Bertheau's 2015s are absolutely stunning.
As always, the Bonnes-Mares represents one of the high points of Bertheau's 2015 lineup.
Bertheau produces one of my favorite examples of Bonnes-Mares. It offers up the Grand Cru's muscle along with a really impressive degree of finesse and agility. I'm very happy to have another opportunity to offer the absolutely beautiful 2015 Bonnes-Mares.

Burghound: "Interestingly there is also a touch of sandalwood present here as well on the much more restrained nose of ripe red currant, earth, underbrush and a hint of the sauvage. As one would expect there is more volume, power and intensity to the relatively concentrated medium-bodied flavors that are shaped by moderately firm tannins on the beautifully persistent finish. This too would best be allowed at least 5 to 7 years of cellaring and should reward as many as 10 to 15. This too is very, very impressive."
