The Patriarche Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is a remarkable expression of Burgundian terroir, offering a compelling blend of power and refined elegance. This prestigious red wine showcases the incredible depth and aging potential for which this Côte de Nuits Grand Cru appellation is celebrated worldwide.
Founded in 1780, Patriarche is one of Burgundy’s oldest and most significant négociant houses, renowned for its vast, historic cellars beneath the city of Beaune. The house has built a long-standing reputation for sourcing grapes from across the region to produce a wide portfolio of wines. Patriarche is known for creating accessible and classic representations of Burgundy’s most famous appellations, from village-level to Grand Cru.
In the glass, this wine presents a deep ruby hue, hinting at the concentration within. The nose is complex and alluring, revealing layers of dark cherry, blackcurrant, and violet, intertwined with earthy notes of forest floor and subtle spice from oak aging. On the palate, it is full-bodied and well-structured, with firm tannins and a vibrant acidity that carries flavors of red fruit and minerality to a long, persistent finish.
For the optimal experience, serve this wine at a temperature of 16-18°C (60-65°F) after allowing it to breathe. The Patriarche Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru pairs exquisitely with rich dishes such as roasted duck breast, beef bourguignon, or aged, hard cheeses like Comté.
