Jean Marie Fourrier - Bonnes Mares Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes 2017

Burghound: "Once again the nose is ultra-fresh if reticent as it requires aggressively swirling to reveal softly earthy and spice aromas of red cherry, raspberry and an interesting smoky hint. The delicious, energetic and solidly powerful middle weight plus flavors terminate in a more complex and beautifully persistent finish is shaped by relatively fine-grained tannins. I would describe this as a refined example of Bonnes Mares though one that will reward longer-term cellaring."

The Wine Advocate: "Fourrier's négociant 2017 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru exhibits aromas of cherries, peonies, cassis and currant leaf, followed by a full-bodied, broad-shouldered palate with good concentration, tangy acids and an ample chassis of fine, chalky tannins that assert themselves on the youthfully firm finish."
