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.
James Suckling: 96 Points
Extremely perfumed and aromatic character, offering fresh strawberries and watermelon, as well as white roses. Full body and fully integrated fruit with the tannins melted into the wine. Shows beauty and strength. Try after 2023 but already a joy to try.
Vinous Media: 94-96 Points
The 2017 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru offers attractive scents of red and black fruit, subtle notes of oyster shell and fish scales lurking in the background and imparting fine complexity. The palate is sumptuous on the entry, offering fleshy red fruit, real density and weight and a compelling, lightly spiced finish that displays cohesion and freshness. This is an excellent Bonnes-Mares from Jadot – in fact, one of the best I have tasted in this vintage. (NM)
Wine Advocate: 92-94 Points
The 2017 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) is excellent, and one of the high points of the range, unwinding in the glass with a reserved bouquet of cherries, red berries, peony and orange rind, with a little hint of the savory complexity to come. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a tight-knit, chalky but multidimensional core underpinned by bright animating acids, concluding with a long, mineral finish. This will need a decade or more in bottle to unwind but will be excellent in the fullness of time. (WK)
Burghound: 92-94 Points
Moderate wood/menthol influences can be found on the airier aromas that are composed by the essence of softly spicy red currant, lavender and a lovely floral hint. The succulent yet powerful larger-scaled flavors possess evident muscle while exhibiting excellent persistence on the extremely firm, serious and bitter cherry pit-inflected finish. This is a big 2017 and the most structured wine in the range.
