Domaine Bruno Clair Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru 2022 is crafted from Pinot Noir grown on 1.6413 hectares planted between 1946 and 1980. The vineyard lies at 280 m altitude on clay-limestone soils with limestone containing entroques and Ostrea acuminata marls, facing south-east. Vinification involves 30–50% whole bunches and 10–15 days maceration in wooden vats, followed by 18–20 months ageing in oak barrels, about 45% new. This Grand Cru shows a very deep red robe and reveals scents of sweet red berries, rose petals, Indian spices, plums and vine smoke. On the palate, it’s powerful, complex and remarkably long.

Wine Advocate
The 2022 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is beautiful, wafting from the glass with scents of sweet red berries, rose petals, Indian spices, plums and vine smoke. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless, it's bright and pure, with melting tannins and a long, mouthwatering finish. The Clairs have begun experimenting with grafting over their vines in this climat, beginning with 150, to superior quality vine genetics.
