Dominique Laurent's Côte de Nuits Grand Cru Bonnes-Mares Grande Cuvée Vieilles Vignes is one of the top 10 Bonnes-Mares wines (based on aggregated critic scores).
Bonnes-Mares is a Grand Cru vineyard in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits region. It mostly lies within Chambolle-Musigny, with a small 1.5 hectare plot in neighboring Morey-Saint-Denis.
Bonnes-Mares is planted entirely to Pinot Noir, making wines that are heavier and more robust than those from Le Musigny, and are capable of being aged for many years.
There are several proposed etymologies for the Bonnes-Mares name. The most widely believed is that it is a reference to the Cistercian Bonnes Meres (good mothers) of the nearby Notre Dame de Tart Abbey. This was the first Cistercian monastery for women, established in 1125, and gives its name to Bonnes-Mares' northern Grand Cru neighbor, Clos de Tart.
