As I wrote earlier this year, Bonneau du Martray's 2020 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru unwinds in the glass with aromas of crisp Anjou pear, peach and nectarine mingled with white flowers, clear honey, nutmeg, mint and...

The very complex nose of flint, dried pear, Amalfi lemon and fresh ginger pulls you inexorably into this super focused and racy Corton-Charlemagne that is still tightly wound. Wonderful silky texture at the very long...

The newest vintage of Bonneau du Martray points the direction the estate will now chart. This is an imperious wine, powerful, concentrated, and richly aromatic. Pronounced butter and baking spice aromas from the cask...

The ripe apple and spice of the initial attack seemed almost monolithic at first glance, but with time (and food), this wine took on surprising nuance and depth, with floral, mineral, and spice aromas developing with...

(91-94 points) Subtle wood influence easily allows the ripe and very earthy cassis, spice and black raspberry aromas to be appreciated. The rich, full-bodied and enveloping middle weight plus flavors possess a suave yet...

(90-93 points) A slightly more generous dash of wood influence can be found on the liqueur-like aromas of plum, cherry, spice and newly turned earth. There is fine delineation to the large-scaled and equally muscular...

(90-92 points) The 2017 Aloxe-Corton Les Vercots 1er Cru has a clean and precise, quite floral bouquet with hints of iris petal developing in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain, saturated tannin, a...

Medium ruby. A nicely elegant, moderately earthy, fresh and quite aromatically complex nose that is decidedly riper than any of the preceding wines leads to denser, richer, fuller and more muscular flavors and a sweet and...

A pretty and restrained nose grudgingly displays notes of poached plum, black raspberry, earth and subtle spice nuances. The supple, round and easy-going middle weight flavors exhibit a touch of rusticity on the...

(90-93 points) A slightly more generous dash of wood influence can be found on the liqueur-like aromas of plum, cherry, spice and newly turned earth. There is fine delineation to the large-scaled and equally muscular...

(92-95 points) Clear bright fresh purple. Light clay, red coloured on top of hard Corton limestone. Lively deep plums and some dark raspberry, very slinky and seductive with some black fruit on the palate, but retains a...

This intense red combines power and grace, with a salty undertone to its black cherry, black currant, sandalwood and vanilla flavors. Ripe and rich, with licorice and mineral elements seeping in on the protracted finish...

A completely different aromatic profile is present on the aromas of leather, the sauvage, humus and an array of red and dark currant. The succulent round and solidly concentrated flavors exude a subtle minerality, all...

(94-96 points) Fine bright lemon and lime colour. The nose is rather toastier, doubtless the barrel speaking, but in an attractive form. A faint reduction. An excellent solid volume here, with density and the vivacious...

There is much better freshness to the ripe aromas of black cherry liqueur, warm earth and discreet sauvage nuances. There is very good concentration to the solidly voluminous and powerful medium weight plus flavors that...

An intense, powerful white saturated with lime blossom, lemon meringue pie, butterscotch and apple tart aromas and flavors. Complex and balanced, with a terrific mineral- and spice-tinged aftertaste. Shows fine aging...

(91-93 points) A more elegant nose features notes of spiced red berries with background whiffs of the sauvage and freshly turned earth. The middle weight flavors are not super dense yet there is a lovely sense of harmony...

(93-95) Very, very generous wood treatment is sufficiently toasty to presently dominate the otherwise layered nose of dark cherry, raspberry, earth and sauvage-inflected aromas. There is superb concentration, power and...

A classic Corton-Charlemagne with lifted floral notes and toasted nuts adding to the wine's complex flavour profile. Wonderful depth and weight with a long finish.

A highly restrained nose features notes of cool and ultra-pure citrus, green apple, white flowers, herbal tea and wet stone. There is a distinctly racy mouth feel to the super intense and well-delineated medium weight...

Again, this possesses slightly better freshness with its hints of poached, if not stewed, plum, spice and earth. There is much, much better freshness and energy to the dense and more voluminous bigger-bodied flavors that...
