Bonneau du Martray – Singular Excellence in the Côte de Beaune

Pernand-Vergelesses • Corton Hill • Burgundy, France

The estate

A historic 11-hectare domaine exclusively producing Grand Cru Corton and Corton-Charlemagne wines. Located on the slopes of Corton hill (“En Charlemagne”, “Le Charlemagne”), it is the largest estate in the Côte de Beaune dedicated solely to these prestigious appellations.

Terroir & philosophy

A mosaic of limestone, marl and sand soils with west-facing exposure, allowing slow, even ripening. Certified organic and biodynamic viticulture, parcel-by-parcel precision, pursuit of purity.

Winemaking & ageing

• Fermentation with indigenous yeasts, parcels vinified separately.
• Ageing on fine lees in barrels and foudres (up to 30% new oak).
• Extended élevage (15 to 18 months depending on vintage).
• Owned since 2017 by Stanley Kroenke, preserving its historic style.

Style & tasting

• Corton-Charlemagne: tension, precision and salinity, excellent ageing potential.
• Corton red: refined structure, precise red fruit, mineral backbone.
