Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru Domaine Louis Jadot 1985

The wine

The Bonnes-Mares vineyards that reach the commune of Morey-Saint Denis produce rougher wines (similar but slightly inferior to the Chambertins), but the majority of this appellation is situated in Chambolle-Musigny where the wines are round and delicate. The Bonnes-Mares from the Louis Jadot house is situated in Chambolle-Musingny on land with cracked, brown, marly soil. An elegant wine, sturdier than most of the Chambolles. Bonnes-Mares releases a very appealing scent of cooked blackberries. This full-bodied, mellow and slightly over-mature wine develops notes of red cherry compote, stone and mocha coffee. A great Burgundy wine.

About the Producer Louis Jadot

Based in Beaune, it combines historic stature with remarkable vitality, continuing to attract leading figures of the wine world to shape and interpret its many terroirs. Now owned by an American family, the wines are crafted under the assured direction of Frédéric Barnier, who safeguards the house’s hallmark precision and consistency. These unwavering standards are what sets Maison Jadot apart in Burgundy. With 225 hectares under vine and representation across 130 appellations, not only in the Côte d’Or but also in the Mâconnais and Beaujolais, wine lovers can expect genuine pleasure at every price level, always easily identifiable by the iconic Bacchus head on the label. The estate favours traditional winemaking methods, with slow fermentations and extended ageing. Chemical herbicides are prohibited and yields are strictly limited. A house where scale never eclipses identity, and tradition continues to shape every bottle.
