At the pinnacle of Burgundy, the Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru 2022 from Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé stands as a finely crafted ode to Pinot Noir. Sourced from the Chambolle-Musigny side of this legendary site, planted on red clay soils famed for delivering suppleness and flesh, this great wine offers an aristocratic interpretation of restrained power. The 2022 vintage, sunny yet perfectly controlled, showcases pure fruit, sapid energy and a depth of texture that unfolds with endless grace. The bouquet, woven with violet, wildflowers and small red fruits, opens onto forest-floor nuances and a saline signature that prolongs the momentum. On the palate, a precise acidity chisels the wine, revealing integrated tannins that promise luminous aging. Rewarded with very high acclaim from the international press, this Grand Cru belongs to the lineage of wines that shape a cellar’s memory and elevate moments of contemplation or sharing.

Blend and vinification

This wine is made exclusively from Pinot Noir, harvested on the Chambolle-Musigny slope of the Bonnes-Mares climat. The red clay soils, known to bring density, suppleness and a floral thread, deliver here an expression of rare accuracy. The 2022 vintage combines bright fruit and a straight structure, supported by precise acidity. The ageing, conducted with the precision and restraint characteristic of Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé, favours the purity of terroir expression and tactile finesse. The aim is to preserve aromatic integrity, refine the matter and set the wine on a cellaring trajectory, without ever weighing down the frame. The result, concentrated and refined, unites grace and depth with striking clarity.

Tasting notes

• Appearance : Bright ruby with purple highlights, exemplary clarity. The viscosity announces good concentration and perfectly controlled ripeness.
• Nose : Captivating and nuanced, it marries violet and woodland flowers with flashes of cherry and raspberry. Hints of sweet spices, a touch of damp leaf and a mineral impression suggest complexity to come.
• Palate : A caressing attack, velvety texture, an ample mid-palate carried by lively, controlled acidity. The finely edged tannic frame stretches to a long, saline and delicately rosy finish, the hallmark of haute couture terroir.

Serving temperature and advice

Serve between 16 and 18°C in large Burgundy glasses to allow the floral range and fruit depth to unfold. A gentle decant can be considered when young, for 30 to 60 minutes, to reveal the silky texture and emphasize freshness. Store bottles in a cellar, protected from vibration and light, to allow the palate to integrate and gain complexity. The 2022 shows a remarkable cellaring potential, its structure and balance predicting a harmonious evolution over the years.

Food pairings

• Aperitifs : truffle gougères, shavings of cured ham, delicate forest tartlets.
• Starters : perfect egg with wild mushrooms, herb-seasoned veal tartare, delicate game terrine.
• Mains : roast duckling with mild spices, pigeon with a cocoa crust, porcini risotto, pink-centred veal with reduced jus.
• Cheeses : aged Brillat-Savarin, tempered Époisses, long-aged fruity Comté.
