2018 Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru Cote de Nuits, France

DESCRIPTION:

The domaine owns a block of vines accounting for 2.7 hectares and an average production of approximately 420 cases per year.

The vines are located entirely in the Chambolle portion of the vineyard that is closest to the village itself.

This provides for a slightly more elegant Bonnes-Mares, but one that is heavily scented with violet and peony.

The domaine's vines average 29 years old.

Millet started picking on September 9 in order to keep as much as freshness as possible.

The fruit was 100% destemmed.

New oak ranged from 15% for the Chambolle villages to 35-40% for the Bonnes Mares and Musigny Vieilles Vignes.

The malos were on the slow side and for the most part.

GRAPE VARIETY: 100% Pinot Noir
