Introducing the exquisite 2013 Domaine de la Vougeraie Bonnes Mares, a captivating Pinot Noir hailing from the prestigious Burgundy region of France. This red wine is a true testament to the artistry and passion of the renowned producer, Domaine de la Vougeraie.
With a deep, ruby-red hue that shimmers in the glass, the 2013 Bonnes Mares is a visually striking wine that promises a sensory journey like no other. The nose reveals a bouquet of sweet red cherries, intermingled with a touch of kirsch, creating an enchanting aroma that captivates the senses. However, when compared to the Bonnes-Mares from Bruno Clair, it lacks some complexity and fails to fully express the unique mineralité and terroir of the region.
On the palate, this medium-bodied wine showcases ripe red cherries and succulent strawberries, evoking a delightful symphony of flavors that dance harmoniously on the tongue. As the wine develops, a significant structure emerges, gripping the palate with a firm yet refined tannic grasp. While the persistence could be enhanced, the overall experience remains undeniably pleasurable.
Renowned wine critic Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded this exceptional wine a score of 90, praising its finesse and structure. Meanwhile, Vinous awarded it an impressive 93 points, highlighting its intense concentration of fruit and impeccable balance.
The 2013 Domaine de la Vougeraie Bonnes Mares is a testament to the unwavering commitment to quality and excellence that defines this esteemed producer.
