According to legend, a farmer discovered in his field a sculpture representing the three goddesses of fecundity whose name was "Bonnes Mères" ("Good Mothers"), hence the name "Bonnes Mares".

"A wine with great breed. Bright, intense ruby-red colour. Complex aromas of Morello cherry ("griotte"), cherrywood, raspberry, and, in some years, a discreet touch of tobacco. As the wine ages, there are notes of truffle and musk. On the palate, a good balance between structure and texture. A remarkably long aftertaste"
