About Winery

Bonnes Mares is an Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) and Grand Cru vineyard for red wine in the Côte de Nuits subregion of Burgundy, with Pinot noir as the main grape variety. The AOC was created in 1936. It is shared between the two communes of Chambolle-Musigny (where the main part is located) and Morey-Saint-Denis in the Côte-d'Or département. Bonnes Mares is located a little to the north of the Chambolle-Musigny village, and borders the Route des Grands Crus in the east and the Grand Cru vineyard Clos de Tart in the north.

The origin of the vineyard's name is unknown, although it is known to have been used since the High Medieval period, and at least three different hypotheses exist. The most commonly prevailing assumption is that it may come from the bonnes mères ("good mothers"), nuns of the Cistercian order at Notre-Dame de Tart. A second hypothesis holds that it originates in the verb marer, to cultivate, which would give a translation of "good vintage". The third hypothesis, favored by the Drouhin family, is based on the myth of a winegrower who is said to have unearthed in this vineyard a sculpture representing three goddesses of fecundity, the bonnes mères.

Vinous 91-93 

The 2020 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has a very tight nose at first opening with black cherries iodine peony and inky scents. Quintessentially Bonnes Mares. The palate is quite dense on the entry slightly lactic in texture with hints of dark chocolate infusing the dark berry fruit the finish structured and more Morey-like in style. This will need a decade in bottle. (Drink between 2030-2050)
