Description of the Domaine Bertheau & Fils
Very ripe black fruit and violet notes that lead to intense, huge and powerful, moderately structured full-bodied flavors
Robert Parker : 92-94 points
Hailing exclusively from "terres rouges," 2017 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is the king of the cellar, unfurling in the glass with a less outgoing bouquet of peony, cherries, cassis, currant leaf and rich soil tones. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, deep and structured, with a rich chassis of fine-grained tannins, juicy acids and a long, mineral finish. While it’s still quintessentially Chambolle, it’s the most muscular wine in the range and will demand the most patience.
Allen Meadows : 93 points
A background hint of wood easily allows the cool and equally pure essence of red currant, plum and violet scents to be appreciated. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the tautly muscular flavors that are also shaped by relatively fine-grained tannins on the balanced and lingering finale. This is a Bonnes Mares of refinement and finesse that should age well on a base of balance.
Domaine Bertheau
Chambolle 1er Cru
More complex yet more reserved on the nose with the hallmark sexy, spicy and pure black fruit aromas that are followed by deeply pitched
Domaine Méo-Camuzet
Clos Rognet
The nose is expressive, even explosive with real volume and really pretty spice cut with plenty of earth and an elegant touch of minerality
Domaine Lamarche
Clos Vougeot
Domaine Joseph Drouhin
Clos Des Mouches
The 2018 Beaune Clos des Mouches is totally beautiful. It shows gorgeous inner perfume and a weightless, gracious personality
Claire Naudin
Côte De Nuits
Domaine Niellon
Clos De La Maltroie
The racy, intense and notably finer middle weight flavors exude a subtle minerality on the beautifully textured finale that is both more persistent and more complex
Domaine Méo-Camuzet
Les Chaumes
Delicious. Rich and supple, with black cherry and cassis aromas and flavors, all beautifully integrated into the vibrant structure.
Domaine Livera Philippe
Chapelle Chambertin
This is quite deeply colored in the context of what is typical for the 2016 vintage. Ripe and deeply pitched aromas speak of plum liqueur, various dark berries and plenty of earth, sauvage and forest floor elements
