Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2001

The 2000 Corton-Charlemagne has an enormously appealing nose of pears and apples. Light to medium-bodied, it expands on the palate, revealing citrus, quartz, and mineral flavors. This wine is extremely focused, with outstanding grip and a highly delineated character, yet it also possesses an impressively vinous trait. It is refined, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2015.

Shame on me! I vastly under-rated this estate's 2000 Corton-Charlemagne in my barrel assessment a year ago (originally scored 88-90). The finest wine I've ever tasted from this famed domaine, it reveals a rich nose of ripe pears, buttered hazelnuts, and minerals. Medium-bodied, lush, intense, and satin-textured, it has exceptional balance, refinement, and a stupendously long finish. While it is not the most powerful Corton-Charlemagne, it has superb focus, detail, and seamlessness. Toast, spices, pears, and ripe apples can be found throughout its complex character. If this wine continues to improve in the bottle as it did in the final months of elevage, it will be completely mind-boggling. Projected maturity: 2005-2016.

Beautiful white Burgundy, incredibly ripe yet very pure and showing lovely mineral character. Some toasted oak, but mostly ripe pear, tropical and lime notes. Full-bodied, it sings on the palate to a long, long juicy and sweet finish. Drink now through 2012. 3,200 cases made. (PM)

About Winery

"Sometimes I wish Bonneau de Martray made more wines, as my tastings with Jean-Charles le Bault de la Moriniere are always much too brief. Readers will find wines of impeccable polish and class at this small domaine tucked in the hillsides of Pernand-Vergelesses."
~ Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate
