I was trying to find something sturdy, early maturing, yet PN. This did
well.
But in general for Bonneau du Martray the Corton-Charlemagne is the
star, not the red (can one think of any other producer that only makes
2 wines, both Grand Cru, as far as I know?). Though prices are catching
up, for years it was best deal in GC white Burg imho.
