Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru 2019 - Burgundy
Bottle size: 750ml
Out of Stock
The Charlemagne climate, the historical heart of the Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru appellation harmoniously rounds off the hill of Corton on its western side. The vines facing west are exposed to the sun from mid-morning until sunset, a unique feature in Burgundy. The air circulation caused by the neighbouring hills ventilates the vineyard and preserves the freshness of the grapes.
Bonneau du Martray's vineyard run from top to bottom of the hill, where the thickness of the clays, silts, marls and different types of limestone make up a mosaic of soil with very different requirements and results: the parcels at the foot of the forest on the top of the hill give the wine a crystalline appearance, with floral and citrus fruit notes. The vines in the heart of the hill structure the wine and bring grain to it, while the parcels at the bottom of the hill, richer in minerals, bring the power of Charlemagne. The composition of this unique Bonneau du Martray cuvée reflects the complexity and richness of this great terroir, the most authentic representation of Charlemagne's terroir.
Our notes
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. (97) WILLIAM KELLEY, Wine Advocate
The 2019 Bonneau du Martray Corton-Charlemagne was picked between 12th and 18th September. For Winemaker Emmanuel Hautus, it comes across as a blend between 2015 and 2017. It will be bottled in May. Quite a pronounced primrose colour. The former vintage shows in a slight oiliness on the nose and sweeter, richer yellow fruit on top whereas the 2017 comparison can be seen in the crystalline underlay. There is a light salinity to finish, with white flowers and the lightest dusting of coconut (97) JASPER MORRIS MW
Reviews
Producers notes
The forested mop-top of the hill of Corton is often the first recognizable Burgundian feature that comes into view as you approach the region from the East. It is from this hill that the finest white wines in the Côte de Nuits are found and there is no producer held in higher esteem than Bonneau du Martray. The estate covers just over 11 hectares with 9.5 hectares in Corton-Charlemagne and the remainder Corton. Their biodynamically run vineyards produce the appellations finest wines with amazing purity, precision and line and their lineage and pedigree in the cellar is without peer.
