Domaine Bertheau, Bonnes Mares 2004

The Bonnes Mares 2004 from Bertheau is quite mature and almost ready to rock. The bouquet starts out with a hint of iodine – but after a few minutes the nose reveals openly knit red berry fruit, sous bois and a finely grained minerality. The palate show more expressive fruit – openly knit red fruit with a strong backbone of quite vibrant acidity and playful minerality. Compared to the 04 Bonnes Mares from Roumier this is slightly lighter, and it does not quite match the purity of the Roumier. This wine is however more forward and expressive and without the slight austerity found in the Roumiers 04 – two very different wines – but quite evenly matched. Bottom line – a lovely Bonnes Mares from Bertheau – and a very impressive effort for the vintage.
