RP95 “The 2008 Bonnes Mares is totally mesmerizing, seductive and haunting; in essence it has all of the qualities that make Burgundy so endlessly fascinating. Soft and ethereal on the palate, the Bonnes Mares exudes tons of vintage character in its perfumed dark fruit. The wine literally floats on the palate all the way through to the eternal finish. This is a dazzling effort” AG for TWA May 2011

Antonio Galloni for RobertParker.com writes, “With each passing year Frederic Mugnier has let up on the reigns of winemaking and allowed the vintage to take center stage. His wines now reflect the unique qualities of each harvest to an exacting degree. Mugnier describes the 2009s as rich, powerful and exceptionally dense wines that will be at their most exciting in several decades time, or as Mugnier says with his typically dry sense of humor when hes no longer around. Today the 2008s appear to have more finesse and silkiness. This will be a fascinating vintage to follow here.” Published: May 01, 2011
