The 2012 Domaine Bonneau du Martray Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is a classic and age-worthy white Burgundy from one of the appellation’s most iconic producers, showcasing the power and minerality of this historic Grand Cru site. The nose is complex and evolving, with citrus, pear and white orchard fruits layered with almond, floral notes and distinctive flinty minerality.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with impressive density and concentration balanced by vibrant acidity and a strong mineral backbone. The finish is long, dry and precise, with a saline edge and notable persistence. The style is powerful yet refined, built for long aging and complexity over time.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a serious Grand Cru Burgundy for collectors and enthusiasts. While initially structured in youth, it opens beautifully with age and rewards patience. Drink now with decanting or cellar for further development over the next 10–20 years. Ideal with lobster, rich seafood, poultry or truffle dishes.
