Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru--Vintage 2006
6 bottles per lot
Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru--Vintage 2006 Côte de Nuits. French-bottled: Lucien Le Moine In original carton Tasting note: Red raspberry preserves, sage, and horehound, and on the nose of Le Moine 2006 Bonnes Mares lead to a palate impression of formidable viscosity, seamless richness, and liqueur-like, candied impressions of extreme ripeness. Saline and chalky intimations of things mineral and smoked meat notes add welcome contrast, though I find this less dynamic, buoyant, or intriguing than some of the best wines of its vintage. Saouma insists (and not merely about this vintage) that Bonnes Mares is possessed of a uniquely "multi-directional" potential whose discernment or appreciation evidently eludes me. He also maintains that Bonnes Mares needs more time than other crus to show its true greatness, and I won't argue that the present wine seems destined for more than a decade of richness and complexity. (93-94) points. David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate #186, December 2009 6 bottles per lot
