Myths about Corton-Charlemagne abound, but it is accepted that part of the vineyard did once belong to Charlemagne, King of the Franks, Holy Roman Emperor, reformer of education, father of Western Europe and famously, a wine lover…
Almost unique among Burgundy growers for only producing grand cru wines, Domaine Bonneau du Martray owns 11 hectares of vines on the famous hill of Corton, one of the largest holdings of grand cru vines of any Burgundy producer. The vast majority of the vines are chardonnay with just 1.5 hectares of pinot noir, making Corton-Charlemagne and Corton respectively.
In this webinar, we explore some key vintages of this outstanding producer with Thibault Jacquet, Director, joining us live from Domaine Bonneau du Martray.
