The 2019 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has a rich and generous bouquet with blueberry and black cherry aromas, the most extravagant of Bruno Clair’s wines this year. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins, very poised and focused with a mineral-driven finish that lingers in the mouth. Lovely strictness on the finish counterbalances the precocity on the nose.Inc. GSTSG$3,246.52 -

The 2020 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is surprisingly backward on the nose with tightly-wound blackberry, redcurrant and cranberry fruit with sea spray and light pine cone aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy redcurrant and strawberry fruit. This is a solid Bonnes-Mares, correct, not flashy but serious and as such, it deserves several years in bottle.

The 2023 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has a well-defined bouquet with black cherries, wild strawberries and light loamy aromas coming through with aeration. It is maybe a little Musigny-like. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and gentle grip, slightly peppery in style with a persistent, quite saline finish. Without a doubt, this is a fabulous Bonnes-Mares with great potential.

(12x75cl) 2011Delve deep into the majestic world of elegant French Burgundy with the Bruno Clavelier Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru La Combe d'Orveau 2011. Masterfully crafted by Bruno Clavelier himself, a respected seventh-generation vigneron whose high regard for terroir and organic farming technique result in wines of extraordinary character. Bruno Clavelier's Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru is a Pinot Noir predominantly sourced from the lauded soils of the La Combe d'Orveau vineyard lying just above the Grand Cru Musigny.
This 2011 vintage showcases a vibrant ruby robe, carrying an intense bouquet of ripe cherry and wild strawberries, seamlessly merging with nuanced earthy undertones and a whisper of truffle. The palate is an exquisite balance between audacious red fruit flavours and elegant tannin structure, with an engagingly velvety finish. Ageing in French oak barrels imparts a subtle woody depth, making the Bruno Clavelier Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru La Combe d'Orveau 2011 a sublime embodiment of Burgundy's viticultural splendour.

The 2014 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Combe d'Orveaux was just a little reduced on the nose when we met at the domaine. Like the Noirots, this is holding something back. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit; there is mouth-sapping salinity here and it is delineated with good tension, gently building towards a lightly grippy finish. Once the aromatics awaken, this will be a lovely Chambolle Musigny, even if it is a bit of a broody bugger out of barrel.Inc. GSTSG$1,518.87 -

Clair Dau Bonnes Mares Grand Cru 1978 is a mature red from France’s Burgundy, sourced from the Bonnes Mares Grand Cru terroir. In this late-1970s vintage, extended bottle age is the defining feature: expect tertiary complexity rather than primary fruit, with savoury, sous-bois nuances, dried rose, game, tea leaf and truffle notes, and a palate shaped by softened tannins and gentle, lingering acidity.
Production details for this bottling are not consistently documented in globally recognised reference sources, so we avoid speculation regarding cépage, élevage, or specific vineyard practice. What can be stated with confidence is that Bonnes Mares is celebrated for delivering structure allied to aromatic finesse, and 1978 has entered its fully evolved phase. For collectors seeking authenticity and nuance, Clair Dau Bonnes Mares Grand Cru offers a rare opportunity to explore Grand Cru Burgundy at peak maturity.

Good fresh dark red. Flamboyant nose combines blueberry, blackberry, licorice and Cuban tobacco; distinctly blacker aromas than the '97. Great sweetness and penetration on the palate; flavors are given thrust and grip by a strong spine of acids and tannins. Quintessential grand cru intensity without excess weight. Extremely long, noble finish. Fascinating Bonnes-Mares, and likely to be very long-lived.Inc. GSTSG$2,433.05 -

Bright ruby-red. Captivating aromas of black raspberry, blueberry, minerals, violet and blood orange. Silky-sweet, dense and thick, with sexy oak tones and compelling sugar/acid snap. Here the tannins are thoroughly buffered by the wine's strong material, with powerful minerality contributing to the impression of structure. In the past few vintages, Millet has taken the estate's Bonnes-Mares to another level.Inc. GSTSG$10,808.31 -

Boasting a nose of great ripeness and freshness, the 2003 Bonnes Mares offers aromas of waxy black fruits and spices. Medium to full-bodied, it resembles liquid silk in both its attack and mid-palate. Luxurious and sensual, this highly expressive wine coats the palate with black cherries and dark raspberries whose effects linger in its tannin-packed, slightly dry finish. Projected maturity: 2009-2020.Inc. GSTSG$3,015.74 -
(6x75cl) 2004Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (93)
Good medium red. Aromas of blueberry, blackberry, currant, mocha, minerals and graphite. Sweet, solid and densely packed, showing less lift but more power than the Amoureuses. Conveys a rather medicinal, brooding quality as well as firm tannic grip. Still a rather elegantly styled wine, but a bit less minerally than the Amoureuses. Millet notes that the de Vogue holding is in the southeast corner of this grand cru, which he describes as "an elegant location, but not the best."Inc. GSTSG$5,023.22 -

Dark crimson. Brilliant energy and drive. Sharp and linear – I'm sure winemaker François Millet has a sonnet to describe the character of this wine – and bursting with fruit. Just starting to drink well. Extremely rich and sweet with some black cherry aspects to it. Very winning. Enjoyed at a dinner in the Adelaide Hills. Perhaps its journey across the equator had brought it on?Inc. GSTSG$1,031.77 -
(1x75cl) 2006Wine Advocate (94)
Mint, concentrated red and black fruits, smoked meat, and black pepper pungently scent the De Vogue 2006 Bonnes Mares. These migrate with almost implosive intensity to a palate lushly textured though finely tannic and almost implacably dense yet shot through with electric energy. Here are both the caressing and invigorating aspects at once present in so many of the best 2006s, each accentuated. Like so many young wines of its appellation, this is relatively backward and slightly unruly, but the longer the wine takes on air the more both its senses of richness and energy are enhanced. I would give this at least 3-4 years in bottle and anticipate at least 10-12 years of riveting performance.Inc. GSTSG$1,355.86 -
Wine Advocate (94)
De Vogue’s 2007 Bonnes Mares calls to mind sweet-tart black raspberry candies and herbal lozenges, along with notes of brown spices and smoky black tea. Rich, sedate, and provocatively sweet and perfumed, this manages simultaneously to preserve a saline savor and suggestion of lobster shell reduction that precludes anyone calling it a “fruit bomb.” The smoky and – for lack of a better covering term – “mineral” elements accompany this Bonnes Mares’ soothing finish all the way to its distant end. No doubt there is at least a decade’s worth of seduction and intrigue on hand, but here too, I would not hesitate to relish them significantly sooner.Inc. GSTSG$5,021.06 -

The 2008 Bonnes Mares is totally classy and elegant. It shows gorgeous inner liqueur-like sweetness, expressive aromatics and a rich, textured finish that is a marvel to behold.

From the south-east corner so all terres rouges. Pungent and concentrated. Lots of ‘minerality’. Masses of bumptious, almost gamey, fruit.

The 2015 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru is really blossoming now that the wine is safely in bottle. It has a gorgeous, floral bouquet with scents of blueberry, blackberry and briary, wonderful mineral expression here with a palpable sense of energy and precision. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin, what you might call a cool Bonnes Mares, sleek and sensual with very fine tension towards the red cherry and kirsch tinged finish. What a gorgeous Bonnes-Mares, though I would be inclined to afford it several years in bottle. Tasted November 2016.Inc. GSTSG$5,160.61 -

What a gorgeous Bonnes-Mares, though I would be inclined to afford it several years in bottle. Tasted November 2016.In BondSG$4,685.00 -

Towards the north of the Cote de Nuits, the chalky soils found in Chambolle Musigny can be credited for the signature elegance of these renowned wines. Although they might be lighter in colour and tannins, red wine from Chambolle does not lack for the purity and intensity of its fruit. The pinnacle of all of these qualities can be certainly be found in the two Grand Cru vineyards located in Chambolle, Musigny and Bonnes Mares.
