2017 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru Domaine Release 2022 Comte Georges de Vogüé, Burgund (0,75l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2017 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru Domaine Release 2022, Comte Georges de Vogüé

The 2017 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru is also unusually saturated in hue this year, though Millet reports having done no more pigeage than usual. Offering up aromas of dark cherries, wild berries, cassis, dark chocolate, peony and caramelized orange rind, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and elegantly fine boned, with chalky structuring tannins, a pure core of fruit and a long, fragrant finish. Despite its disconcertingly deep hue this is one of the most supple, elegant renditions of the de Vogüé Bonnes Mares in the last decade. - William Kelley, Jan. 2019

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2017 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru Domaine Release 2022, Comte Georges de Vogüé

A very ripe yet agreeably fresh nose reflects notes of blue berry, plum liqueur and violet that are cut with spice, menthol and earth hints. The exceptionally rich and impressively full-bodied flavors evidence a taut muscularity, all wrapped in an overtly powerful and lingering finish that is naturally sweet. As one would reasonably expect this is quite firm; indeed it's borderline rustic. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2020

Vinous - 2017 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru Domaine Release 2022, Comte Georges de Vogüé

The 2017 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has a complex bouquet that is slightly more Musigny in personality than I expected. There is mainly dark fruit here, mixed with potpourri and incense and becoming more flamboyant as it aerates in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, and quite compact in style because, as François Millet noted, these 2017s are beginning to close down. But there is certainly good density here, and an enticing tensile finish. - Neal Martin, Jan. 2020
