The 2018 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is armed with precocious black cherries, cassis, crushed violets and a touch of iodine on the nose, aromatics that have no intention of holding back. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, wonderful precision and sense of energy. Almost playful toward the very pure, sensual, vivid finish. This is a superb "BM" from Louis Jadot and it should offer 30-plus years of pleasure. 2023 - 2055
The 2018 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) offers up a deep bouquet of raspberries, wild berries, ripe cherries, dark chocolate and rose petals. On the palate, it's full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with succulent acids, fine-grained structuring tannins and a long, mineral finish.
**Note: 100% from the Chambolle side that combines about one-third terres rouges and the remainder from terres blanches**
Firm reduction renders the nose impossible to assess today. Otherwise there is impressive volume to the succulent and seductively textured but imposingly scaled flavors that terminate in a firm and very serious finish that despite the extra size and weight is better-balanced.
