The story of Domaine Bonneau du Martray
Domaine Bonneau du Martray is a unique domaine in Burgundy: it produces exclusively Grand Cru, from the highest vineyard on the hill of Corton. With 11 hectares in Corton-Charlemagne and Corton, it is the largest owner of Corton-Charlemagne.
Bonneau du Martray's Corton-Charlemagne is a majestic wine: mineral, powerful yet of great finesse, capable of ageing magnificently for decades. The high-altitude exposure and the limestone soils give the wine an incomparable tension and purity.
Since 2017 the domaine has been owned by Stan Kroenke (also the owner of Screaming Eagle in Napa Valley), who has kept the production philosophy intact under the guidance of the resident winemaker.
