A blue chip collection filled with top California cult and fine Burgundy. The collector began amassing Old World wines when living in Montreal and Toronto and expanded his appreciation for California wine when living in San Francisco. Starting his cellar in the late 1990's, the majority of the wines were purchased directly from the winery or estate and were stored in a temperature and humidity-controlled private cellar.

This is the tasting note for 2016 Domaine Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru from Robert Parker - The 2016 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is showing superbly from bottle, unwinding in the glass with a classy bouquet of crisp green apple, pears, almond paste, fresh pastry and Meyer lemon. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, concentrated and precise, with serious depth, tangy acidity, and chewy structuring dry extract while remaining elegantly textural. Intense and complete, it's an immensely promising wine which augers well for Bonneau du Martray's future. 2017 Domaine Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru from this lot has the following scores - CellarTracker 95 points. This is the tasting note for 2017 Domaine Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru from Robert Parker - The 2017 Corton Grand Cru is showing beautifully from bottle, wafting from the glass with aromas of licorice, blackberries, dried flowers, anise and rich soil tones. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and lively, with good depth at the core, racy acids and an elegantly chalky finish. Finer-boned than the more muscular, textural 2018, this is an elegant middle-weight that already reflects the team's efforts to improve their red wines. 2018 Domaine Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru from this lot has the following scores - Decanter 98 points. This is the tasting note for 2018 Domaine Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru from Robert Parker - A terrific effort in a vintage that often produced rather open-knit, soft white Burgundies, the 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru continues to perform very well. Mingling aromas of sweet citrus and stone fruits with notions of oatmeal, anise and flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, exhibiting excellent depth at the core and impressive precision. Racy, charming and attractively complete, it stands out from its peers.
