Fabulous structure and balance with a great diversity of flavours. This wine has notes of buttery toast, slate and lemon curd. Bright lemons with a wonderful acid drive, hint of spice and brine. Domaine Bonneau du Martray is a Burgundian wine producer based in Pernand-Vergelesses. Bonneau du Martray is dedicated to the production of two grand crus: Corton and Corton-Charlemagne. It is the only estate in Burgundy to make wines exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards.

The 2016 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is showing superbly from bottle, unwinding in the glass with a classy bouquet of crisp green apple, pears, almond paste, fresh pastry and Meyer lemon. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, concentrated and precise, with serious depth, tangy acidity, and chewy structuring dry extract while remaining elegantly textural. Intense and complete, its an immensely promising wine which augers well for Bonneau du Martrays future.

The 2016 Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru, matured in 30% new oak, has moderate intensity on the nose, scents of citrus peel, beeswax and honeysuckle, a hint of jasmine. The palate is medium-bodied with fresh lime, green apple, a dab of spice that hits the back palate and lingers on the aftertaste. Moderate length. It just misses the sustain toward the finish and hurries out of the exit a little swiftly. The irony is that as I mentioned in my introduction, some of the single-parcel barrel samples I was permitted to taste were in fact better than the blend, simply because they sang more of what Corton-Charlemagne ought to be. It is not a bad Corton-Charlemagne and yet it left me wanting more.
