Domaine Bonneau du Martray is the largest owner of Corton-Charlemagne with 9 contiguous hectares - a third of the entire appellation - at Pernand-Vergelesses. The 2006 is a warm, mature vintage in Burgundy: the Corton-Charlemagne develops opulent tones of citrus, hazelnut and cinnamon over an austere, crystalline minerality.

Insight
Get to know the wine
Bonneau du Martray's Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2006 comes from the 9 hectares of contiguous property on the Montagne de Corton at Pernand-Vergelesses, west-facing, with vines of average age 40-50 years. Biodynamics across the whole domaine since 2004.
Vinification: pressing, alcoholic fermentation in vat/cask, then 15 months of ageing in Burgundian futs (30% new) with small fractions in concrete and stoneware eggs. Bottling without aggressive interventions.
The 2006 in Burgundy was a warm, generous vintage: Bonneau du Martray's Corton-Charlemagne expresses in this vintage an opulent, already splendidly evolved character.
Candied citrus, hazelnut and cinnamon over a mineral, taut palate. A wine at its peak, to be drunk now and through 2030.
Sommelier's note
“"Golden yellow with amber reflections. Aromas of citrus, peach and honeysuckle evolving towards hazelnut, sweet spices and cinnamon. Soft, mineral palate, full and rich with remarkable persistence. A mature, complex Corton-Charlemagne, at an expressive peak. Ideal now, to be drunk within 2030."”

Full, rich structure, with a soft texture but sustained by a strong mineral component. A long, persistent finish, with balance between opulence and acid tension.
