Aromas of dark berries, licorice, clove and violets introduce the 2020 Corton Grand Cru, a medium to full-bodied, deep and layered wine that's concentrated, pure and vibrant, with a suave, seamless profile and a long, perfumed finish. In many ways, the renaissance of this cuvée is even more striking than the improvements to the domaine's Corton-Charlemagne, because it's emerging as a really very interesting wine.

Aromas of orange oil, plums, dark berries, cloves and rose hips introduce the 2019 Corton Grand Cru, a medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated wine with a deep core of fruit framed by rich, powdery tannins and lively acids. It's the latest rendition of a cuvée that is really going from strength to strength.

Bursting with notes of blackberries, woodsmoke, spices and rich soil tones, the 2018 Corton Grand Cru from Bonneau du Martray is full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, with a rich and ample core of fruit that's lively and concentrated, built around powdery tannins and succulent acids. Long and expansive, this may be the domaine's best red wine to date.

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.

The 2016 Corton Grand Cru is showing well from bottle, unwinding in the glass to blow off a light touch of youthful reduction, revealing aromas of cassis, spices and rich soil tones. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, deep and nicely concentrated, with juicy acids, powdery tannins and good length on the finish. The 2016 can't match the depth and amplitude of the 2015 rendition, but it's a very good effort.
