Domaine Denis Mortet Bonnes Mares Grand Cru 2023 750ml

95-97 The 2023 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru comes from old vines that suffer millerandage on the mid-slope, done with 80% whole bunches with the central stems removed. It has a clean and precise bouquet with blackberry, graphite, violet and crushed stone scents that blossom in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned, supple tannins. It is fleshy and sapid toward the finish but boasts an insistent grip, lingering with a touch of black pepper on the aftertaste. This is a serious Bonnes-Mares for long-term consideration.
