| Description: | 98 JS / 94-96 Wa / 94-96 Vm / 93-96 Bh. At once deep and fragrant, with a wonderful red-rose aroma. There's a major tannin structure, but it neither pushes nor pulls you in any direction, rather it sits serenely at the heart of this super-elegant wine. Very long, filigree finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.-James Suckling. Deep and elegantly muscular, the 2019 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) is a layered, fleshy but tightly wound wine evocative or orange rind, rose petals, sweet berry fruit and raw cocoa. Full-bodied and concentrated, with a long, mineral finish, it will reward bottle age.-William Kelley, The Wine Advocate. The 2019 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has a floral bouquet of black and blueberry fruit infused with crushed violet and iris petal. This is completely destemmed, so it does not convey the same amplitude. The palate is medium-bodied, with light Earl Grey and ash notes tincturing the black fruit. Fine structure and focus here. Light on its feet toward the long, sustained finish. This is a superb BonnesMares.-Neal Martin, Vinous Media. Note: 100% from the Chambolle side that combines about one-third terres rouges and the remainder from terres blanches. Tasting note: Liqueur-like aromas of plum, kirsch, rose petal and violet are trimmed by notes of oak and menthol. There is decidedly more volume, if decidedly less refinement, to the big-bodied and markedly powerful flavors that possess an abundance of sappy dry extract that imparts a lovely texture to the intensely structured, muscular and impressively persistent finale. This is a buy and forget you own it wine for at least 10 years and a wine that should amply repay 20+ years. Don't Miss! –Allen Meadows, Burghound |
