Bonnes-Mares position on Chambolle-Musigny's northern border gives it a unique style relative to what the wines of Chambolle are known for. Namely, that uniqueness is best represented with a wine that is rich and broad. While tasting the 2016 vintage from barrel, our guide from the Maison at the time, noted that he liked to think of this wine as a red version of Bâtard-Montrachet! It’s richness and potency separating it from its peers in Chambolle-Musigny. A portion of the vineyard, is technically in Morey-Saint-Denis. Jadot’s parcels of Bonne-Mares has been 100% in Chambolle-Musigny since 2005.
Burghound: 92-95 Points
A densely fruited and liqueur-like nose of red cherry, underbrush, spice, earth and menthol slides into the massively-scaled and suave flavors that possess superb mid-palate concentration and evident muscularity before culminating in a robust, powerful and imposingly structured finish that goes on and on. Once again this is an exceptionally firm effort that is beyond all doubt built-to-age and a wine that is going to need at least a decade of bottle age first.
Vinous Media
Full, deep red. Distinctly darker and more medicinal on the nose than the Musigny, hinting at blueberry, blackberry and licorice. Then very ripe and densely packed on the palate, with its flavors of black fruits, medicinal cherry, brown spices and crushed rock lifted by a floral topnote and framed by insidious ripe acidity. Finishes with broad, dusty tannins and terrific lift. This wonderfully savory, super-concentrated Bonnes-Mares is actually remarkably sweet and sexy today, but it's hard to believe that it won't shut down in bottle at some point. (ST)
