91-93 points, “A pungent nose reflects notes of menthol, wood toasty and a type of reduction the Burgundians call bourgeon de cassis. The succulent, indeed juicy medium-bodied flavours possess a lovely texture and fine mid-palate concentration before culminating a minerally yet suave finish that delivers sneaky good length. If this can add more depth with a decade of bottle age it could well merit the upper end of my predicted range.” – Allen Meadows, Burghound
In 2016 hailstorms and frosts severely cut yields throughout Burgundy, so there is precious little of it around. So, don’t miss out on this fleeting opportunity. Drawing the cork, you’ll discover a youthful wine with aromas of crème de cassis, spices and freshly turned soil. On the silky palate, expect damson, sloe and cherry. Deep and concentrated, this Pinot Noir has a juiciness that makes it really hard to put down.
Domaine Bonneau du Martray is the leading estate in Pernand-Vergelesses producing only Grand Cru wines, and their biodynamic-farmed Corton-Charlemagne is considered one of the pinnacles of what can be achieved with the Chardonnay grape. The estate is owned by Stan Kroenke, an American businessman who also owns Arsenal Football Club and California’s most famous winery, Screaming Eagle.
