Tasting notes
Cask sample. Mid crimson. Very stemmy/herbal on the nose. A little too much so, giving a lightish, chalky-textured wine. I like the influence of stems but not sure the balance is right here as it is pretty light in the middle. Maybe in 10 years I will be proved wrong. (JH)

Bouchard's valedictory 2022 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is a brilliant wine in the making, wafting from the glass with aromas of raspberries and plums mingled with rose petals, violets and orange zest. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's elegantly muscular, with a cool core of fruit, polished tannins and a long, mineral finish.
