The 2016 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru was picked on 2 October, blended with 35% whole bunch fruit and with 40% new oak. It has a floral bouquet: wilted rose petals and violets infusing the red berry fruit, a touch of orange pith surfacing with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly rustic opening; there is good backbone and substance here with what you might call a solid finish that should see it age over the long term. One to watch.
