Domaine Bernard-Bonin

Domaine Bernard-Bonin, founded in 1998 by the husband-and-wife team of Nicolas Bernard and Veronique Bonin, has rapidly gained prominence as a top Burgundy producer. With nine hectares of prime vineyard sites in the southwest end of their home village, Meursault, and exceptional climats in Puligny, the couple has cultivated a reputation for crafting exceptional White Burgundy wines.

Embracing thoughtful biodynamic farming and rigorous, attentive cellar practices, their wines boast energetic, textured, and distinctive profiles with remarkable nuance and detail. Their offerings stand out for their mouth-filling texture and nuanced use of oak, all the while remaining attuned to the complexities of their terroirs.

The 1er Cru Genevrieres displays the expected stature and grandeur from rocky soils and old vines, offering an intense and expressive character that rivals nearby grand crus. The 1er Cru Les Charmes-Dessus, sourced from 60-year-old vines in the limestone-rich vineyard, exhibits a fleshy and powerful profile with a backbone of fresh, elegant acids.

Domaine Bernard-Bonin's enviable collection of lieux dits includes the Clos du Cromin Le Pre de Manche, which boasts compact, vibrant fruit with smoky, nut-skin notes and a long finish. Les Tillets, harvested last on a steep slope, features juicy, saline, and herb-kissed fruits married to a mineral core. Le Limozin enchants with its floral, engaging, and bright character, supported by an underlying stoniness that allows it to age gracefully.

The 2020 vintage is a watershed moment for the Domaine and has cemented its place among the elite wineries of Burgundy. With a focus on biodynamic farming, sustainable viticulture, and meticulous cellar practices, this dynamic duo is creating a legacy of exceptional White Burgundy wines that captivate wine lovers around the world.
