Provenance & Masters Behind the Bottle

Owned by the de La Morinière family since the early 19th century, Domaine Bonneau du Martray has cultivated its legacy through a judicious blend of tradition and modern oenological practices. Jean-Charles Le Bault de La Morinière, the winemaker and proprietor, is a significant figure who has maintained the winery’s ethos of quality and authenticity.

Vineyard & Craftsmanship

Located in the Côte de Beaune region, the vineyard boasts old vines, some more than 40 years old, that produce a limited yield, adding a layer of exclusivity and scarcity to the wine. Predominantly Chardonnay, with a small proportion of Pinot Noir, the vineyard emphasizes the importance of soil and climate, leveraging a blend of limestone and marl to contribute to the wine's nuanced flavors.

Aging & Investment Value

With a remarkable aging potential of up to 20 years for its Chardonnays, the wines from Domaine Bonneau du Martray offer not just sensory gratification but long-term investment value. A bottle from a superior vintage can multiply in worth, rendering it a smart acquisition for savvy collectors.
