Bonneau du Martray Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2018

97 Points - Decanter

This swooningly seductive wine boasts ripe peach and nectarine aromas with hints of white flowers, spice and honey. The texture is supple and dense but despite the richness of the aromas, there is nothing heavy about the wine, just an intensity on the palate that lengthens out to an impressive finish. The domaine farms more than six hectares of white between the climats of En Charlemagne and Le Charlemagne; with holdings of this size, they are able to take a parcellaire approach and vinify each plot separately for maximum precision to deliver this masterful result.

95 Points - Jasper Morris MW

Pale lemon and lime colour. A vigorous nose with a stony reduction, that allows the fruit to flourish alongside. Some citrus, then a really intense weight of fruit, on the cusp of white and yellow. Very pure, very linear, plenty of energy. Excellent texture on the palate.

94 Points - William Kelley, Wine Advocate

A terrific effort in a vintage that often produced rather open-knit, soft white Burgundies, the 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru continues to perform very well. Mingling aromas of sweet citrus and stone fruits with notions of oatmeal, anise and flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, exhibiting excellent depth at the core and impressive precision. Racy, charming and attractively complete, it stands out from its peers.
