Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne 2019 (750ML)

95-97 WA / 94-97 JM

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.—William Kelley, The 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. Tasted: January 2021—Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
