2011 Bonnes Mares, Grand Cru, Domaine de la Vougeraie, Burgundy

There is beautifully sensual fruit on the nose of this Bonnes Mares, with neither the new oak (60%) nor whole bunch fermentation (50%) apparent. It has a wonderful seamless texture that is coated in velvet and it is gracious and very long. The wine is a great success this year.
Jasper Morris MW, Burgundy Wine Director

Pierre Vincent’s reputation has been blossoming over the last few vintages, as critic’s rate his wines increasingly highly and repeated success at the International Wine Challenge has been rewarded with the Len Evans Trophy for consistency over 5 years. Pierre is looking to major on delicacy while building persistence, to which end the new oak component is being reduced and the whole bunch fermentation percentage increased.
