Bonnes-Mares 1998 from Domaine Dujac is a legendary Grand Cru red that highlights the Dujac estate’s signature whole-cluster fermentation technique. This winemaking approach adds an unmistakable aromatic lift of rose petals and exotic spices, alongside a structural backbone provided by the stem tannins. The 1998 vintage produced wines of great density and longevity, which Dujac managed through careful extraction and maturation in approximately 80% new French oak barrels. The palate is currently dominated by savoury notes of forest floor, sandalwood and macerated red fruits, with a hint of white pepper. It possesses a textural silkiness that belies its underlying power, a hallmark of the Morey-Saint-Denis side of this famous vineyard.
