Bonneau du Martray

Jean-Charles Le Bault de la Moriniere took over this famous property in 1994. The modern day Domaine covers just over 11 hectares, 9.5h of which are planted to Chardonnay for the Corton-Charlemagne. Unusually, the domaine is all one continuous plot, located on the Pernand side of the Corton hill, and the average vine age is 45 years. For its quality level this is something of a Burgundian bargain. It tastes fantastic young and old, and shows super complexity.

Wines from Bonneau du Martray

Producer: Bonneau du Martray
Wine: Corton Charlemagne 1995
Appellation: Aloxe Corton Sub-region: Cote de Beaune
Region: Burgundy Country: France
Grape: Chardonnay
Tasting notes: The palate is fat and concentrated showing real complexity and super acidity. The finish is reminiscent of fresh, wild strawberries. This wine will last a very long time - and will be super. (The Burgundy Report 2004)

I was bowled-over by the quality of the 1995 Corton-Charlemagne, it is certainly the finest wine I have tasted from this famous estate. Beguiling aromas of red berries, vanilla, and traces of coconut are followed by a powerful punch of concentrated, extracted, and intense flavors. This gorgeous medium-to-full-bodied wine has a tightly wound "nugget" of red currants, almonds, hazelnuts, pears, and minerals in its silky-textured, extremely well-balanced, and admirably long character. It should be at its peak between 2002 and 2010. Bravo! 93pts RP

Wine: Corton Charlemagne 2004
Appellation: Aloxe Corton Sub-region: Cote de Beaune
Region: Burgundy Country: France
Grape: Chardonnay
Tasting notes: 93 points Wine Spectator: "A focused beam, this white wraps its lime, mineral, apple and vanilla notes around a core of bracing acidity. Has intensity and balance, yet this is firm and crisp on the finish for now, with real stony length. Best from 2010 through 2030."

Producer: Bonneau du Martray
Wine: Corton Charlemagne 2006
Appellation: Aloxe Corton Sub-region: Cote de Beaune
Region: Burgundy Country: France
Grape: Chardonnay
Tasting notes: Scents of fresh lime, heliotrope and white peach usher in a subtly-creamy yet persistently bright and juicy display of continued citrus, peach, and inner-mouth floral notes. Airy and elegant, this finishes almost delicately but tenaciously. 93/94 pts RP - WA
