  June 24, 2021 - 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.

  August 22, 2019 - 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)
