The 2020 Domaine Denis Mortet Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is a highly anticipated Pinot Noir from Burgundy. Neal Martin of Vinous rated it 95 points, noting a hauntingly pure bouquet with crushed violets infusing a mélange of red and black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, surprisingly strict and linear towards the finish, suggesting it will benefit from plenty of bottle age, with an anticipated maturity of 2030-2060. Robert Parker also gave it 95 points, describing a striking wine that unfurls with aromas of pomegranate and red cherries mingled with sweet spices, rose petals, and blood orange. It is full-bodied, layered, and multidimensional, with deep concentration, lively acids, melting tannins, and a long, perfumed finish. Jasper Morris of Inside Burgundy awarded 94-97 points, highlighting a denser purple color, an explosion of ripe wild dark fruits, a little chocolate note, and dark fruit all the way through, with just enough acidity, certainly long and fine, and thorough and satisfying spices. This wine is crafted with 50% whole bunch vinification and 60% new wood. 【Hauntingly pure bouquet with crushed violets and exceptional aging potential】. It is a rich, fleshy, full-bodied wine with powerful tannin textures, violet and underbrush aromas, and dark berry flavors. Food Pairing: This robust Pinot Noir pairs exceptionally well with roasted game meats, wine-based sauces, meat stews, roasted duck breast, and strong cheeses. Event Suggestions: Given its youth and immense aging potential, this wine is ideal for a serious collector's cellar, a future milestone celebration, or a vertical tasting of Grand Cru Burgundies. It's a wine to be laid down and enjoyed in decades to come.
