Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, December 2021

(94-97 points) The analysis looks perfectly balanced at 13.35% alcohol and pH 3.15. This has been racked but not sulphured since the harvest. Primrose colour, the nose shows a little heaviness and needs freshening up...

The 2020 Domaine Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne is a paragon of Chardonnay, originating from the prestigious vineyards of Burgundy, France. The magic of this wine begins in the sub-region of Cote de Beaune, specifically within the Aloxe Corton appellation, renowned for its splendid terroir and venerated wine-making traditions. This fine specimen hails from the celebrated sub-appellation of Corton Charlemagne, a prized location for top-tier Chardonnay.

From the expert hands of the producer Domaine Bonneau du Martray, this wine is a testament to their commitment to quality and the expression of the unique characteristics of the region. While the wine is still young, it's already showing signs of the complexity and depth that will continue to develop with age.

This Chardonnay is a stunning, radiant white, reminiscent of the sun-dappled vineyards it hails from. On the nose, it presents a bouquet of white flowers, crisp apple, and a hint of citrus. On the palate, a symphony of flavors unfolds, revealing notes of ripe pear, a touch of vanilla, and a whisper of buttery brioche. There is a harmonious balance between the rich fruit flavors and the wine's vibrant acidity, leading to a long, elegant finish.

The 2020 Domaine Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne doesn't merely reflect its provenance; it sings of its origins, delivering a tasting experience that is quintessentially Burgundian. This is a wine that will truly shine alongside sophisticated dishes, or simply enjoyed on its own, making it a fabulous addition to any discerning wine enthusiast's collection.
