This isn't the most powerful wine in the range, but it's the most elegant; and it's refreshing to see Bonnes Mares interpreted in this register, rather than being extracted to the point of monstrosity.

Bouchard's Bonnes Mares Grand Cru stands out as the pinnacle of their portfolio, making it a wine worth going the extra mile to find. This exceptional wine offers an intricate bouquet with a delightful blend of peonies, rose petals, wild berries, and bergamot, creating a perfumed and quintessentially Chambolle aroma. Even though the upper part of the vineyard is undergoing replanting, this wine is exclusively sourced from the so-called "terres rouges." It presents a medium to full-bodied profile and boasts layered and perfumed characteristics, accompanied by impressive concentration, vibrant acidity, and a lingering, mineral-laden finish.
