Classic young Bonnes Mares with its austere, firm exterior yet with a breathtakingly intense inner core of fiery fruit and extract of pinot. The sweet tannins are mouth coating and the texture almost liquorous yet there is a certain tension here that adds a note of mystery, as though the wine has much more to reveal than its presently hinting at. This may well have the best balance and overall material of any of these 99s and I have long believed that it is the most underrated wine in the Dujac portfolio. Captivating in every sense.

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Bonnes-Mares is a Grand Cru straddling Chambolle-Musigny and Morey-Saint-Denis in Burgundy's Cote de Nuits, producing powerful, dense yet perfumed Pinot Noir reds that combine muscle with finesse and reward long cellaring.
