Bonnes Mares Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2016
Nice. I have a ‘19 of this in the cellar. Future special event material!
@Tom Casagrande I suspect you’re in for a treat, whenever that bottle gets opened

Batiste Blanc Rum 2015
Found this "Rhum Agricole" from the French Caribbean islands. Very rare in the US. Excellent for p'tit punch. — 10 years ago
Château Les Valentines
Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend
Enjoyed on the beach in St. Barts. The best rose we've had here yet. — 11 years ago
Louis Perdrier
Brut Excellence Sparkling Blend
If this was more expensive, it’d be the toast of Nikki Beach In St Barts. Best sparkling wine for the buck. Delicate, light, sweet on the nose but dry with the perfect amount of carbonation. Almost too easy to drink. — 8 years ago

The Bart family is based in Marsannay and most famous for wines from their own village. However, like many OG families in Burgundy, they often have holdings in other areas. In the case of the Barts, they have holdings in Fixin, and even a couple of Grand Cru vineyards: Clos de Beze and Bonnes Mares. Their holdings in Bonnes Mares amount to a little over two acres that were inherited through the Clair side of the family. The vines are on the Chambolle Musigny side, right next to Comte Georges de Vogüe, and almost half of the vines are over 100 years old.
This bottle was opened sometime prior to dinner by our host. The 2016 pours a ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears and some signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of kirsch, black plum, mixed brambles, musk, red and purple flowers, sous bois and fine warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and the texture is silky; elegant. Every now and again, a wine comes into your life when you least expect it and leaves such an impression that you can’t stop thinking about it. This is one of those wines. I want more of this in my life. Drink now and take your time with it, through 2046+? — 14 days ago
