Structured and substantial; there is a black plum and mulberry fruit, accented with notes of smoke, fresh saddle leather, earth and game. The texture is super-concentrated, with firm, grippy tannins, massive extract, and more than enough freshness to carry this to a superbly long finish. The grapes are from a parcel of 1.64ha on the Morey side of the appellation; the oldest vines were planted just after the Second World War, the youngest being 40 years old. This is top-flight wine.(CC)

A touch of bitter chocolate gives extra appeal to this powerful, highly structured wine that has a lot of earthy, meaty, forest-berry depth. This has a much firmer finish, bold and crisp, than the majority of Bonnes-Mares grands crus. From the Morey-Saint-Denis side of this site, where the soil is deep and red.

The 2023 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has a well-defined bouquet with black cherries, wild strawberries and light loamy aromas coming through with aeration. It is maybe a little Musigny-like. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and gentle grip, slightly peppery in style with a persistent, quite saline finish. Without a doubt, this is a fabulous Bonnes-Mares with great potential. It may very well land at the top of my banded score.(NM)

An even crimson red, with a gorgeous perfume here, bright red cherries, an exquisite balance. Unforced, then slightly firmer tannins, but this will steady the wine for the longer term. Understated but very classy. Drink from 2032-2040. Tasted Nov 2024.

Notes

Bill Nanson Burgundy Report: "In 2016 Bruno recovered the rest of the family parcel, so here is all the Bonnes-Mares of Morey, next to Clos de Tart. The higher perfumes are much more accessible this time – it’s so good! Hmm, more open, almost airy scale, underpinned with a tiny grain of tannin. Waves of ultra-vibrant finishing flavour here in the finish – a completely different style of delivery vs the Bèze but just as long. What a fine pair!"(01/2025)
