Note di degustazione
The 2020 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru was cropped at just 20-22hl/ha due to the dryness. Today this is similar on the nose to the sample I encountered in London, though perhaps there is a small reduction at play. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine depth and plenty of mineralité ; the 30% whole bunch imparts a pleasant pepperiness on the finish. Quite a cerebral Bonnes-Mares this, not flamboyant, but there is real complexity here.

40% whole bunch vinification 80% new wood, and a yield of just 24 hl/ha. Dark dense purple, this is clearly one of the ripe wines though somewhat saved by the whole bunches which give greater life to the sundried cherry fruit. Very succulent through the second half of the palate, though at the limit of ripeness. The whole bunches pull out the length very nicely and it finishes well. Tasted: December 2021
The 2020 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru offers ample fruit on the nose: raspberry preserve and wild strawberry. Perhaps here, I would like more blue fruit, more floral scents to really pin it down as a Bonnes-Mares. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy tannins, fine acidity, just missing a little tension on the finish where some of the warmth of the summer dictates the style a little. Fine, though I suspect the ‘19 will be better.
