Domaine Bonneau du Martray is a highly regarded wine producer located in Pernand-Vergelesses, in the Côte de Beaune. The estate has a long history, dating back to the Roman era, and is currently owned by American businessman Stanley Kroenke, whose portfolio also includes Screaming Eagle in Napa Valley. It is the only estate in Burgundy to make wines exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards, Corton and Corton-Charlemagne. The 2011 vintage in Burgundy was characterized by a relatively early harvest, with good ripening conditions for the grapes.
- The 2011 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru was served blind at a dinner in Bordeaux. This has always been a fine vintage from the estate, although it has lost a little vigor since my last encounter. The nose is quite strict, offering scents of lemon verbena, red apples and a touch of orange pith, and not as flinty as I found in its youth. The palate is well balanced and delivers the weight one expects from a Corton-Charlemagne, though you could argue it does not quite deliver the complexity of the greatest vintages on the finish. Pretty, but maybe it just lacks a little personality. I think decanting for 2–3 hours would have benefited this wine. Tasted blind in Bordeaux. - The 2011 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru was served blind at a dinner in Bordeaux.
