Dominique Laurent Bonnes Mares Vieilles Vignes 2015 (1.5L)

95-97 VM

(these Chambolle-side vines are located near de Vogüé's giant parcel and are nearly 100 years old, according to Laurent): Bright, full red. Knockout nose combines pungent red berries, exotic spices and fresh herbs. A major mouthful of crunchy raspberry and salty minerality, offering a stunning combination of intensity, finesse, definition and subtle soil tones. Finishes classically dry, with palate-staining length and resounding spiciness. A great showing today, but this is built for a long life in bottle. Stephen Tanzer – Vinous Media
