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 Arnaud Ente
Santenots
The nose shows a mass of fresh red fruit, concentrated and intense, with just the right ripeness. The palate is medium to full-bodied, ample and succulent, with a fleshy core of fruit and melting tannins

Domaine Arnaud Ente
Bourgogne
This Bourgogne Pinot Noir comes from the Magny lieu-dit, in the commune of Meursault. The vines are farmed with the same care as the estate’s great white cuvées, with naturally low yields
Hubert Lamy
Puligny 1er Cru
Les Tremblots is a lieu-dit in the south of Puligny-Montrachet, on the border with Chassagne. Its name probably comes from the aspen trees (trembles) that once grew there
