Tasting notes
The 1986 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru from Bonneau du Martray continues to drink beautifully today, offering up a complex bouquet that mingles the exotic—notions of apricot, tangerine oil and caramelized pineapple—with more reductive suggestions of iodine, smoke and freshly baked bread. Medium to full-bodied, elegantly textural and incisive, it's a bright, penetrating wine that lands somewhere between the extravagance of the 1983 and the structure of the 1985 in style.
