Enjoying Bonnes Mares Grand Cru

What makes Bonnes Mares so special in the glass, for me, is its ability to walk this line of power while still conveying distinct Chambolle-Musigny fruit. There is a ripeness to the wines that makes the mid-palate feel supple, but the tannins are almost always quite firm, and it can take time for them to unwind. From an intellectual standpoint, there is also the idea of ‘typicity’ — to what extent do these wines speak of their place, and how do we define that typicity given that there is a range of style within the grand cru.
