes-Mares should be. The palate has a touch of dark chocolate on the entry. It's quite fleshy, but there is real structure underneath. There are touches of black pepper toward the finish. Excellent. Drinking Window, 2028 - 2052.
