Persoonlijke gegevens
Bonneau du Martray is known for producing two wines. A Pinot Noir (Corton Grand Cru) from the historic heart of the Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru appellation. The west-facing vines are exposed to the sun from mid-morning to sunset, a unique feature in Burgundy. The Pinot Noir plots are located at the bottom of the slopes on the clay soils of the hill. They also produce a Chardonnay (Carton-Charlemagne Grand Cru), this Bonneau du Martray vineyard runs from the top to the bottom of the hill, where the thickness of the clay, the silt, the marl and the different types of limestone create a mosaic of form ground. The composition of this unique cuvée from Bonneau du Martray reflects the complexity and richness of this great terroir, the most authentic representation of the terroir of Charlemagne.
The estate's vineyards are mainly located on the Corton Hill, which is home to some of the most exceptional vineyards in Burgundy. Bonneau du Martray follows traditional winemaking techniques, including fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. Bonneau du Martray's commitment to producing high quality wines has earned them a place among the top producers in Burgundy, especially for their Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru.
When the grapes are received, a light crushing of the berries takes place before pressing. This allows for a gentle extraction of the vintage. After settling, fermentation takes place in a combination of new and old French oak barrels. Each barrel is followed with great care until the first rack. At this stage mixing begins. They continue to mature on their fine lees for a second winter. At the end of this period, the wine is racked a second time to separate the remaining lees. It is then moved to tanks for another two months.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | Deze rijpe 1994 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru toont een verfijnd palet van honingraat en gele steenvruchten naast boterachtige citrus en geblancheerde amandelen, met een volle, zijdezachte textuur en frisse, racy zuren die de rijping prachtig in balans houden. Daardoor sluit hij prachtig aan bij gevogelte, witte vis, schelpdieren en kazen: de frisse zuren snijden door rijke, romige sauzen heen en versterken delicate zeevruchten, terwijl de nuance van amandel en boterige tonen goed samengaan met geroosterd of in de pan gebakken gevogelte, op de huid gebakken dorade of kabeljauw, en met licht gebakken coquilles of kreeft in een beurre blanc; ook bij rijpere, niet te krachtige kazen werkt hij heel goed. |

Reviewed by: William Kelley
The 1994 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru was the first vintage produced by Jean-Charles de la Morinière, and this was a challenging year, with thunderstorms at harvest time that "turned" the grapes. The resulting wine is really a very fine achievement for the vintage, unwinding in the glass with a lovely bouquet of honeycomb, yellow orchard fruit, buttered citrus and blanched almonds. On the palate, it's full-bodied, supple and elegantly textural, with racy acids and fine balance. This doesn't have the concentration or searing structure of the best vintages, but it's an immensely charming wine that is drinking well today, and it numbers among the high points of the year.

This producer has a rich history that goes back several centuries. It was founded in 1775 by Nicolas Rolin, chancellor of the Duke of Burgundy, and was originally called "Domaine Bonneau". The "du Martray" part of the name was added in the 19th century when the estate was acquired by the Martray family.
