🏰Dujac's 2019 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is noted as one of the more backward and reserved wines in their range, vibrant and mineral, needing time to fully develop. The 2019 vintage for Dujac saw average yields, about 10% less than normal, with 85-90% whole clusters used and new oak toned down to 70% for Grand Crus. The estate, now run by Jacques Seysses' son Jeremy and his wife Diana Snowden, focuses on combining traditional winemaking with smart farming, preserving each site's unique identity, with about 75% of vineyards farmed biodynamically. This 2019 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru offers a captivating nose of 【blackberries, red cherries, and hints of spice】. It has a beautiful balance between structure, fine-grained tannins, and well-integrated acidity, showcasing the classic refinement of the Bonnes Mares terroir. Robert Parker describes scents of 【rose petals, orange rind, sweet soil tones, and red fruits】, noting it as full-bodied, bright, and tightly wound. Vinous mentions a floral bouquet with 【violet and iris petal infusing red and blue fruit】, with very supple and lithe tannins and beautifully judged acidity, leading to an irresistible silky finish. 🍴 Classic pairings for red Burgundy include roasted poultry, game birds, mushroom dishes, and mild cheeses. 🥂 Fit for event: This wine is perfect for a special occasion dinner, a sophisticated tasting, or as a thoughtful gift for a Burgundy connoisseur.
