"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."

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.
Produces the most delicate and perfumed reds of the Cote de Nuits, prized for floral elegance and silky texture.
2015 in Burgundy was warm and dry, yielding concentrated, powerful and opulent reds with ripe tannins from low yields; the whites are richer and generous, though some show comparatively lower acidity.
