Tasting notes
The 2020 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is superb, the latest in a series of remarkable iterations of this cuvée. Wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet red berries, rose hips, peonies, orange rind and warm spices, it's full-bodied, ample and layered, with terrific concentration, velvety tannins and lively acids. Deep and complete, it will be long-lived.

The 2020 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru, which has 50% whole bunch, shows quite a lot of stems on the nose, black pepper and clove plus brown spices infusing the dark berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins, lightly peppered with quite a refined finish not unlike the Chambertin. This constitutes one of the best reds from Bouchard Père this vintage.
