Corton Charlemagne 2005 Bonneau du Martray

Professional reviews

Burghound (95)

Ripe yet distinctly discreet and reserved green fruit and floral aromas that are airy, pure and lightly spicy merge into intense, precise and penetrating medium full flavors blessed with terrific acid/fruit balance and huge length. This is really a lovely wine that is presently a tightly coiled spring and in need of extended bottle aging to really put on display the superb potential here. A stunner and one of the best examples of this appellation in 2005.

Jancis Robinson (18.50)

Lovely smoky nose with real richness underneath. Charming breadth but no lack of tension. Not fat at all though very intense. Powerful and mineral. Opened five days ago. Apparently it tastes just the same. Very fresh and firm and with great spine.
