96 / 100"The 2021 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is brilliant, exhibiting inviting aromas of cherries and raspberries mingled with rose petals, rich spices and vine smoke, followed by a full-bodied, ample and multidimensional palate that's richly layered, underpinned by powdery tannins and lively acids.

"Firm reduction pushes the fruit to the background. More interesting are the dense, power and palate staining big-bodied and powerful flavors that are shaped by sleek fine-grained tannins on the moderately austere and impressive long finish. As is typically the case, this is really quite serious and compact, but the balance is impeccable, and this should age gracefully over the mid- to long-term. - Allen Meadows"

"The 2021 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru was one of the first vineyards picked on 25 September and was made with 70% whole clusters. It is quite stemmy on the nose to the point where it slightly occludes the terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, rather complex but I hope that racking will provide more flesh and fruité on the finish to counterbalance the stems. I am more taken with the Clos de la Roche this year."
