Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru Joseph Drouhin
Information
About the producer

In 1880 Joseph Drouhin founded the eponymous wine merchant, but it was his son, Maurice, who after the First World War, started to buy some of the good parcels around Beaune, including the famous Clos des Mouches. Maurice's nephew, Robert, continued his uncle's good work and expanded the domain in to certain prestigious terrroirs, such as Musigny, Griotte-Chambertin, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze, Bonnes Mares, Grands Échézeaux, etc. A pioneer in vinification methods, he was one of the first winemakers in Burgundy to move towards sustainable farming principles: limited fertilisers and treatments, yield management, etc. The Joseph Drouhin house has been managed by Robert Drouhin's four children since 2003. This famous house in Beaune is internationally renowned and consists of 72 hectares of vineyard, divided in to 26 ha of red and 46 ha of white. It spreads from north to south between Chablis (38 hectares), Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune (30 hectares). In 1987 the Domaine also acquired vines in Orégon.

About the wine

Bonnes-Mares is aged for between 14 and 18 months in a barrel (20% of the barrels are new). The colour is intense ruby red and beautiful aromas abound of Morello cherry, raspberry and wild cherry wood, as well as notes of tobacco and even notes of musk after a few years. Balanced on the palate, it is fairly well structured and remarkably long-lasting.
