Corton Charlemagne, Domaine Bonneau du Martray 2006

The '06 is more obviously riper than the '07 with a complex, ripe and elegant mix of green apple,spice and minerality that complements perfectly the round, rich, detailed and stony flavors that possess ample mid-palate fatand superb depth of material, all wrapped in a gorgeously long and drenching finish. A study in harmony and grace thatshould also age well for years. 2014+

A whiff of chalk dust, along with a vanilla note, introduces this intense white. Flavors of peach, grapefruit and oak spice persist through the finish, with a mineral streak. Powerful and balanced, with a lingering aftertaste. Best from 2011 through 2024.-

The '06 is more obviously floral in aromatic character than the '05 with a complex, ripe and elegant mix of green apple, spice and minerality that complements perfectly the round, rich, detailed and stony flavors that possess ample mid-palate fat and superb depth of material, all wrapped in a gorgeously long and palate staining finish. A study in harmony and grace.
