Bid on this bottle of 1999 Domaine Louis Jadot Bonnes Mares Grand Cru (96WE, 92BH, 92VN, 92W&S). Wine Enthusiast: "With the superlative 1999 vintage, Louis Jadot, one of the top Burgundy négociants, has been able to produce a deep, dense purple-colored wine. With firm tannins over huge black chocolate and sweet figs and huge layers of acidity, it has great shape and structure, worthy of the vintage. A big, chunky wine with enormous presence, rounded out by the wood. *Cellar Selection* (RV)" (11/2002)

For sheer size and intensity, this is the king of the mountain in 1999 chez Jadot. But it accomplishes this through density of extract and superb concentration yet never loses its fine sense of balance. It offers superb spice and buckets of sappy Pinot extract with penetrating, powerful flavors of surprisingly good precision, given the impressive size of this wine. Classy, long and beautiful. Jadot has been on quite a roll as of late with their Bonnes Mares and this is just one more great example.

Highly nuanced nose combines bitter cherry, rose petal, wild mushroom, marzipan and resiny oak. Silky and seamless but almost painfully young today. A very concentrated, chewy, powerful wine with terrific underlying fruit. Finishes long and subtle, with perfumed fruit outlasting the firm tannins. (ST) 92+
