The 2016 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru was hit by the frost so that half the fruit was lost early in the season. Apparently it touched the highest, not lowest, part of the vineyard. It has a gentle bouquet that unfurls in the glass, plenty of crushed strawberry and raspberry fruit, notes of incense and iris developing with a light marine influence. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, well-judged acidity, succulent in the mouth with great intensity on the finish. It will require several years in bottle but this would be my pick of the grand crus from the domaine. Just two barrels this year.
