98 Points - James Suckling
This great Bonnes Mares starts cool and restrained, but expands rapidly as it moves over the palate, with delicate, spicy almond and cream character. Mouth-filling and generous yet subtle and light-footed, this is at the top of its game.

97 Points - Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
Made from three separate cuvées, then blended. A rich mid-purple with a deliciously heady bouquet, showcasing the sumptuous side of dark raspberry with perfumed precision. Beneath this, there are redder fruit layers with hints of white flowers.

Tasting a selection of barrels from different parts of Bonnes Mares, the southern end showed results that were supple and elegant, with a more refined, graceful style. The wine’s complexity and the harmonious integration of fruit and tannins make it particularly promising.

95 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru opens with aromas of cherries and raspberries mingled with exotic notes and sweet forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy, it’s concentrated and textural, with nicely integrated tannins, lively acids, and a long, saline, rose-inflected finish. Its more sensual style marks an exciting evolution.
