About this winery
Located in Chambolle-Musigny, this estate is one of the major properties of the Côte-d'Or. It has the largest surface area in Musigny, completed by some magnificent crus such as the Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses, the bonnes-mares, as well as a rare white musigny (downgraded to white burgundy between 1993 and 2015, following replanting). The vines of Musigny (red) less than 25 years old are folded in Chambolle-Musigny premier cru. The wines of this estate have always been cited as examples...

Production notes
The terroir here has more red clay (where Morey has more marl and limestone) for a more velvety-textured, rounder wine, with characteristic aromas of violets and wildflowers.
Tasting notes
The 2018 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is a limpid deep purple. It has a heavenly bouquet distantly related to the Les Amoureuses, offering precocious but detailed blueberry, black cherry, crushed iris petal and crushed limestone aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with an edgy, marine-influenced opening, a tang of shucked oyster shells infusing the black and blueberry fruit, leading to a detailed, tensile, lightly spiced finish. A long tail of white pepper lingers on the aftertaste. Accompanies very well duck breast , paupiette of veal, filet mignon of beef with green pepper sauce..
