Bonnes Mares Grand Cru Maison Castagnier Jerome, 2021

Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is one of Burgundy’s most coveted sites, and Maison Castagnier Jérôme’s 2021 release offers a precise, site-driven expression of this legendary vineyard. From a vintage that demanded patience and careful selection, it brings together Grand Cru depth, elegance, and the refined structure collectors look for in top-tier Burgundy.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, expect a brilliant ruby color with youthful brightness and fine concentration. The nose typically opens with red and dark cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, and subtle spice, alongside earthy and mineral undertones that reflect the Bonnes-Mares terroir. On the palate, this Grand Cru should feel layered and composed, with ripe red fruit, floral lift, savory nuance, and firm yet polished tannins. The finish is long and harmonious, with the tension and structure to reward time in bottle. While approachable with patience, it has strong aging potential and should develop beautifully over the next decade or more.

Production
Bonnes-Mares lies in a highly regarded Grand Cru vineyard in the Côte de Nuits, where limestone and clay soils help produce wines of both power and finesse. The 2021 vintage in Burgundy was marked by challenging weather conditions, making careful vineyard work and selective harvesting especially important. Vinification is typically handled with a focus on preserving purity, terroir expression, and balance, followed by élevage in oak to support structure without overpowering the fruit.

Food & Serving
This wine is an excellent match for dishes that can stand up to its depth and structure, such as roast duck, squab, braised lamb, game birds, or mushroom-based dishes. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if opened young to allow the aromas and texture to fully open.
