Nose: spices and red fruit

fresh and fruity carried by an elegant backbone of still juvenile tannins and animating acidity

Robert Groffier Bonnes Mares Grand Cru 2017 Sylvie et Jacques Guinaudeau jammy firm tannic finishThe 2017 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru is matured in one third new oak and includes 100% whole bunch fruit. It has a precocious, extrovert bouquet which is exactly what I demand from my Bonnes Mares featuring intense black and blueberry fruit and hints of violet mixed with hoisin. The palate is medium bodied with succulent, saturated tannin that lends this Bonnes Mares a fleshy, almost corpulent mouthfeel. There is great volume here and yet ample freshness
