Bernard-Bonin | Lieux-Dits & 1ers Crus | Arrived!

Since inheriting a small list of crus from family in 1998, Nicolas Bernard and Véronique Bonin have become one of the Côte de Beaune's most talked-about addresses.

A scion of the Michelot family, the domaine's handful of holdings are attributed to Véronique Bonin. Together, this husband-and-wife duo cultivates their list of old-vine crus (averaging 80-years) with organic and biodynamic certifications. Bernard and Bonin favor long press cycles, minimal sulfur additions, occasional bâtonnages determined by taste, and reserving the same barrels for the same appellations ("the wood remembers the imprint of the wine," Véronique emphasizes). The lunar calendar, a prominent component to the domaine's ethos, guides their racking as well.

Each cuvée sees two winters' élevage in judicious percentages (<10%) of new oak. The resulting wines are fresh, rich, and mineral. Always released in small quantities...
