The 2018 Domaine Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne is a testament to the elegance and finesse that French Chardonnay can attain. This white wine hails from the prestigious Burgundy region, specifically the Cote de Beaune sub-region and Aloxe Corton appellation in the heart of France. The vintner, Domaine Bonneau du Martray, is renowned for their consistent production of high-quality wines.

As you pour the wine, you'll notice a delightful pale lemon hue. On the nose, it opens up to an array of complex aromas - sweet citrus and stone fruits, mingling with enticing hints of oatmeal, anise, and flowers. As touted by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, this white wine exhibits a medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping palate, showing excellent depth at its core and impressive precision.

The tasting notes also reveal a cool, pure, and elegant nose combining various white fleshy fruit scents, particularly Granny Smith apples and pear, along with hints of citrus and wet stone. Notably, the wine's mineral-driven flavors are intense and rich. The minerality adds a sense of lift to the complex and lengthy finish.

This wine boasts a balanced palate with a fine bead of acidity, hints of orange pith, honeysuckle, and melted candle wax. The result is a charming, racy, and surprisingly complete wine with a slightly toasty finish.

With an alcohol percentage of 13.0, this white wine is not too overpowering, making it a perfect companion to a wide variety of foods. It closes with a traditional cork, preserving the wine's character and quality. The 2018 Domaine Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne is a wine that stands out from its peers, and is sure to impress both novice wine lovers and seasoned oenophiles alike.
