A wonderfully dry, textured, and aromatic wine of bright red color with delightful aromas of raspberries and plums. The fruity tones are complemented by hints of oak aging. This elegant wine pairs well with a variety of dishes, such as chicken in red wine, stuffed peppers, or goose breasts.
Bonneau du Martray
The large and splendid estate of Bonneau du Martray, owned by the Count de La Moriniere, is something of a rarity in Burgundy: its more than 25 acres form one continuous vineyard. What is all the more remarkable is that this great swath of vines produces two of Burgundy's finest wines - Corton (from Pinot Noir) and Corton Charlemagne (from Chardonnay).
The wines are made by traditional methods: soft pressing, barrel fermentation in new oak and careful aging. These are long lived wines that need a few years to show their character.
