Critics Ratings

'An outstanding, potentially exceptional wine, the ruby-colored 2002 Bonnes Mares (total production is 150 cases) bursts forth with a magnificent nose of candied cherries, roses, and ripe raspberries. Medium to full-bodied, its harmonious character is wonderfully sweet, seductive, and sexy. Satin-textured, it offers a myriad of pure, edge free red fruit flavors in its long, refined character.' - Pierre Rovani, Wine Advocate, 92-94/100 (Jun 2004)

'Ultra elegant and high-toned red and black fruit aromas cut with obvious earth notes are followed by rich, full-bodied flavors that are sappy yet edgy, all culminating in a powerful and punchy finish. The aspect that impresses me the most however is the impeccable balance. In short, a gorgeous wine.' - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 92/100 (Jan 2005)
