The 2010 Bonnes-Mares is weightless and elegant. With time in the glass it shows off lovely inner perfume and plenty of grace. The tannins are firm, but also quite refined, showing the proximity to Chambolle, a theme that reappears in the striking aromatics. I especially admire the energy and verve that shapes the finish. This is a hugely inviting wine. Sadly, there is just one 350-liter barrel to go around. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2040. This is an impressive showing from Drouhin. In my view the 2010s are more interesting and transparent than the 2009s. Veronique Drouhin describes 2010 as a vintage with long-term aging potential, which certainly seems to be the case. Some of the wines were vinified with a portion of whole clusters, including the Corton-Bressandes, Petits-Monts, Charmes and Musigny. Importer: Dreyfus Ashby & Co., New York, NY; tel. (212) 818-0770
