Dujac make some of the best wines on the Cote du Nuit. Bonnes Mares is one of the greatest sites in Burgundy.
94 points Allen Meadows - Burghound
A cool, stony and reserved nose features spice, dark and red berry fruit, obvious earth and smoked game influences, all of which continue onto the intensely mineral-infused big-bodied flavors that for all the size and power remain beautifully detailed on the focused, powerful and moderately austere finish. This has wonderful potential and should be one of the longest-lived wines among the Dujac '08s. (1/2011)

Black tea, herbal essences, tar, dried blood, and concentration of tiny black raspberries are suggested on the nose and palate of Dujac’s 2008 Bonnes Mares. For all of its density, this exhibits invigorating primary juiciness, finishing with spirit-lifting, exuberant buoyancy and a nearly indelible paving of berry and herb essences, tar, graphite, and white pepper. This is a terrific ambassador for its vintage – I find it hard to imagine another year in which it could have been grown – and one that should perform admirably for another 12-15 years. (DS) (6/2010)

Good bright, dark red. Slightly reduced nose offers blackberry, huckleberry, mocha and pepper; quite dense and savory. Then sweet and thick in the mouth but with penetrating racy acidity framing the blackberry, menthol and licorice flavors. Quite closed in the middle for all its texture, but the slowly building, very subtle finish suggests that this will reward extended cellaring. Definitely a more glyceral Bonnes-Mares than the 2001 was, notes Seysses. (ST) (3/2011)
Jancis Robinson
Very dark. Amazingly youthful and tightly coiled. Definitely lighter than some vintages with a hint of liquorice even, but a solidity underneath. Lots of fine tannin on the finish and bone dry. Wait! Pretty surly at the moment. 18/20 points. (11/2009)
