lilac and rose petal along with hints of Granny Smith apples and lemongrass

though it is already very classy

unless you're young

balanced and refreshingly dry finale

Francois Bertheau, Bonnes Mares other_regions_australia lilac and rose petal along(from a . 34 ha parcel located in 100% terres rouges). A background hint of wood easily allows the cool and equally pure essence of red currant, plum and violet scents to be appreciated. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the tautly muscular flavors that are also shaped by relatively fine grained tannins on the balanced and lingering finale. This is a Bonnes Mares of refinement and finesse that should age well on a base of balance.
