    August 17, 2021 - Carafé 3 heures avant de servir afin qu’il puisse se livrer un peu, des notes de fruits noirs, terreux, épicé, plusieurs couches d’arômes au nez tout comme en bouche qui malgré la jeunesse est fort approchable, puissante mais avec une belle fraîcheur et quelle classe, superbe texture en bouche, beaucoup de vin dans cette bouteille, longueur impressionnante aussi. 94-95

    Decanted 3 hours, dark fruit, spices, earthy, multiple layers of aromas and flavors on the palate too, powerful but fresh, classy and with depth and an amazing texture on the palate, quite an impressive length too.

    April 17, 2021 - Quite elegant and subtle wine but yet fails to deliver at the level of the pedigree and price. Not sure if we had this too young but definitely was not singing . To be frank this is is a bit disappointed like seeing your top performing child get a B in maths feeling rather than a poor wine but still wanted so much more. 92

    January 9, 2021 - A lot softer and evolved than we expected given its a Bonnes Mares and frankly its in a great time in its life now . Round and soft, silky , soft secondary feel and has an elegance worthy of its grand cru status. Really an impressive wine and a solid 93. Still a lot of life here too

    April 6, 2018 - Un vin d'une grande complexité qui évolue favorablement sur 2 jours. Le 1er soir, il est très délicat, voire un peu fermé. Il déploie ses ailes en cours de soirée et davantage le lendemain où il dévoile sa race: un grand vin d'un millésime inégal, soyeux et puissant à la fois.

    February 25, 2018 - 2010 Lafarge Beaune-Grèves vs 2006 B Clair Bonnes Mares:
    - Farbe: Kaum ein Unterschied zu erkennen. Beide blutrot, mittel-konzentriert.
    - Lafarge mit typischer PN-Nase (Kirsche?). Clair weniger intensive Nase, weniger Frucht.
    - Lafarge ist ein toller Wein. Wenig Tannine. Holz balanciert toll die Säure aus. Spannende Frucht. Interessant!
    - Clair hat stärkere Tannine und insgesamt mehr Volumen. Auch ein toller Wein, ganz anders. Kommt allerdings an Anne Gros für mich heute abend nicht dran.
    - Unentschieden, weil auch kaum zu vergleichende Weine.
