Bonnes Mares Grand Cru Maison Castagnier Jerome, 2022

Bonnes Mares is one of Burgundy’s most prized Grand Cru vineyards, and this 2022 bottling from Maison Castagnier Jerome offers a rare chance to experience its signature depth and finesse. Sourced from a site celebrated for producing powerful yet refined Pinot Noir, it combines pedigree, intensity, and classic Côte de Nuits character in one bottle.

Tasting Notes
Expect a vibrant ruby color with remarkable clarity and brightness in the glass. The nose typically opens with layered red and dark berries, wild cherry, violet, subtle spice, and finely woven earthy notes, while the palate brings concentration, precision, and a firm mineral backbone. As a Grand Cru from a strong vintage, it should have excellent aging potential, developing more complexity with time in bottle. With age, the wine is likely to gain greater silkiness, deeper savory nuance, and the kind of elegant persistence that makes Bonnes Mares so sought after.

Production
Bonnes Mares lies on the upper slopes of Chambolle-Musigny, where varied soils of limestone, clay, and marl contribute to the vineyard’s balance of power and refinement. In 2022, the fruit was likely harvested by hand to preserve quality and selected carefully before vinification. Production would typically emphasize gentle extraction and élevage in oak to support structure without obscuring the vineyard’s purity.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with fine dishes such as duck breast, roast pigeon, lamb, truffle risotto, mushroom-based plates, or game birds. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decanting for 1–2 hours is recommended if drinking young to help the wine open up and show its full aromatic range.

Producer
Maison Castagnier Jerome is a Burgundy producer associated with wines that reflect the region’s focus on terroir expression and traditional craftsmanship.
