Bonneau du Martray now prefers to show finished wines rather than wines in barrel, so I did not taste the 2023s on my most recent visit. The bottled 2022s are excellent, but they are also a bit more reserved post-bottling than they were last year. Technical Director Emmanuel Hautus continues to give these wines greater precision through a focus on parcel-by-parcel vinification, experimentation with larger-format oak and the selection of coopers based on the style of individual vintages. I’ve included a handful of notes for older vintages that I tasted in two recent visits that aren’t quite enough for a stand-alone report.

I tasted a wide range of wines with Chef de Cave Emmanuel Hautus during my most recent visit to Bonneau du Martray, including a few prior releases I will be writing about separately. The last ten years or so have seen a continuous series of refinements here, including gentler and longer ferments, lower sulfur during élevage and the introduction of 12HL casks in the cellar for the Corton-Charlemagne. That comes through in wines of notable precision and class. Even so, my impression is that the domaine is still on the ascent.
