White Wine: 1989 | Domaine Bonneau du Martray | Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru

The 1989 Corton-Charlemagne from Bonneau du Martray is fully into its apogee of peak maturity and drinking very nicely indeed. The lovely, mature nose offers up some tertiary elements in its mix of pear, apple, candied lemon, chalky soil tones, crème patissière, a touch of almond and a discreet foundation of vanillin oak.

Detailed Description

The 1989 Corton-Charlemagne from Bonneau du Martray is fully into its apogee of peak maturity and drinking very nicely indeed. The lovely, mature nose offers up some tertiary elements in its mix of pear, apple, candied lemon, chalky soil tones, crème patissière, a touch of almond and a discreet foundation of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and synthesizes the ripe fruit of the vintage beautifully with a lovely base of limestone minerality. The finish is long and zesty, with fine focus, grip and mineral drive.

Producer InformationDomaine Bonneau du Martray is a Burgundian wine producer based in Pernand-Vergelesses. Bonneau du Martray is dedicated to the production of two grand crus: Corton and Corton-Charlemagne. It is the only estate in Burgundy to make wines exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards.Estate-owned vineyads are all located in a single parcel on the famous Corton hill. The 23.5 acre (9.5ha) parcel of Chardonnay is the largest single holding in the Grand Cru. This Corton-Charlemagne produced from here by the estate is widely regarded as one of the greatest white wines made from Chardonnay in Burgundy. The other 3.7 acres (1.5ha) plot is planted to Pinot Noir for said Corton. These wines have been domaine bottled since 1969.In the winery, fermentations are seperated according to the vineyard block that the grapes are sourced from. All fermentations are spontaneous with no innoculations or commercial yeasts utilized. Up to 30-percent new oak is for 12 months of barrel maturation prior to a further 6 months of ageing in tanks. Wines are lightly filtered prior to bottling.
