Domaine Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru 2011

Domaine Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru 2011 Delicious in a fairly tight, citrus-driven style with tingling minerality and early limestone richness. Will most likely gain in complexity with another 5-10 years of maturation but a treat already. Critical Acclaim 92 Vinous The 2011 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru was served blind at a dinner in Bordeaux. This has always been a fine vintage from the estate, although it has lost a little vigor since my last encounter. The nose is quite strict, offering scents of lemon verbena, red apples and a touch of orange pith, and not as flinty as I found in its youth. The palate is well balanced and delivers the weight one expects from a Corton-Charlemagne, though you could argue it does not quite deliver the complexity of the greatest vintages on the finish. Pretty, but maybe it just lacks a little personality. I think decanting for 2–3 hours would have benefited this wine. Tasted blind in Bordeaux.  91 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate The
