Burgundy Insights from the Winehog

Domaine Comte de Vogüé, Bonnes-Mares 2012

By

The Bonnes Mares 2012 from Domaine Comte de Vogüé is currently a walk on the darker side of Chambolle. The bouquet is crammed with layers relatively dark fruit – rich notes of blueberries, elderberries, boysenberries and cassis – powered by a quite intense rather earthy minerality. On the palate layers of rich dark fruit – quite opulent for a Vogüé – but beautifully focused by the deep minerality and the vigorous acidity. A beautiful Bonnes Mares in it’s own right – slightly understated currently – but has plenty of potential. This will be a red soil delight in 20 years or so.
