2014 Domaine Denis
Mortet Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru

BY NEAL MARTIN&nbsp;| JUNE 27, 2022The 2014 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru, which is part of a métayage
agreement like the Echézeaux here, was a surprise addition to dinner in
Bordeaux last March. Delightful from start to finish, it is blessed with a
vivid, lively bouquet that leaps from the glass, scents of Morello cherry and
wild strawberry, raspberry and an underlying mineralité. With time in
the glass, subtle floral, peony and iris aromas emerge, albeit not as
pronounced as other Bonnes-Mares. The way this unfolds is delectable. The
palate is taut and fresh, beautifully framed, stylish and pure, with a welcome
touch of piquancy towards the finish. Arnaud Mortet fashioned an irresistible
and complex Bonnes-Mares in 2014. Although I should be telling you to cellar it
for another few years, I would not begrudge anyone cracking open a bottle now. 95/Drink
