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.
Wine Advocate: 94-96 Points
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. (WK)
Neal Martin: 94-96 Points
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 Bonnes-Mares.
Burghound: 93-96 Points
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
