    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Bonneau du Martray, Corton Charlemagne, Grand Cru, 2006

    Opulent and lively this bursts with zesty citrus and limestone characteristics with a rich creamy butter and nut core, touches of wild honey on the finish.

    ABV:
    13.5%
    92+/100
    Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
    Very pale yellow-green color. Nose dominated by lime, crushed stone and steely minerality. Densely packed and almost painfully dry, with taut, penetrating citrus and mineral flavors showing more energy than flesh today. This ungiving grand cru has plenty of depth and flavor intensity but is an infant today. The stony, austere finish is like touching a live wire. This seems every bit as steely as the estate's 2007 at the same stage but denser; in fact, this may be even more closed.
