Domaine de la Vougeraie, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru, 2006
This is the top of the Côte de Nuits, full stop — Bonnes Mares is one of Burgundy's great grand crus, and Domaine de la Vougeraie farms a coveted parcel of it biodynamically (organic from its 1999 founding, with biodynamics begun in 2001, on the leading edge of the movement). The vines run from over a century old to younger plantings, on an east-facing slice partly sheltered by an old quarry's rock, which gives the wine its trademark mix of muscle and grace. Bonnes Mares is the burliest of the Chambolle-area grand crus, and 2006 is now a fully mature vintage — this is drinking in its sweet spot, with the savory, secondary character that only time gives Pinot Noir. Decant it, give it a proper glass, and treat it like the occasion bottle it is. If you have more, they'll hold.
