Bruno Clair represents the 6th generation or his family to make wine in Burgundy. His sons Edouard (vines) and Arthur (cellar) the 7th. The wines have always been great, but are achieving new heights with the last few vintages. Edouard and Arthur have move to organics in the vineyards and more refinement in the cellar. The wines' style haven't changed, but their vibrancy and clarity have been amped up.
Morey-St.-Denis side, next to Clos de Tart, southeast-facing, 280m average altitude, white limestone soil. Vines planted in 1942, 1962, 1978, and 1980.
Wine Advocate:
The 2023 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is a beauty, bursting with notes of orange zest, black raspberries, exotic spices, potpourri, violets and incense. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, with a cool core of fruit framed by sweet, powdery tannins and animated by lively acids, it concludes with a long, saline finish.
