Wine characteristics:

• Dress : The Dress of the Bonne-Mares 2019 is deep, intense, with slightly purplish reflections, testifying to the youth of the wine and its guard potential.

• Nose : The nose is expressive and complex, with a beautiful opening on aromas of ripe red and black fruits (blackcurrant, black cherry, blackberry), accompanied by delicate floral touches (violet, faded pink). We also perceive spicy notes (pepper, cinnamon), elegant wooded shades (cedar wood) and mineral touches which reveal the exceptional terroir of good-masses.

• Mouth : On the palate, this good-masres 2019 is distinguished by its depth and balance. The tannins are firm and well structured, but thin enough to offer a silky texture. The richness of black fruits mixes harmoniously with spicy and wooded notes, supported by a precise acidity which gives the wine a beautiful freshness. The finish is long, with remarkable persistence and discreet but present minerality.

• Length : Excellent length, with a finish marked by notes of black fruit and a slight smoked touch that persists long after tasting.

Conservation and childcare potential:

• The good-mother 2019 is still very young and has an exceptional aging potential. It can be tasted within 5 to 10 years to come to appreciate its freshness and youth, but it will develop more over the years, reaching its peak in 10 to 20 years, or even more.

• It is recommended to let it age in the cellar in optimal conditions, at a stable and fresh temperature, to reveal all the complexity of this Grand Cru.

Potting and wines agreements:

• Meats : This good-masses 2019 gets married perfectly with quality red meats, such as a beef turnedos, a cute net, or a roasted game (deer, pheasant).
• Refined dishes : It can accompany more elaborate dishes such as a cassoulet or a veal rib in sauce.
• Cheeses : This Grand Cru also goes very well with hard -fired cheeses, such as the county or the Gruyère, as well as goat cheeses.
