Clair Dau Bonnes Mares Grand Cru 1978 is a mature red from France’s Burgundy, sourced from the Bonnes Mares Grand Cru terroir. In this late-1970s vintage, extended bottle age is the defining feature: expect tertiary complexity rather than primary fruit, with savoury, sous-bois nuances, dried rose, game, tea leaf and truffle notes, and a palate shaped by softened tannins and gentle, lingering acidity. Production details for this bottling are not consistently documented in globally recognised reference sources, so we avoid speculation regarding cépage, élevage, or specific vineyard practice. What can be stated with confidence is that Bonnes Mares is celebrated for delivering structure allied to aromatic finesse, and 1978 has entered its fully evolved phase. For collectors seeking authenticity and nuance, Clair Dau Bonnes Mares Grand Cru offers a rare opportunity to explore Grand Cru Burgundy at peak maturity. |
