Domaine Evenstad
Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru 2022
75cl bottle
Tasting notes
An exceptionally rich and profound wine. Its nose reveals intense amoras of red berries, as well as notes of spices. Its velvety texture encapsulates a strong tannic structure, leading to a remarkably long and palatable finish. The intensity, freshness and balance of this wine give it a great ageing potential.
The Vineyard
Between Morey-Saint-Denis and Chambolle-Musigny, this Climat has been known as Bonnes Mares since the Middle Ages. Its name presumably came from the old French verb “marer”, which means “to cultivate with care”. Its shallow clay-siliceous soil and jurassic subsoil, composed of calcareous plates and white marl, contribute to the elaboration of powerful and structured red wines.
The Vintage
2022 is synonymous with a vintage of great quality and the return of satisfying volumes.
After a mild and dry winter, the growing season arrived early. Spared by the April frost, the warm spring accelerated plant growth, favoring early flowering and optimal fruit set. After particularly dry spells during winter and spring, late June rains were timely. A hot, dry and at times scorching summer allowed for a good ripening, although in places the vines did react to hydric stress.
Mid-August rainfall will be decisive by constant sunshine until the harvests, which started on 25th August in the Côte de Beaune and 2nd September in the Côte de Nuits.
