The 2023 Louis Jadot Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is a powerful and age-worthy red Burgundy sourced from one of the Côte de Nuits' most prestigious Grand Cru vineyards. Straddling the communes of Chambolle-Musigny and Morey-Saint-Denis, Bonnes-Mares is renowned for producing Pinot Noir with both depth and structure. The nose is intensely aromatic, revealing layers of black cherry, wild blackberry and raspberry alongside notes of violet, forest floor, spice and subtle oak complexity.
On the palate, it is full-bodied by Pinot Noir standards, with impressive concentration balanced by freshness and precision. Flavours of dark berries, red cherry and plum are framed by fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity, while savoury notes of earth, dried herbs and spice add further complexity. The wine shows remarkable depth and length, finishing with persistence, structure and the distinctive character that defines great Grand Cru Burgundy.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional Pinot Noir for collectors and Burgundy enthusiasts seeking one of the region's benchmark Grand Cru wines. Its combination of fruit intensity, structure and finesse makes it an excellent match for duck, game birds, roast lamb, beef Wellington or mushroom-based dishes. While captivating in its youth with careful decanting, this wine is built for long-term cellaring and is expected to develop beautifully over the next 15–25 years.
