### 2014 Domaine Denis Mortet Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru

BY NEAL MARTIN | JUNE 27, 2022

The **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 2022-2048.
