The 1990 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru from Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé is a classic expression from an exceptional Burgundy vintage, noted for its power and elegance. The wine presents a deep, complex profile of plum, blackberry, raspberry and vanilla, alongside the earthy, mineral undertones typical of the Bonnes-Mares vineyard. The domaine is the largest owner of Bonnes-Mares, holding 2.7 hectares within this Grand Cru appellation, a significant portion of which lies in the richer terres rouges section.

Robert Parker
While the Bonnes Mares is closed, the dark ruby/purple color and the wine`s terrific potential are evident. Full-bodied, with a blossoming, black-cherry nose complemented by a judicious use of toasty new oak, this wine exhibits wonderful richness, excellent definition and structure, and a long, dense, concentrated finish. Anticipated maturity. 1997-2010.
After a wait of nearly twenty years, these 1990s are the first truly profound wines to emerge from this great domaine since 1972. If the rigid oenologist who fashions these wines, Monsieur Millet, would throw away his filters, they probably could have been even more exciting. However, these 1990s are stunning enough to convince me that the resurrection of Comte de Vogue has begun. Interestingly, Millet has shown some flexibility and is now doing a cold maceration of 5-7 days before starting the fermentation, which has no doubt contributed to the black/purple color of these wines.
