Domaine Bonneau du Martray

On Burgundy's legendary hill of Corton, Domaine Bonneau du Martray stands as one of the region's most historic and distinctive Grand Cru estates. This 11-hectare monopole commands the slopes of Pernand-Vergelesses with unwavering focus on two of Burgundy's greatest appellations: Corton-Charlemagne and Corton.

For over three centuries, this singular estate has pursued perfection through biodynamic viticulture and meticulous single-vineyard winemaking. Under the stewardship of Jean-Charles le Bault de la Morinière, Domaine Bonneau du Martray has evolved into a beacon of sustainable excellence in Burgundy.

The estate's conversion to biodynamic farming reflects a deep commitment to terroir expression and environmental stewardship. Le Bault de la Morinière's philosophy centers on minimal intervention, allowing the nine distinct soil types across the domaine to speak through each vintage.

This approach has elevated the estate's reputation among collectors and critics who recognize the purity and authenticity of these Grand Cru expressions. The domaine produces exclusively Grand Cru wines: the flagship Corton-Charlemagne from 9.5 hectares of Chardonnay vines and the rare Corton rouge from 1.5 hectares of Pinot Noir.

These investment-grade wines showcase the complexity of limestone and marl soils, with the west and southwest exposition providing optimal sun exposure for gradual ripening. Each vintage reflects the estate's rigorous selection process and traditional winemaking techniques, resulting in wines of exceptional longevity and mineral precision.

Critics consistently praise these ultra-premium expressions for their architectural structure and profound terroir character. Visiting Domaine Bonneau du Martray offers an intimate encounter with Burgundian heritage and biodynamic innovation. The historic cellars beneath the hill of Corton provide the perfect setting for tastings by appointment only, ensuring personalized attention for each guest.

The estate's architectural elements, including traditional Burgundian stonework and modern sustainable facilities, create a compelling backdrop for understanding the marriage of tradition and innovation. Private tastings reveal the nuanced differences between vineyard plots, offering collectors unique insights into terroir expression across the domaine's diverse microclimates.
