| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.7 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 40 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Throughthegrapevine on 11/11/2023 & rated 92 points: Amazing acidity and fruit still present at age 32. Delicious (335 views) | | | Tasted by Alex G. on 10/29/2021: Darkest color of all the whites, viscous, "seems old or oxidized" was my assessment at this blind tasting. Drinkable but not spectacular, this wine is past its prime. (1520 views) | | | Tasted by djhammond on 6/24/2021 & rated 95 points: Purchased recently from an impeccable source, this is still drinking at its peak, albeit with probably only another year or two at this level. This was a very slow developer and it has become a vey special wine in the last decade. Everything is integrated and the palate is rounded. Admittedly it has lost some acidity, but the toffee notes and luscious mouthfeel more than compensate, and the finish is still sharp and crisp with residual flavours of apple and lemon zest. (1926 views) | | | Tasted by Mortgage92 on 9/13/2019 & rated 89 points: If anyone has this - drink NOW! (2428 views) | | | Tasted by Jammy Wine on 8/22/2019 & rated 88 points: The 1991 Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne was surprisingly fresh and lean, a hallmark of white Burgundy before the premix era. Unlike the 1992, 1991 was a leaner vintage for White Burgundies, most of them are maturing to fully mature now with plenty of fresh acidity. Fresh yellow fruits, mild camomile, oily Corton Charlemagne characteristic. Very tempered nose with clean fruits and no signs of tertiary flavours, yet nothing particularly energetic or exciting. Glossed spicy finish. (88/100) (2555 views) | | | Tasted by Mortgage92 on 7/14/2019 & rated 88 points: Acidity is a little too strong and overbearing. Needs to be consumed now. (2241 views) | | | Tasted by smurfmacaw on 11/23/2018 & rated 95 points: Very nice. Toffee and mature warm aromas of stone fruit. Very complex. Acid has faded to the background but still there making for a nice wine that makes you think about the flavors. Everything is well rounded and integrated. Nice golden color. Tried it at the same time as the 2016 vintage to see what a wine that will last this long tastes like when very young. (2126 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 3/11/2017 & rated 90 points: Paulee. Solid, but lacked the energy of the better wines tonight. (3637 views) | | | Tasted by NikAlbert on 7/16/2016 & rated 94 points: Fantastic in the mouth even if the nose was a bit passive. Remarably fresh with a fantastic long aftertaste full of fruit, toffee and more (3304 views) | | | Tasted by Frank Murray III on 7/25/2015: This started out a bit smoky, reminding me of the fruit and aromatics of the recent Marcassin I had. However, it took only some air and ox time to shed that stuff and it became nothing like Marcassin but instead just really beautiful, youthful, 25 year old white burgundy. Flint, lemon drop, smoky and lime skin with orange blossom. Instead of Marcassin, it ended up reminding me more like Copain Brosseau, the fruit profile and texture. When I finally finished the last ounce or so at about the 3 hour mark into dinner, the acidity had really emerged and the lemon drop note was gorgeous. For a wine to show this well at 25 years old and remain youthful, it's a real gift to enjoy wines like this one. Loved it. (4389 views) | | | Tasted by brigcampbell on 7/25/2015: Book Club (The Winery, Newport Beach, CA): Blind. Guessed white burg.
Wow, I have very limited white burg experience but have heard many talk about it so when the nose exploded with flint, matchstick, and sulphur it sounded familiar. Fruit is a mild lemon and very long finish. I thought this was awesome. (4428 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 9/2/2014 & rated 90 points: HDH dinner (3586 views) | | | Tasted by Jeremy Holmes on 12/13/2013: From magnum this looked good. It was just a little wooly on the nose and had some toasty development. The white peach fruit was generous in the mouth and there's good volume and richness. It lacks the piercing line of the great BdM's but is delicious right now none the less. (3897 views) | | | Tasted by coremill on 6/28/2013 flawed bottle: Ex-domaine bottle, perfect cork, beautiful color .... and it's badly corked. ARGHGH. (4037 views) | | | Tasted by pads on 1/1/2013 & rated 92 points: persistance d'une belle acidité puis beau gras et belle longueur (3758 views) | | | Tasted by NoTrollingerPlease on 11/9/2012 & rated 90 points: Winespecials Wine Evening (Villa im Park / Kirchheim): Bright, pale golden yellow, nose almost closed, strong minerality, complex, strong acidity, long finish. Has potential for 5-10 more years. (4041 views) | | | Tasted by dead puddle on 3/7/2012 & rated 90 points: Blind tasted. Pop up and pour. Straw hue. Nose of caramel, pastrie and fresh pineaple. Mouth silky, integrated burned oak, a touch of cereals, enough freshness, balanced and low bitterness. Elegant. Medium finish. Perhaps the fruit could been more extracted. Sorry, it is blind noting, I didn't thought it was so old. So the caramel is a tertiary flavour. Drink it. Surely on the way down, but good. (4578 views) | | | Tasted by godx on 2/7/2012 & rated 91 points: WineFanatic Grand Cru Burgundy Offline (Vancouver, BC): Tasted blind – This was slightly darker than the ’00 Boillot—medium yellow. Quite a difference coming from the Boillot to this as this wine was very tight on the nose and clean of any sulfur. After some time in the glass and vigorous swirling the nose starting opening a bit giving notes of coconut, tropical fruits and floral. Richer and weightier in the mouth but with good acidity and freshness that made this seem more youthful than the Boillot. This, just like the Boillot, could use more time and based on this bottle, will improve with another 3-5 years in the cellar. While the Boillot seemed to have more complexity going on (especially on the nose), this offered perhaps a bit more generosity and richness and in the mouth so it’s really hard to pick a favorite...but on this night, I’d give a slight nod to the Boillot. Excellent. 91+ (3802 views) | | | Tasted by Flavito on 12/18/2011 & rated 89 points: A little tired and alcoholic, the least great from a fantastic trio. (3034 views) | | | Tasted by Jeremy Holmes on 12/13/2011: Mature but still fresh with subtle aromas of white flowers, white peaches and a lick of minerality. Round and textured in the mouth with a gentle kiss of acidity on the finish. Certainly stood up well in this exalted line up. (2502 views) | | | Tasted by Ludi on 7/18/2011 & rated 93 points: Wonderfully golden with some green hues. Nose reminds of acacia, hazelnut, flintstone and tropical fruits. Youthful mouth, very mineral, incredible length. (2640 views) | | | Tasted by Jeremy Holmes on 2/12/2011: The aroma has a hint of the exotic and a little candy. In the mouth it has great shape, is rich and textured with a solid mineral base. It finishes long and minerally and is drinking just so well. (2464 views) | | | Tasted by ricknat1 on 6/1/2010 & rated 92 points: At the Domaine: Very clean with a creamy aftertaste, very fresh. Not the same “Chablis” Minerality that I expect. The year was over cropped with high malic content. (2828 views) | | | Tasted by Lord Rayas on 5/31/2010 & rated 92 points: MNSC - Alex (Caprice): Opulent nose of toast, minerals, popcorn, lemon and honey. A tad short on the finish. Still excellent overall. (3462 views) | | | Tasted by Peech on 5/31/2010 & rated 95 points: A very beautiful wine. Lots of toast, minerals, popcorn, lemon, honey, smoke, sulfur... Nose was huge, fragrant and opulent, and the wine was incredibly smooth on the palate. (3050 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

Burgundy-Report (12/1/2006)
(Bonneau du Martray Corton-Charlemagne) Medium golden. Hints of oxidation - though mild - concentrated, nice texture, more oxidatative notes but acceptable, good acidity and heavily corked… |

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
