Vinification

Aged in French Oak Barrels

The vinification process for the 2012 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru involves meticulous hand sorting and destemming of the grapes, followed by gentle pressing to preserve the fruit's delicate aromatics. Fermentation occurs in open wooden vats with natural yeasts, enhancing the wine's complexity. Post-fermentation, the wine is aged in French oak barrels, partly new, for approximately 18 months, allowing for a subtle integration of oak flavors and a smooth tannic structure.

2012

Concentrated, Powerful, Harmonious

The 2012 vintage in Burgundy experienced a challenging growing season with small yields, resulting in concentrated and balanced wines.

2014

Fresh, Poised, Elegant

2014 was a relatively cool, balanced vintage that produced fresh, aromatic wines with excellent aging potential. Bonnes-Mares benefited from steady ripening and its terroir’s mineral depth, resulting in wines of energy and poise. A vintage of brightness and precision.

2021

Tense, Precise, Mineral-Focused
