Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé is one of the oldest and most revered estates in Burgundy. The domaine encompasses 12.4ha, of which 7.2ha and 2.7ha are in the highly desirable Grands Crus of Musigny and Bonnes-Mares. With winemaker François Millet and vineyard manager Eric Bourgogne at the helm, standards are uncompromising with any vines under 25 years old being declassified and deemed unworthy of inclusion in their highest level bottlings.
The parcel of Bonnes-Mares is in the southeast portion of the vineyard and has vines dating back to 1945. It tends to have quite prominent tannins in youth but is accompanied by tremendous richness and complexity of fruit. From an excellent vintage such as 2018, this can be expected to fare very well over the next 10-15 years.

The 2018 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is noticeably deeper in colour than the five other 2018 Bonnes-Mares in this line-up. Here, the dark cherry fruit seems a little cooked with faint tinned prune and raisin notes in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannins, firm grip, dusky black fruit laced with black pepper, touches of thyme and sage. There is energy here, but similar to other Bonnes-Mares, the tannins seem to just poke out on the brawny and monolithic finish.
