Tasting Notes
Remarkably forward for young Bonnes Mares and this too is very, very ripe if not heavy and remains identifiably pinot noir in basic character. Sweet, supple and only moderately structured, this is already approachable though it will clearly benefit from 4 to 6 years of bottle age. In particular, this displays lovely finishing complexity and fine length.

Medium red, a bit less saturated than the Reignots. Very ripe, scented nose of raspberry, blackberry, smoked meat, iron and underbrush. Then rm and rather cool in the mouth, with avors of dark fruits, menthol and underbrush. Very dierent in shape from the Reignots; more youthful but also deeper and richer. A strong showing.
