Domaine Drouhin-Laroze Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru 2021
The Bonnes Mares plot is 1.5 hectares and is located exclusively on the Chambolle-Musigny side on low, clayey and ferruginous soil.
Doimainet bought the plot back in 1953. The old vines are still standing in the field after approx. 100 years.Vinification takes place today with 25% whole bunches, before the wine ages in 80% new casks from Allier and Nivernais with medium roasting to give the wine a restrained and harmonious cask character.
The color is a beautiful ruby red. The first scent that hits are blackcurrant buds and flowers. Spices and aromas from small red berries then appear, along with a touch of licorice.
The sweet taste of rose gives subtlety and style. The wine is silky smooth and with a multitude of nuances. The acidity is perfectly balanced and goes sublimely with the discreet tannins. The aftertaste goes on and on with new layers.
The result is an excellent and unsurpassedly elegant wine.
