2010 Louis Jadot, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru 6x75cl

Vinous – 94-96

The 2010 Bonnes-Mares bursts onto the palate with dark cherries, mint, flowers and graphite. This is another picture-perfect, representative wine that captures the essence of the white soils in this part of Bonnes Mares. There is more than enough fruit to fill out the wine’s broad shoulders and balance the big tannins. A clean vein of minerality gives the wine its center and focus. A final blast of blue and black fruit stains the palate on the finish. [Antonio Galloni, 02/01/2012]

From the Chambolle Musigny side. Dark ruby. Solid and intriguing but nervy nose, So much cherry fruit! Explosive! Like fruit compote! Rich and complete and already gorgeous. Pure pleasure! Reverberant. The flavours of a Germanic breakfast somehow – smoked meat? And dark fruit flavours. Great precision. [18/11/2011]
