Bonnes Mares Grand Cru 2022

The 2022 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru from Philippe Charlopin exemplifies the power and nobility of this legendary grand cru straddling Morey Saint Denis and Chambolle Musigny. Here, Charlopin captures the unique character of a site known for combining muscular structure with ethereal elegance.

The nose is profound and complex, revealing layers of dark fruits and red berries intermingled with exotic spices, violet florals, and an underlying mineral tension characteristic of this prestigious terroir. The aromatic complexity shows both power and sophistication, with the warmth of 2022 bringing additional depth and ripeness.

On the palate, the wine displays impressive concentration and intensity while maintaining remarkable finesse. The structure is formidable yet refined - a hallmark of great Bonnes Mares - with sophisticated tannins providing the framework for extended aging. The generosity of the 2022 vintage has contributed additional richness while preserving the wine's sense of place. The finish is extraordinarily long and multi-layered, with waves of fruit, mineral notes, and subtle spice that continue to unfold.

This wine brilliantly captures both the profound nature of Bonnes Mares and Charlopin's masterful interpretation of this exceptional terroir in what proved to be an excellent vintage.
