Tasting Notes

93-95
Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 21
The 2020 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru, which has 50% whole bunch, shows quite a lot of stems on the nose, black pepper and clove plus brown spices infusing the dark berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins, lightly peppered with quite a refined finish not unlike the Chambertin. This constitutes one of the best reds from Bouchard Père this vintage.
