The 2019 Domaine Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne is a Chardonnay from the esteemed Burgundy region of France, specifically the Cote de Beaune sub-region within the Aloxe Corton appellation. This wine, produced by Domaine Bonneau du Martray, is a white wine with an alcohol content of 13.5%.

The wine has received high praise from several notable reviewers. Decanter awarded it an impressive score of 98, noting that this vintage is particularly significant for the estate. The review highlights the wine's "powerful, concentrated, and richly aromatic" profile. Aromas of butter and baking spices from cask aging complement the ripe apple fruit, creating a complex bouquet. Decanter remarks on the wine's lively texture, balancing density and abundant acidity. Despite the heat of the year, the wine maintains a surprising freshness and moderate alcohol level. Importantly, Decanter suggests that with time, the wine's substantial oak presence will integrate, allowing subtler mineral notes to emerge.

Jasper Morris of Inside Burgundy gave the wine a score of 96, describing it as having "one of the most classical Corton-Charlemagne bouquets" of his tasting. He notes the presence of fresh apple and stone aromas, with a light touch of oak. On the palate, the wine develops impressively, showing significant depth and a harmonious balance. Morris places this wine just behind two five-star wines in his ranking.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate rated the wine at 95+, praising its harmony and precision. The review describes the wine as exhibiting aromas of sweet orchard fruits, citrus pith, nutmeg, spices, honey, and oatmeal. It is characterized as medium to full-bodied, with a satiny texture and excellent concentration. The structuring extract is chalky, and the finish is long and vibrant. The review concludes by calling it a "very classy, beautifully balanced wine that is built to age with grace."

Overall, the 2019 Domaine Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne is a highly acclaimed Chardonnay, noted for its aromatic complexity, balance, and potential for aging.
