A very ripe, almost red pinot and cassis liqueur-like nose precedes rich, full, sweet and admirably concentrated full-bodied flavors that are at once robust yet elegant, delivering excellent length on the finely balanced finish. This is built to age and should easily last 25 to 30 years and unlike the typical Corton, the tannins here are really quite sophisticated.

Bonneau du Martray is a French wine grower and producer based in Pernand-Vergelesses, in the Cote de Beaune wine-growing region of Burgundy, France.
This is the only estate in Burgundy to exclusively produce wine from Grand cru vineyards.The estate is currently owned and managed by Jean-Charles de la Moriniere who inherited it from his father in 1994. Jean-Charles has been working on moving viticultural management and the care of the vineyard toward a biodynamic philosophy and away from the previous use of herbicides to manage weeds and pests. He has also worked to reduce yields significantly in an effort to improve the intensity and quality of the finished wine.
Only two wines are produced from the vineyard holdings of the domaine: a White Burgundy with Chardonnay grapes and a Red Burgundy with Pinot Noir grapes.
Clive Coates describes Bonneau Du Martray's white Corton-Charlemagne wine as "one of the very greatest in all Burgundy" and Hugh Johnson lists Bonneau du Martray as one of the leading Côte d'Or producers and gives the estate his highest rating of 4 stars indicating "exceptionally fine or great quality, consistent over many vintages".
