Tasting Notes

92-94
Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 31 Jan 19
From a parcel on the Chambolle side at the top of the slope, the 2017 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru offers up pretty aromas of wild berries, dark chocolate, warm spices and dried flowers. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and layered, with a concentrated core of fruit that largely conceals its fine-grained but chalky structuring tannins. I expect it to land at the upper end of my bracketed score.

The 2017 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is opulent and high-toned on the nose, a touch of VA giving it lift, and perhaps a suggestion of freshly applied nail varnish distracting from the fruit. The palate is glossy, velvety in texture and very pure, featuring lush black cherries, crushed strawberry, blood orange and hints of cassis. There is some oak to be subsumed, but it’s just a little too sweet on the finish. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.

Very deep purplish crimson, one of the deepest wines on show in Burgundy Week. This smells almost overripe – or is it a slightly tired cask sample? Difficult to score anyway. I’m not confident of covering it with glory on the basis of this sample, I’m afraid. Not enough freshness. (JR)
