Corton-Charlemagne Bonneau du Martray 1996 is a Grand Cru Chardonnay from the prestigious hillside of Corton, known for its mineral-rich soils. This vintage reveals a complex bouquet of citrus fruits, subtle oak and hints of spice. On the palate, it presents a notable weight, supported by a refreshing acidity that ensures structure without overwhelming heaviness. The finish is long, with an intricate interplay of fruit and minerality.

The 1996 Corton-Charlemagne promises to be a spectacular wine. Floral, mineral, and hazelnut scents give way to a powerful, concentrated, medium-to-full-bodied, silky-textured, and extracted personality. Highly-focused and delineated flavors of minerals, stones, gravel, and traces of tangy candied lemons are found in this lovely offering. Anticipated maturity. 2003-2010. The score, noted on a range and in parentheses, indicates that the wine was tasted from barrel. - Pierre Rovani
