2020 Bonnes-Mares, Grand Cru, Domaine Bertheau, Burgundy

From a .344 ha parcel located in 100% terres rouges.

This is also beautifully perfumed with pretty red berry scents cut with earth, oak, anise and violet notes. There is a bit more size and weight, if less minerality, to the larger-scaled flavours that coat the palate while exhibiting fine length on the serious built-to-age finish. This is not a huge wine by the typical standards of the appellation, but then again, the Bertheau version rarely is; indeed, it's more of a Bonnes Mares of finesse and understatement.

Drink from 2032 onward
