Description

Joseph Drouhin
Bonnes Mares
Grand Cru

Bonnes-Mares is halfway between Chambertin and Musigny, and yet less well-known than either.

The vineyard straddles two communes: Morey and Chambolle. The Drouhin parcel is located on the Chambolle side.

 

Producing communes:

• • Chambolle-Musigny and Morey-Saint-Denis.

  • This wine comes from grapes harvested on some parcels of the Drouhin Family Properties as well as from grapes and musts purchased from supply partners according to rigorous specifications.

Vinification:

• • Whole cluster of 20 to 50% depending on the vintage.

  • In accordance with the terroir and the profile of the vintage, we do 2 to 3 weeks of fermentation and maceration in small open vats, marked by punching of the cap and pumping-over.

  • The yeasts are indigenous (natural). Pressing in a vertical press.

  • Separation of the ends of the presses based on tasting.

Ageing:

• • In oak barrels including 30% new oak barrels.
  • The ageing lasts between 16 to 20 months.

GRAPE VARIETY: 100% Pinot Noir

FOOD PAIRINGS: This is a grand wine which deserves the best accompaniment: prime meat, morels, truffles, wild hare, aged cheeses. Bonnes-Mares is a rare and generous wine for the greatest occasions.

TASTING NOTES: “A wine with great breed. Bright, intense ruby-red color. Complex aromas of Morello cherry (« griotte »), cherrywood, raspberry, and, in some years, a discreet touch of tobacco. As the wine ages, there are notes of truffle and musk. On the palate, a good balance between structure and texture. A remarkably long aftertaste”. – Véronique Boss-Drouhin
