The wine graces the glass with a pristine and inviting color, displaying a luminous golden hue that hints at the richness within.

The palate unfolds with a luxurious texture, and the well-integrated acidity contributes to a seamless and lingering finish. The enduring taste is a harmonious blend of fruit, minerality, and a touch of creaminess, leaving an indelible impression of Corton-Charlemagne's unique terroir. Bonneau du Martray's 2020 vintage is a masterpiece, embodying the purity and finesse that characterize this esteemed Burgundian estate.

"As I wrote earlier this year, Bonneau du Martray's 2020 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru unwinds in the glass with aromas of crisp Anjou pear, peach and nectarine mingled with white flowers, clear honey, nutmeg, mint and fresh bread. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, it's bright and concentrated, with terrific depth at the core and a long, saline finish. Seamless, intense and complete, this elegant, precise white Burgundy is built for the cellar."

"The 2020 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru was bottled in May 2022. It has a light bouquet at first, gaining intensity with time, scents of beeswax, chalk and touches of Mirabelle. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. Quite tensile, backward and fine salinity. There is a pleasant residual spiciness here that comes through on the finish. The remainder of barrel maturation will lend more depth and weight and it will benefit from 3-5 years in bottle."
