Description
Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé
Bonnes Mares Grand Cru
DESCRIPTION:
-
- The domaine owns a block of vines accounting for 2.7 hectares and an average production of approximately 420 cases per year.
- The vines are located entirely in the Chambolle portion of the vineyard that is closest to the village itself.
- This provides for a slightly more elegant Bonnes-Mares, but one that is heavily scented with violet and peony.
- The domaine’s vines average 29 years old.
- Millet started picking on September 9 in order to keep as much as freshness as possible.
- The fruit was 100% destemmed.
- New oak ranged from 15% for the Chambolle villages to 35-40% for the Bonnes Mares and Musigny Vieilles Vignes.
- The malos were on the slow side and for the most part.
GRAPE VARIETY:
-
- 100% Pinot Noir
FOOD PAIRINGS:
-
- Pinot Noir is well-suited to pair with poultry, beef, fish, ham, lamb and pork.
- It will play well with creamy sauces, spicy seasonings and may just be one of the world’s most versatile food wines.
TASTING NOTES:
-
- Deep cherry-red.
- A brooding nose that mixes red and black fruit, though black is dominant, with a coffee edge.
- Concentrated and tannic.
- Starts on full power, a gradual diminuendo is the character of the wine—well it couldn’t go higher—fading very slowly into the finish.
- It’s fully packed with material and shows great balance.
- Not a hint four-square, but I wouldn’t consider opening this bruiser for at least another eight years. – The Burgundy-Report.com
