Domaine Bonneau du Martray, Pernand-Vergelesses, Burgundy
Jean-Charles le Bault de la Moriniere took over from his father Jean in 1994 after giving up his career as an architect.

He has taken this estate a long way in nearly two decades and the wines are finer and more attractive than ever.

He is also edging towards a biodynamic regime in the vineyards which has certainly made a difference to both the Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru and its red brother Corton Grand Cru.

The 11ha of vines, all on the Pernand side of the Corton hill, are split up into many different parcels and they are vilified separately before being carefully reassembled to make the finished wine.

I am a massive fan of the Corton-Charlemagne from this property not least because it is a shimmering beauty, and also because it is my wife Amelia’s favourite white wine!
