"Voluptuous, exuding ripe plum and black cherry aromas, with notes of eucalyptus, earth and leather. The texture is silky yet dense, and there is no lack of tannic grip, and enough freshness to draw this to a lingering finish. The grapes are from a 0.43 hectare parcel in lieu-dit Mochamps; 30% are fermented as whole clusters before ageing in cask (15% new). This wine should be approachable young but has the substance to age for decades."

"The 2021 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has a succinct bouquet with fine delineation and assiduous use of whole cluster that lets the terroir shine through. Very cohesive and complex despite some reduction. The palate is medium-bodied with finely chiselled tannins. Taut and fresh, lightly spiced with a nubile finish that feels quite sensual, this is a lovely seductive Bonnes-Mares that should age well in bottle. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting."

"The Clos de la Roche from Arlaud is from the lieu-dit Mochamps; the parcel runs from the road up to Domaine Ponsot. 20% of the grapes are fermented as whole clusters, and the wine is ageing now in cask, 20% new. The wine is charmingly aromatic, with a ripe, peony-scented cherry fruit and earthy notes. The texture is silky, round, and velvety; there is more aromatic expression but less depth than the Charmes-Chambertin. The wine should start to open in five years and will continue to improve for a further twenty."
