This wine is sourced from vineyards just 100 meters below the renowned Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru, benefiting from a prime location that imparts both finesse and power. The soil, a harmonious mix of limestone and clay, enhances the wine’s balance and depth.
On the nose, delicate red berries, ripe raspberries, and wild strawberries intertwine with floral notes of violets and rose petals. Subtle hints of crushed stones, underbrush, and sweet spice add layers of complexity.
The palate is vibrant and expressive, with a lively acidity and refined texture leading to silky tannins that provide structure without overshadowing the purity of fruit. Red cherry and cranberry shine through, while the terroir-driven elements of forest floor and a delicate mineral streak add further nuance.
The finish is long and graceful, leaving a lasting impression of red fruit and subtle earthiness. Great vintage in its prime!
