About the wine
Tasting notes
The Bonnes Mares appellation sits astride the village communes of Chambolle-Musigny and Morey-Saint-Denis, it therefore presents characteristics intermediate to both appellations. The influence of the Morey terroir gives frankness, firmness and the more earthy character. Then there is the aromatic spectrum of red fruit berries which dominates in Chambolle, blended with more mineral nuances and sometimes hints of forest floor undergrowth.

Expert review
A background hint of reduction doesn't materially detract from the otherwise broad-ranging nose that features notes of red currant, rose petal, lavender and Asian-style tea. Like the Fuées the focused and powerful flavors possess a relatively sleek mouth feel before culminating in a well-balanced and long finale where a hint of bitter cherry appears. This isn't super dense but it still has the stuffing to amply reward mid-term cellaring.
