Corton-Charlemagne Bonneau du Martray 2009 is a Grand Cru Chardonnay from the Côte de Beaune. This half bottle originates from a single 9.5-hectare parcel on the high slopes of the Corton hill where the limestone soil contains a high proportion of marl. Aromas of baked apple, lemon curd and toasted hazelnuts lead into a concentrated palate defined by a broad, coating texture. The flinty mineral edge of the estate remains the defining feature, providing a structural counterpoint to the ripe fruit.
