Bonnes-Mares 2005 from François Bertheau is a rare and highly sought-after Grand Cru that emphasises delicacy and purity over sheer force. Bertheau is known for a hands-off winemaking philosophy, involving minimal new oak and no pumping. The 2005 vintage is widely regarded as one of the greatest in Burgundy, providing a perfect balance of ripeness and structural acidity. This wine offers an intoxicating nose of wild strawberries, peonies and limestone dust, with a palate that is surprisingly lithe given the vineyard’s reputation for power. The tannins are fine-grained, leading into a long, mineral-driven finish that speaks of its terroir.
