CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
The 2019 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is stellar. I remember this vintage quite well, as I visited the domaine during one of the two brutal heat spikes that punctuated the summer. What a pleasant surprise it is to find the 2019 in this tasting. A superb Burgundy, the 2019 offers a brilliant counterpoint of textural richness and minerality. It s a heady, oily wine, but not overdone. Tropical fruit, exotic white flowers, slate and a kiss of French oak build as the 2019 shows off its racy personality.

The approximate blend of the 2019 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is very promising, offering up notes of orange oil, white flowers, nutmeg and pear, followed by a full-bodied, layered and concentrated palate that's lively and elegantly textural, concluding with a long, penetrating finish. This is a very promising effort from the Domaine Bonneau du Martray team, and I look forward to revisiting the wine in bottle.

From the 2021 vintage, the appellation for this wine will change to Charlemagne. Plenty of apple fruit and matchstick sulphidic reduction, as well as an oxidised edge on the finish that makes it seem a little frayed and worn. The intensity and complexity are of grand cru status, but this particular bottle is perhaps not the freshest. (RH)
