Bonneau Du Martray, Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru, 1991
🏰 The 1991 Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru is a 【legendary white Burgundy from a historic estate】, showcasing the profound power and complexity of this Grand Cru. Bonneau du Martray is one of the most respected producers of Corton-Charlemagne. The 1991 Burgundy vintage was generally good, particularly for whites, which offered excellent structure and aging potential. This wine, at 35 years old, is expected to be in its prime, displaying magnificent tertiary development.
🍴 This majestic white Burgundy demands equally grand food pairings, such as roasted lobster, pan-seared foie gras, truffle-infused risotto, or rich poultry dishes like capon. It is also exceptional with mature, nutty hard cheeses like Comté or aged Gouda.
🥂 A truly grand wine for a momentous occasion, a significant anniversary, or a serious white Burgundy tasting. Expect a deep golden color and complex tertiary aromas of dried fruit, nuts, honey, and possibly a hint of mushroom or truffle. Careful handling of the cork and decanting to remove any potential sediment is advised. Serve at 12-14°C.
BACKGROUND
Domaine Bonneau du Martray is a highly regarded wine producer based in the village of Pernand-Vergelesses, in the Côte de Beaune subregion of Burgundy's Côte d'Or heartland, France. The domaine was founded by the Bonneau family following the French Revolution, but the vineyards already had a reputation for producing exceptional wines. It is estimated that vines have exsisted here since Roman times and that emperor Charlemagne was a devotee – to the red wines in particular.
