We present deep CO(1-0) observations of NGC6240 performed with the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer (PdBI). NGC6240 is the prototypical example of a major galaxy merger in progress, caught at an early stage, with an extended, strongly-disturbed butterfly- like morphology and a heavily obscured active nucleus in the core of each progenitor galaxy.
