By Lyle Fass
(Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne) It is nice drinking white burgundy at its peak. This wine was just oozing with class and had a wonderful texture. Yellow fruits along with a waxey like flavor and texture. Like the softest pillow ever on your palate. Long detailed finish. Mature slightly baked fruit flavors and a nutty like palate impression and zingy minerality. Acidity was not high but also not super low . . .it was just right and perfectly integrated with the rest of the components. Balance is the key word here. Although this was was great cellaring white burgs is still a crapshoot due to oxidation issues.

This wine has been in the zone for the best part of a decade and this bottle was humming. Complex aromatics of white mushroom, truffle, preserved lemon and spice. It is quite elegant and silky, but has real focus and detail. Each sip reveals another subtle nuance, and the finish is precise and persistent.

This bottle was not oxidized but was also past its prime. Color is good.
Jasmine and vanilla and mushroom nose, a bit of honey. The palate is earthy, not showing much fruit, acid also faded, some fraying structure on the back end. Bottle by bottle at this point.

I have been fortunate enough to have had this wine many times over the years. It is now taking on some gentle exoticism to the nose (think mango and chamomile tea). It has white mushroom development and a palate that is rich, layered and detailed. It has the most wonderful acidity and is so fresh and long.

Stunning bottle that was almost tight upon opening. Lots of minerality and a long finish. Wish I had more and still has plenty of years to go. Color and fill were both excellent.

This is a fantastic bottle of wine. It is fine yet complex and powerful. There are notes of rockmelon, white peach, aniseed and toast. It is full and rich with a suggestion of honey and truffle just sneaking into the flavour profile. It has greet posture and the finish oozes minerality.
